[Amended 9-13-2012]
Before commencement of construction of a private
sewage disposal system, the owner shall first obtain a written permit
signed by the Code Enforcement Official. The application for such
permit shall be made on a form furnished by the Borough, which the
applicant shall supplement by any plans, specifications and other
information as are deemed necessary by ordinance or by the Code Enforcement
Official.
[Amended 9-13-2012]
A permit for a private sewage disposal system
shall not become effective until the installation is completed to
the satisfaction of the Code Enforcement Official. He shall be allowed
to inspect the work at any state of construction, and, in any event
the applicant for the permit shall notify the Code Enforcement Official
when the work is ready for final inspection and before any underground
portions are covered. The inspection shall be made within two working
days of the receipt of notice by the Code Enforcement Official.
The type, capacity, location and layout of a
private sewage disposal system shall comply with all recommendations
of the Department of Health of the State of New Jersey. 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 sewage disposal system, as provided in Article II, § 220-5, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer in compliance with this chapter, and the use of any septic tanks, cesspools and similar private sewage disposal facilities shall be abandoned within 30 days of the making of such connection.
The owner shall operate and maintain the private
sewage disposal facilities in a sanitary manner at all times, at no
expense to the Borough.
No statement contained in this article shall
be construed to interfere with any additional requirements that may
be imposed by the Health Officer.
