Where a public sewer is not available under the provisions of
Section 304, 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.
A completed 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 lot lines, well
or water supply, and buildings, shall be submitted to the Village.
A fee, established by Section 1201, shall accompany the application. The wastewater disposal
system shall be designed by a professional engineer, licensed surveyor,
or architect, and shall be in accordance with the NYSDOH "Standards
for Waste Treatment Works" or NYSDEC "Standards for Commercial and
Institutional Facilities," as appropriate.
A written construction permit shall be obtained from the Superintendent
before commencement of construction. The Superintendent, or his designated
representative, shall be permitted to inspect the construction work
at any stage without prior notice.
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 or the NYSDOH, the
owner of the premises upon which such wastewater disposal system is
located, upon receiving written notice from the Superintendent to
do so, shall, within 90 days after receipt of such notice, 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 NYSDOH, 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 scavenger wastes, at three-year intervals
or more frequently.
At such time that a public sewer becomes available to a property,
a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer, in compliance
with this chapter, and any cesspool, septic tank, and similar wastewater
disposal facilities shall be cleaned of septage, by a licensed septage
hauler, and finally either filled with clean sand, bank-run gravel,
or dirt, or removed and properly disposed. When the connection is
made to the public sewer, the connection to the private wastewater
disposal facility shall be broken and both ends of the break shall
be plugged, as appropriate.
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 public health and public
welfare.
