[Amended 2-4-2003 by L.L. No. 2-2003]
The owner of each house, building or property used for human occupancy,
employment, recreation or other purposes situated within the Village and abutting
on any street or right-of-way in which there is now located a public sanitary
sewer of the Village is hereby required, at the owner's expense, to install
suitable sanitary facilities therein and to connect such facilities directly
with the proper public sewer, in accordance with the provisions of this chapter,
within 30 days after official notice to do so.
The use of the Village public sewers shall be strictly limited and restricted, except as provided in § 471-13 of this chapter, to receive and accept the discharge of sewage and other wastes, including industrial wastes generated on or discharged from real property within the bounds of the service area of the POTW.
A.
The Board of Trustees of the Village, on the recommendation
of the Superintendent, shall have the authority to enter into agreements to
accept sewage and other wastes, including industrial wastes, generated by
or discharged from persons outside the service area of the POTW.
B.
If the person is a municipality, that municipality shall
have enacted sewer use laws, ordinances or regulations as restrictive on the
discharge of sewage and other wastes as the restrictions contained in this
chapter.
C.
If the person is not a municipality, the discharge shall
be made only with the expressed written consent, in the form of a permit,
of the Superintendent setting forth the terms and conditions of such a discharge.
Pursuant to the recommendation of the Superintendent, who determines
that one or more segments of the POTW is exceeding its hydraulic capacity
at any time; or any specific purpose of this chapter is being violated, the
Board of Trustees of the Village shall have the authority to limit or deny
new connections to the POTW until it shall determine that the conditions leading
to the moratorium have been corrected.
All requirements, directives and orders calling for mandatory use of
the sewers within the service area of the POTW for the proper discharge of
sewage and other wastes, including industrial wastes, shall be established
and given by the Board of Trustees of the Village, NYSDEC, USEPA and/or other
such state or federal agencies which have enforcement powers.
