Where a public sanitary sewer is not available under the provisions of §
278-9, the building sewer shall be connected to a private sewage disposal system complying with the provisions of this article and all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations as well as any other stipulation as set forth in prior or subsequent chapters and as amended.
Before commencement of construction of a private sewage disposal
system the owner shall first obtain a written permit signed by the
Code Enforcement Officer. The application for such permit shall be
made on a form furnished by the Code Enforcement Officer, which the
applicant shall supplement with any plans, specifications and other
information as are deemed necessary by the Code Enforcement Officer
and the Chief Operator. A permit and inspection fee shall be established
by an amount fixed in the schedule of fees for code enforcement.
A permit for a private sewage disposal system shall not become
effective until the installation is completed to the satisfaction
of the Code Enforcement Officer and Chief Operator and in compliance
with all plans, specifications and other information submitted as
part of the application for the construction permit. The Code Enforcement
Officer and the Chief Operator shall be allowed to inspect the work
at any stage of construction, and, in any event, the applicant for
the permit shall notify the Code Enforcement Officer and the Chief
Operator when the work is ready for final inspection and before any
underground portions are covered. The inspection shall be made within
24 hours or as soon as practicable upon the receipt of notice by the
Code Enforcement Officer.
Within 60 days and upon official notice of such time as a public sewer becomes available to a property served by a private sewage disposal system, as provided in this article, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer in compliance with this Part
2, and any septic tanks, cesspools and similar private sewage disposal facilities shall be cleaned of sludge and filled with clean bank-run gravel or dirt at the direction, supervision and upon inspection of the Chief Operator and such associated costs shall be borne by the property owner except as hereinafter set forth in §
278-41. For the purposes of this article, a public sewer shall become available to a property when the public sewer is within 100 feet (30.5 meters) of a property line and is within a formally recognized sewage disposal benefit area or sewer district, and/or is recognized by the Village Board of Trustees as an outside of area user.
The owner shall operate and maintain the private sewage disposal
facilities in a sanitary manner at all times, at no expense to the
Village of Naples.
No statement contained in this article shall be construed to
interfere with any additional requirements that may be imposed by
the Health Officer, the NYS Department of Health, the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) or the NYS DEC.
