Where a public sewer is not available, under the provisions of §
112-12, the building lateral shall be connected to a private wastewater disposal system complying with the provisions of the Rules and Regulations of the New York State Department of Health, to be enforced by the Superintendent and/or the County Health Department.
No two separate permanent buildings where the intended use for either
is for a distinct and separate business or a dwelling place for a private
family or families shall be connected to the same individual septic tank and
tile absorption field.
A completed application form, containing results of percolation tests, computations and a plot plan, including the design and cross-section of the wastewater disposal system in relation to lot lines, adjacent and on-site well or water supply and buildings, shall be submitted to the Village of Albion. A fee established by Article
XIII shall accompany the application. The wastewater disposal system shall be designed by a professional engineer, licensed surveyor or architect and shall be in accordance with the New York State Department of Health's Standards for Waste Treatment Works or the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's Standards for Commercial and Institutional Facilities, as appropriate.
A written construction permit shall be obtained from the Superintendent
before construction commencement. The Superintendent, or his/her designated
representative, shall be permitted to inspect the construction work at any
stage, without prior notice.
When the liquid or liquid-borne effluent from a private wastewater disposal
system enters any watercourse, ditch, storm sewer or water supply system located
in the Village of Albion in such a manner, volume and concentration so as
to create a hazardous, offensive or objectionable condition, in the opinion
of the Superintendent, the County Health Department or the New York State
Department of Health, the owner of the premises upon which such wastewater
disposal system is located, upon receiving written notice from the Superintendent
to do so, shall within 90 days after receipt of such notice repair, rebuild
or relocate such wastewater disposal system for the purpose of eliminating
such hazardous, offensive or objectionable conditions. The repair, rebuilding
or relocation of the system shall be accomplished in accordance with the rules
and regulations of the New York State Department of Health and the County
Health Department, at the owner's expense.
The owner shall operate and maintain the private wastewater disposal
system in a satisfactory manner at all times, at the owner's expense.
Where a private wastewater disposal system utilizes a cesspool or a
septic tank, septage shall be removed from the cesspool or septic tank by
a licensed hauler of trucked and hauled wastes, at three-year intervals or
more frequently.
At such time that a public sewer becomes available to a property, a
direct connection shall be made to the public sewer, in compliance with this
chapter, and any cesspool, septic tank and similar wastewater disposal facilities
shall be cleaned of septage by a licensed septage hauler and, finally, either
filled with clean sand, bank-run gravel or dirt or removed and properly disposed.
When the connection is made to the public sewer, the connection to the private
wastewater disposal facility shall be broken, and both ends of the break shall
be plugged, as appropriate.
No statement in this Article shall be construed to prevent or interfere
with any additional requirements that may be deemed necessary by the Superintendent
to protect public health and public welfare.
