It shall be unlawful for any person to place, deposit or permit
to be deposited in any unsanitary manner upon public or private property

in the normal course of crop gardening operations or farming.
It shall be unlawful to discharge into any watercourse, either
directly or through any storm sewer, within the Town, any sewage,

in the Town. No combined sewers will be allowed to be constructed
in the future.
Except as hereinafter provided, it shall be unlawful to construct
or maintain any privy, privy vault, septic tank, cesspool or other
