Where a public sanitary sewer is not available, the service
line shall be connected to a private sewage disposal system complying
with provisions established by the New York State Department of Health.
The applicant shall operate and maintain such private disposal
system in a sanitary manner at all times. Should conditions develop
that render the system inoperative or unsanitary as determined by
the Department, cleaning, repairing or replacing of the system will
be required at the applicant's expense and as prescribed by the Department
and the New York State Department of Health.
No statement contained in this chapter shall be construed to
interfere with any additional requirements that may be imposed by
the authorized representative of the State of New York, the New York
State Department of Health and other applicable rules and regulations.
Before any person commences construction of a private sewage
disposal system, they shall first obtain a written permit signed by
the Department. The application for such permit shall be made on a
form furnished by the Town, on which the applicant shall include plans,
specifications and other information as are deemed necessary by the
Department.
A permit for a private sewage disposal system shall not become
effective until the installation is completed to the satisfaction
of the New York State Department of Health and the Department. Both
the New York State Department of Health and the Department shall be
allowed to inspect the work at any stage of construction, and, in
any event, the applicant for the permit shall notify the New York
State Department of Health and the Department when the work is ready
for final inspection and before any underground portions are covered.
The inspection shall be made within 48 hours of the receipt of notice
by the New York State Department of Health.
