Where a public sanitary or combined sewer is not available under the provisions of Article
II, §
311-5, the building sewer shall be connected to a private sewer disposal system complying with the provisions of this article.
Before commencement of construction of a private sewage disposal
system, the owner shall first obtain a written permit signed by the
Superintendent. The application for such permit shall be made on a
form furnished by the Village, which the applicant shall supplement
by any plans, specifications and other information as are deemed necessary
by the Superintendent. A permit and inspection fee of $10 shall be
paid to the Village at the time the application is filed.
A permit for a private sewage disposal system shall not become
effective until the installation is completed to the satisfaction
of the Superintendent. He shall be allowed to inspect the work at
any stage of construction, and in any event the applicant for the
permit shall notify the Superintendent when the work is ready for
final inspection and before any underground portions are covered.
The inspection shall be made within 48 hours of the receipt of notice
by the Superintendent.
The type, capacities, location and layout of a private sewage
disposal system shall comply with all recommendations of the Department
of Public Health of the State of New York. No permit shall be issued
for any private sewage disposal system employing subsurface soil-absorption
facilities where the area of the lot is less than 20,000 square feet.
No septic tank or cesspool shall be permitted to discharge to any
natural outlet.
At such time as a public sewer becomes available to a property served by a private sewage disposal system as provided in Article
III, §
311-9, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer in compliance with this chapter, and any septic tanks, cesspools and similar private sewage disposal facilities shall be abandoned and filled with suitable material.
The owner shall operate and maintain the private sewage disposal
facilities in a sanitary manner at all times, at no expense to the
Village.
No statement contained in this article shall be construed to
interfere with any additional requirements that may be imposed by
the Health Officer.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
When a public sewer becomes available, the building sewer shall be connected to said sewer as provided in §
311-5, and the private sewage disposal system shall be cleaned of sludge and filled with clean bank-run gravel or dirt.
