Where a public sanitary sewer is not available under the provisions of §
163-5, the building sewer shall be connected to a private sewage disposal system complying with the requirements of the New York State Department of Health and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation dealing with septic tank installations. A permit must be obtained prior to installation of said facilities from the Village Board.
At such time as a public sewer becomes available to a property served by a private sewage disposal system as provided in §
163-5, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer in compliance with this chapter within six months, and any septic tanks, cesspools and similar private sewage disposal facilities shall be abandoned and filled with suitable material.
No statement contained in this article shall
be construed to interfere with any additional requirements that may
be imposed by the authorized representative of the New York State
Department of Health.
Where a private wastewater disposal system utilizes
a cesspool or a septic tank, septage shall be removed from the cesspool
or septic tank by a licensed hauler of trucked and hauled wastes at
five-year intervals or more frequently.
A completed application form containing results
of percolation tests, computations and a plot plan, including the
design and cross-section of the wastewater disposal system, in relation
to lot lines, adjacent and on-site well or water supply and building,
shall be submitted to the Village. A fee, established by Article 12,
shall accompany the application. The wastewater disposal system shall
be designed by a professional engineer, licensed surveyor or architect,
and shall be in accordance with the NYSDOH - Standards for Waste Treatment
Works, or NYSDEC Standards for Commercial and Institutional Facilities,
as appropriate.
A written construction permit shall be obtained
from the Village before construction commencement. The Village, or
his designated representative, shall be permitted to inspect the construction
work at any stage, without prior notice.
When the liquid or liquid-borne effluent from
a private wastewater disposal system enters any watercourse, ditch,
storm sewer or water supply system, located in the Village, in such
a manner, volume and concentration so as to create a hazardous, offensive
or objectionable condition, in the opinion of the Village, the County
Health Department or the NYSDOH, the owner of the premises upon which
such wastewater disposal system is located, upon receiving written
notice from the Village to do so shall, within 90 days after receipt
of such notice, repair, rebuild or relocate such wastewater disposal
system for the purpose of eliminating such hazardous, offensive or
objectionable conditions. The repair, rebuilding or relocation of
the system shall be accomplished in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the NYSDOH and the County Health Department at the
owner's expense.
