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.
