It shall be unlawful for any person to place, deposit, or permit
to be deposited, in any unsanitary manner, on public or private property,
within the Town of Cazenovia, or in any area under the jurisdiction
of the Town of Cazenovia, any human or animal excrement, garbage or
objectionable waste; except such duly designated areas which are operated
under the rules and regulations of the Department of Health of the
State of New York and the Town; provided, however, that this section
shall not be construed to prohibit or prevent the storage, use and
spreading of manure, fertilizer or other similar materials for purposes
of farming, gardening or horticulture.
It shall be unlawful to discharge to any watercourse in the
Town of Cazenovia, either directly or through any storm sewer, any
sanitary sewage, industrial waste, or other polluted waters, except
where treatment has been provided in accordance with an NPDES/SPDES
permit. Use of separate storm sewers and sanitary sewers is mandatory,
and no combined sewers will be allowed when construction of new facilities
is undertaken.
The use of the public sewers shall be strictly limited and restricted, except as provided in §
130-14, to receive and accept the discharge of sewage and other wastes generated on or discharged from real property within the bounds of the Town of Cazenovia and from sewer systems, properties and users permitted to discharge sewage and other wastes for treatment by the POTW treatment facility.
The Town Board, on the recommendation of the Chief Operator,
shall have the authority to enter into agreements to accept sewage
and other wastes generated by or discharged from persons outside the
service area of the POTW.
A. If the
person is a municipality, that municipality shall have enacted a sewer
law as restrictive on the discharge of sewage and other wastes as
the restrictions contained in this chapter.
B. If the
person is not a municipality, the discharge shall be made only with
the expressed written consent of the Chief Operator (the issuance
of a permit) setting forth the terms and conditions of such a discharge.
At the recommendation of the Chief Operator, who determines
that one or more segments of the POTW is exceeding its hydraulic or
organic treatment capacity at any time or any specific purpose of
this chapter is being violated:
A. The Town Board shall have the authority to limit or deny new connections
to the POTW until the conditions leading to the moratorium are corrected.
Such correction may be by:
(1) Construction of new facilities.
(2) Enlarging existing facilities.
(3) Correction of inflow and infiltration.
(4) Cleaning and repairing of existing facilities.
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 shall be established and given
by the Town of Cazenovia Town Board, NYSDEC, USEPA and/or other such
state or federal agencies which have enforcement powers.
