New sanitary sewers and all extensions to sanitary sewers owned and
operated by the Village of Oxford shall be designed in accordance with the
Recommended Standards for Sewage Works, as adopted by the Great Lakes-Upper
Mississippi River Board of State Sanitary Engineers (Ten State Standards),
and in strict conformance with all requirements of the NYSDEC. Plans and specifications
shall be submitted to and written approval shall be obtained from the Wastewater
Treatment Operator and the NYSDEC before initiating any construction.
All sanitary sewers and extensions to sanitary sewers constructed at
the applicant's expense, after final approval and acceptance by the Wastewater
Treatment Operator, and concurrence by the Village of Oxford Board, shall
become the property of the Village of Oxford and shall thereafter be operated
and maintained by the Village of Oxford. Said sewers, after their acceptance
by the Village of Oxford, shall be guaranteed against defects in materials
or workmanship for one year by the applicant. The guaranty shall be in such
form and contain such provision as deemed necessary by the Village of Oxford
Board, secured by a surety bond or such other security as the Village of Oxford
Board may approve.
No property owner, builder or developer shall be issued a building permit
for a new dwelling or structure requiring sanitary facilities unless a suitable
and approved method of wastewater disposal, conforming to this chapter, is
available. All housing construction or building development which takes place
after this chapter is enacted shall provide for an approved system of sanitary
sewers.
