[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
Before commencement of construction of a private sewage disposal
system, the owner shall first obtain a written permit from the appropriate
Health Department. The application for such permit shall be made on
a form furnished by the Village (reference Appendix #3[1]), which the applicant shall supplement by any plans, specifications
and other information as deemed necessary by the Superintendent. A
permit and inspection fee as set from time to time by the Board of
Trustees by resolution shall be paid to the Village at the time the
application is filed.
[1]
Editor's Note: Appendix 3 is on file in the Village offices.
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 written
notice by the Superintendent.
The type, capacities, location and layout of a private sewage
disposal system shall comply with all recommendations of the State
of Illinois Private Sewage Disposal Licensing Act (225 ILCS 225/1
et seq.) and code and with the State of Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency. 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 40,000 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 § 318-73, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer in compliance with this Part 4, 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, and 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 Local Health Officer.
When a public sewer becomes available, the building sewer shall
be connected to said sewer within 90 days and the private sewage disposal
system shall be cleaned of sludge and filled with clean bank-run gravel
or dirt.
