Where a public sewer is not available under the provisions of § 46-12, 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.
