It shall be unlawful for any person to place, deposit, or permit
to be deposited, in any unsanitary manner, on public or private property,
within the Village or in any area under the jurisdiction of the said
municipality, any human or animal excrement, garbage, or objectionable
waste. Also, no person shall discharge domestic sewage onto the surface
of the ground or discharge it in a way that permits it to come to
the surface of the ground.
No person shall connect a private sewage system so that sewage
flows into a storm sewer or into a drain intended exclusively for
stormwater.
No person shall discharge sewage into a well.
It shall be unlawful to discharge to any natural outlet, within
the Village or in any area under the jurisdiction of the said municipality,
any wastewater or other polluted waters, except where suitable treatment
has been provided in accordance with subsequent provisions of this
chapter.
No property owner, builder, or developer shall be issued a building
permit for a new or modified dwelling or structure requiring sanitary
facilities unless a suitable and approved method of wastewater disposal,
conforming to this chapter, is available. All housing construction
or building development, including reconstruction, redevelopment or
modification, which takes place after this chapter is enacted shall
provide for an approved system of sanitary sewers.
Except as hereinafter provided, it shall be unlawful to construct
or maintain any privy, privy vault, cesspool, septic tank, or other
facility intended or used for disposal of wastewater.
The owner(s) of all houses, buildings, or properties used for
human occupancy, employment, recreation, or other purposes, situated
within the Village, and abutting on any street, alley, or right-of-way
in which there is now located or may, in the future, be located a
public sewer, is hereby required, at the owner's expense, to install
suitable sanitary facilities therein, and to connect such facilities
directly with the proper public sewer, in accordance with the provisions
of this chapter, within 90 days after official notice to do so, provided
that said public sewer is within 100 feet (30.5 meters) of the property
line.
The use of the Village's public sewers shall be strictly limited and restricted, except as provided in §
206-14, to receive and accept the discharge of sewage and other wastes, including industrial wastes generated on or discharged from real property within the bounds of the service area of the POTW.
The Village Board, on the recommendation of the Superintendent,
shall have the authority to enter into agreements to accept sewage
and other wastes, including industrial wastes, generated by or discharged
from persons outside the service area of the POTW. If the person is
a municipality, that municipality shall have enacted a sewer use law
as restrictive on the discharge of sewage and other wastes as the
restrictions contained in this chapter. If the person is not a municipality,
the acceptance shall be made only with the express written consent
of the Superintendent (the issuance of a permit) setting forth the
terms and conditions of such an acceptance.
At the recommendation of the Superintendent, who determines
that one or more segments of the POTW is exceeding its hydraulic capacity
at any time or any specific purpose of this chapter is being violated,
the Village Board shall have the authority to limit or deny new connections
to the POTW until the conditions leading to the moratorium are corrected.
Such correction may be by construction of new facilities, enlarging
existing facilities, correction of inflow and infiltration, or cleaning
and repairing of existing facilities.
All requirements, directives, and orders calling for mandatory
use of the sewers, within the service area of the POTW, for the proper
discharge of sewage and other wastes, including industrial wastes,
shall be established and given by the Village Board, NYSDEC, USEPA,
and/or other such state or federal agencies, which have enforcement
powers.
