This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Sewer Code of the
Village of Woodsburgh."
[Amended 3-20-1989 by L.L. No. 15-1989]
All connections with sanitary sewers in the Village of Woodsburgh shall
conform to the requirements of this code and any other Nassau County or village
rules or regulations pertinent thereto.
[Amended 3-20-1989 by L.L. No. 15-1989]
All work shall be performed by or under the immediate supervision of
a plumber licensed by the Town of Hempstead.
The house sewer shall be of not less than six-inch extra-heavy cast-iron
pipe or transite pipe, and all joints shall be made watertight, and precautions
shall be taken to prevent caulking materials from percolating into the pipes.
A fresh-air inlet pipe shall be connected to the house drain just inside
of the house trap and extended to the outer air terminating with an open end
and at least 18 inches above the finished grade at the most available point.
The fresh-air inlet pipe shall be at least 1/2 the diameter of the house drain,
but in no case shall the fresh-air inlet pipe be less than four inches in
diameter. No vent caps shall be permitted, and the fresh-air inlet pipe shall
terminate with a return bend or a fresh air plate.
No curb box or similar device with grating placed in a sidewalk will
be permitted for fresh-air inlets.
Excavations or street openings necessary for sewer connections or installing
house sewers and water service pipes shall be made in accordance with the
ordinances and regulations of the Village of Woodsburgh. In lieu of a cash

in a form approved by the Village Counsel.
[Amended 3-20-1989 by L.L. No. 15-1989]
All work shall be subject to inspection by the Building Inspector. No
work shall be covered until it has been inspected and approved by the Building
Inspector.
The Board of Trustees may from time to time require the owners or occupants
of any or all property fronting or abutting on any street or portion thereof
to make and lay connection pipes to and from the sewer mains in said street
within such time and in such manner as the Board may prescribe; and whenever
any such owner or occupant shall have made default in making said connections
within the time specified, the Board may make, extend and complete the same,
and the actual expenses thereof, including all labor done and materials used,
shall be assessed upon each respective parcel of property and shall be collected
in the same manner as assessments for local improvements in accordance with
the Village Law.
After the street sewers are in operation, no owner or occupant of any
property in the village may build or erect or cause to be built or erected
any cesspool or septic tank or repair or cause to be repaired any existing
cesspool or septic tank when the same is for the purpose of carrying off sewage.
A violation of this chapter will be deemed a sufficient reason for the
Building Inspector to suspend a certificate of competency. Any suspension
of a certificate of competency shall be reported at the next regular meeting
of the Board of Trustees, who shall have power to revoke such certificate
of competency.
[Amended 3-20-1989 by L.L. No. 15-1989]

upon written application therefor, certifying that such installation or alteration
conforms to the provisions of this code.
