Where a public sanitary sewer is not available under the provisions of §
122-13, the building sewer shall be connected to a private wastewater disposal system complying with the provisions of this article.
Before commencement of construction of private
wastewater disposal system, the owner shall first obtain a written
permit signed by the Superintendent. The application for such permit
shall be made on a form furnished by the town and/or 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 as set by resolution of the Board of Trustees shall
be paid to the town and/or village at the same 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. He 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 48 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 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 §
122-12, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer in compliance with this chapter, and any septic tanks, cesspools and similar private wastewater disposal facilities shall be abandoned and filled with suitable material.
The owner shall operate and maintain the private
wastewater disposal facilities in a sanitary manner at all times,
at no expense to the Town and/or Village.
No statement contained in this Article shall
be construed to interfere with any additional requirements that may
be imposed by the Health Officer.
When a public sewer becomes available, the building
sewer shall be connected to said sewer within 60 days and the private
wastewater disposal system shall be cleaned of sludge and filled with
clean bank-run gravel or dirt.
