complying with the provisions of this article.
B.Â
The means of sewage disposal for a building (multiple
dwelling residences, commercial uses and industrial uses) in which

system constructed within 10 feet of the building and lawfully connected
thereto.
Before commencement of construction of a septic
sewage disposal system, the owner shall obtain written approval from
the Rockland County Department of Health.
A permit for a septic sewage disposal system
shall not become effective until the installation is completed to
the satisfaction of the Rockland County Department of Health, in addition
to the Plumbing Inspector. The Plumbing Inspector and/or the Rockland

any time during construction, and, in any event, the applicant for
the permit shall notify the Plumbing Inspector when the work is ready

installation. No septic tank or cesspool shall be permitted to discharge
into any sanitary sewer unless approved by the Village Engineer and
the Board of Trustees.
The owner shall operate and maintain the septic
sewage disposal facilities in a sanitary manner at all times, at no
expense to the Village.
No statement contained in this article shall
be construed to interfere with any additional requirements that may
be imposed by the Rockland County Department of Health.
