Where a public sewer is not available, under the provisions of § 135-10, 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 Health Department.
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 and well or water supply and buildings, shall be submitted to the Village. A fee, in accordance with Article XII hereof, shall accompany the application. The wastewater disposal system, as designed by a professional engineer, licensed surveyor or architect, shall be in accordance with the NYSDOH Standards for Waste Treatment Works.
A written construction permit shall be obtained from the Superintendent before construction commencement. The Superintendent or his designated representative shall be permitted to inspect the construction work at any stage.
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 or concentration so as to create a hazardous, offensive or objectionable condition, in the opinion of the Superintendent, the County Health Department 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 and the County Health Department, at the owner's expense.
The owner shall operate and maintain the private wastewater disposal system in the satisfactory manner at all times, at the owner's expense.
Where a private wastewater disposal system utilizes a cesspool or a septic tank, that cesspool or septic tank shall be pumped out by a licensed hauler of scavenger wastes at four-year intervals or more frequently if requested by the Superintendent.
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 Part 1, 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.
