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 Town of Lyons or in any area under the jurisdiction of
the 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 Town of Lyons, or in any area under the jurisdiction of the 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 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 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 Town of Lyons 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 Town public sewers shall be strictly limited and restricted, except as provided in §
251-13, 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.
At the recommendation of the Authority, which determines that:
1) one or more segments of the POTW is exceeding its hydraulic capacity
at any time; or 2) any specific purpose of this chapter is being violated,
the Town 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:
A. Construction of new facilities.
B. Enlarging existing facilities.
C. Correction of inflow and infiltration.
D. 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 Town Board, NYSDEC, USEPA, and/or
other such state or federal agencies which have enforcement powers.
