and self-draining by means of noncollapsible, corrosion- and weather-resistant
hoses at least three inches in diameter.
E.
Private sewage treatment system.
(1)
Where a public sewer system is not available to a park, an adequate
sewage treatment system shall be provided to dispose of all sanitary
sewage in accordance with the rules and regulations of the New York
