Where a public sewer is not available, under the provisions
of § 305, the building lateral shall be connected to a private
wastewater disposal system complying with the provisions of the Rules
and Regulations of the NYSDOH, to be enforced by the Superintendent,
and/or the County Public Health Department.
No two separate permanent buildings, where the intended use
for either is for a distinct and separate business or a dwelling place
for a private family or families, shall be connected to the same individual
septic tank and tile absorption field.
A completed construction permit 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 lots lines, adjacent to on-site well or water supply,
and buildings, shall be submitted to the Village. A fee, established
in the Village's fee schedule, shall accompany the application.
The wastewater disposal system shall be designed by a professional
engineer and shall be in accordance with the NYSDOH's "Residential
Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems Design Handbook" dated 2012 or
latest revision, or the NYSDEC's "Design Standards for Intermediate
Sized Wastewater Treatment Systems" dated March 5, 2014, or latest
revision, as appropriate.
A written construction permit shall be obtained from the Village
before construction commencement. The permit allows the Superintendent,
or his designated representative, to inspect the construction work
at any state, without prior notice. The designing professional engineer
shall certify to the Village that the wastewater disposal system was
installed in accordance with the permit.
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 Village, in such a manner, volume, and
concentration so as to create a hazardous, offensive, or objectionable
condition, in the opinion of the Superintendent, the County Public
Health Department, or the NYSDOH, the owner of the premises upon which
such wastewater disposal system is located shall immediately cease
use of the system upon written notice from the Superintendent. The
owner shall, within 90 days, after receipt of notice from the Superintendent,
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
NYSDEC, NYSDOH, and the County Public Health Department, at the owner's
expense.
The owner shall operate and maintain the private wastewater
disposal system in a satisfactory manner at all times, at the owner's
expense.
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, as frequently
as required for proper operation.
When a connection is made to the public sewer, any connection
to a private wastewater disposal facility shall be broken and both
ends of the break shall be plugged liquidtight, as deemed appropriate
by the Superintendent, and any cesspool, septic tank, and similar
wastewater disposal facility shall be cleaned of septage, by a licensed
septage hauler, before finally either filled with clean sand, bank-run
gravel, or dirt, or removed and properly disposed.
No statement in this article shall be construed to prevent,
or interfere with, any additional requirements that may be deemed
necessary by the Superintendent, to protect the public health, safety
and welfare.
