Where a public sanitary sewer is not available under the provisions of §
118-5 above, the building sewer shall be connected to a private sewage disposal system complying with the provisions established by the Ulster County Department of Health.
Hereafter, before commencement of construction of a private sewage disposal
system within the district boundaries, the owner shall first obtain a written
permit from the Ulster County Health Department. The permit shall be made
on a form furnished by the Ulster County Health Department and may be supplemented
by any plans, specifications and other information as are deemed necessary
by the Ulster County Health Department.
A permit for a private sewage disposal system shall not become effective
until the installation is completed to the satisfaction of the Ulster County
Health Department, 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 Ulster County Health Department.
The type, capacities, location and layout of a private sewage disposal
system shall comply with all recommendations of the Department of Health of
the State of New York. No septic tank or cesspool shall be permitted to discharge
to any natural outlet.
The owner shall operate and maintain the private sewage disposal facilities
in a sanitary manner at all times, at his own expense and at no expense to
the improvement.
At such time as a public sewer becomes available to a property served by a private sewage disposal system, as provided in Article
II, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer in compliance with this chapter, and any septic tanks, cesspools and similar private sewage disposal facilities shall be cleaned of sludge and liquid, abandoned and filled with suitable material.
No statement contained in Articles
II and
III shall be construed to override or interfere with any additional requirements that may be imposed by the authorized representative of the Ulster County Department of Health or the New York State Department of Health.
