142-36D, the building sewer shall be connected to a private sewage disposal system complying with the provisions of this chapter.
The type, capacities, location, and layout of a private sewage

At such time as a public sewer becomes available to a property served by a private sewage disposal system, as provided in §

The owner shall operate and maintain the private sewage disposal
facilities in a sanitary manner at all times, at no expense to the
Township or the POTW.
No statement contained in this chapter shall be construed to
interfere with any additional requirements that may be imposed by
the state or County Health Department or DNRE.
