to the following requirements:
A.
Before any work is commenced, an application for a
connection permit shall be filed with the Village Clerk which shall
show in detail the work to be performed, the size and location of
pipes and any other particulars that the Village Clerk or the Building
Inspector may require. As part of such application, there must be
filed with the Village Clerk the written approval and consent of the
Great Neck Sewer District or the Belgrave Sewer District, as the case
may be, to the connection to the sewer. The applicant shall also pay
to the Village Clerk a fee in the amount elsewhere provided for in
the Village ordinances, such fee to be in addition to any charge that
may be made by the sewer district.[1]
B.
Such work shall comply with all of the requirements
of the sewer district and such additional requirements as the Village
Clerk or the Building Inspector may determine. In case of inconsistency
between such requirements, the requirements of the sewer district
shall control.
C.
If the Building Inspector shall determine that all
of such requirements and all other requirements of this chapter have
been complied with, the Village Clerk may issue a permit authorizing
the performance of the work.
D.
Unless otherwise directed by the sewer district, all
work shall be performed, and the connection shall be made, in the
presence of a representative of said sewer district.
E.
Before a certificate of occupancy is issued in respect
to such work, or before a certificate of occupancy is issued for a
building which provides for a connection to the sanitary sewer of
either the Great Neck Sewer District or the Belgrave Sewer District,
the applicant shall first obtain and file with the Village Clerk a
certificate of compliance from the said sewer district.
No connections to the sanitary sewer of the
sewer district shall be used except in conformity with the following
requirements:
A.
All connections used by private owners or occupants
shall be laid and kept in repair at their own expense.
B.
All of such connections and the use thereof shall
comply with and be subject to all ordinances, rules and regulations
of the Great Neck Sewer District or the Belgrave Sewer District, as
the case may be, now in force or hereafter from time to time adopted.
C.
No pipe or drain or connection of any description,
other than a sanitary sewer line, shall be connected to the sewer
system of the sewer district.
D.
The said sewer system is designed and is intended
for the collection, transport, treatment and disposal of sanitary
sewage only, and the use thereof for any other purpose is hereby forbidden.
E.
No roof drain, surface water drain, cellar drain,
sump pump or garage drain, and no drain carrying or intended to carry
wastes from any air-conditioning unit, commercial refrigeration system,
swimming pool, automobile washing stand or garbage disposal system
or device, shall be connected to any sanitary sewer line or to the

A.
No building permit shall be issued for construction
of a new building or any alteration or addition to an existing building

was replaced with soils acceptable for filtration of waste from the
disposal system.

Any person who constructs, alters or adds to any building
requiring provision for sewage disposal and who does so without adequate
