[Amended 8-3-1999 by L.L.
No. 2-1999]
Before commencement of construction of a private
wastewater disposal system, the owner(s) shall first obtain a written
permit signed by the Superintendent. The application for such permit
shall be made on a form furnished by the Village, which the applicant
shall supplement by any plans, specifications and other information
as are deemed necessary by the Superintendent. A permit and inspection
fee, set from time to time by resolution of the Village Board of Trustees, shall be paid to the Village at the time the application
is filed.
A permit for a private wastewater disposal system
shall not become effective until the installation is completed to
the satisfaction of the Superintendent. The Superintendent shall be
allowed to inspect the work at any stage of construction, and, in
any event, the applicant for the permit shall notify the Superintendent
when the work is ready for final inspection and before any underground
portions are covered. The inspection shall be made within two hours
of the receipt of notice by the Superintendent.
The type, capacities, location and layout of
a private wastewater disposal system shall comply with all recommendations
of the Department of Public Health of the State of New York. No permit
shall be issued for any private wastewater disposal system employing
subsurface soil absorption facilities where the area of the lot is
less than 10,000 square feet. No septic tank or cesspool shall be
permitted to discharge to any natural outlet.
At such time as a public sewer becomes available to a property served by a private wastewater disposal system, as provided in Article
III, §
212-7, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer within 60 days in compliance with this Part
1, and any septic tanks, cesspools, and similar private wastewater disposal facilities shall be cleaned of sludge and filled with suitable material.
The owner(s) shall operate and maintain the
private wastewater disposal facilities in a sanitary manner at all
times, at no expense to the Village.
No statement contained in this article shall
be construed to interfere with any additional requirements that may
be imposed by the Health Officer.
