Where a public sanitary sewer is not available under the provisions of § 102-73, the building sewer shall be connected to a private sewage disposal system complying with the requirements of the New York State Department of Health and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation dealing with septic tank installations. A permit must be obtained prior to installation of said facilities from the Town Board.
At such time as a public sewer becomes available to a property served by a private sewage disposal system, as provided in § 102-73, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer in compliance with this Part 3 within six months, and any septic tanks, cesspools and similar private sewage disposal facilities shall be abandoned and filled with material approved by the Town.
No statement contained in this article shall be construed to
interfere with any additional requirements that may be imposed by
the authorized representative of the New York State Department of
Health.
Where a private wastewater disposal system utilizes a cesspool
or a septic tank, septage shall be removed from the cesspool or septic
tank by a licensed hauler of trucked and hauled wastes at five-year
intervals, or more frequently, as required by the AHJ.
A completed application form containing results of percolation
tests, computations and a plot plan, including the design and cross
section of the wastewater disposal system, in relation to lot lines,
adjacent and on-site well or water supply and building, shall be submitted
to the Town. A fee, as established, shall accompany the application.
The wastewater disposal system shall be designed by a professional
engineer licensed in New York, surveyor licensed in New York or architect
licensed in New York, and shall be in accordance with the New York
State Department of Health Standards for Waste Treatment Works, or
NYSDEC Standards for Commercial and Institutional Facilities, as appropriate.
A written construction permit shall be obtained from the Town
before construction commencement. The Town, or its designated representative,
shall be permitted to inspect the construction work at any stage without
prior notice.
When the liquid or liquid-borne effluent from a private wastewater
disposal system enters any watercourse, ditch, storm sewer or water
supply system located in the Town in such a manner, volume and concentration
so as to create a hazardous, offensive or objectionable condition,
in the opinion of the Town, the County Health Department or the NYSDOH,
the owner of the premises upon which such wastewater disposal system
is located, upon receiving written notice from the Town to do so,
within 90 days after receipt of such notice, shall repair, rebuild
or relocate such wastewater disposal system for the purpose of eliminating
such hazardous, offensive or objectionable conditions. The repair,
rebuilding or relocation of the system shall be accomplished in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the NYSDOH and the County Health
Department at the owner's expense.
