It shall be unlawful for any person to place, deposit or permit
to be deposited, in any unsanitary manner, on public or private property,
any human or animal excrement, garbage or objectionable waste. Also,
no person shall discharge domestic sewage onto the surface of the
ground or discharge it in a way that permits it to come to the surface
of the ground.
No person shall connect a private sewage system so that sewage
flows into a storm sewer or into a drain intended exclusively for
stormwater.
No person shall discharge sewage into a well.
It shall be unlawful to discharge to any natural outlet within
the municipality or in any area under the jurisdiction of said municipality
any wastewater or other polluted waters, except where suitable treatment
has been provided in accordance with subsequent provisions of this
chapter.
No property owner, builder or developer shall be issued a building
permit for a new dwelling or structure requiring sanitary facilities
unless a suitable and approved method of wastewater disposal, conforming
to this chapter, is available. All housing construction or building
development which takes place after this chapter is enacted shall
provide for an approved system of sanitary sewers.
[Amended 1-19-2021 by Res. No. 01-04-2021]
Except as hereinafter provided, it shall be unlawful to construct
or maintain any privy, privy vault, cesspool, septic tank or other
facility intended or used for disposal of wastewater.
A. If a property
contains a privy, outhouse, etc., not connected to the Village sewer,
the Village shall demand a plan to remedy the situation within 10
days. The Department of Health will be notified.
B. Failure
to comply will result in the property owner being cited by the Village
Code Enforcement Officer and issued an appearance ticket for court
and a fee or fine of no less than $500.
The owners of all houses, buildings or properties used for human
occupancy, employment, recreation or other purposes situated within
the Village and abutting on any street, alley or right-of-way in which
there is now located or may, in the future, be located a public sewer,
are hereby required, at the owners' expense, to install suitable sanitary
facilities therein, and to connect such facilities directly with the
proper public sewer, in accordance with the provisions of this chapter,
within 90 days after official notice to do so, provided that said
public sewer is within 100 feet (30.5 meters) of the property line.
The use of the public sewers shall be strictly limited and restricted, except as provided in §
110-14, to receive and accept the discharge of sewage and other wastes, including industrial wastes generated on or discharged from real property within the bounds of the service area of the POTW.
At the recommendation of the Superintendent, who determines
that one or more segments of the POTW is exceeding its hydraulic capacity
at any time; or any specific purpose of this chapter is being violated,
or, in the event the Village Board determines it to be necessary and
prudent, the Village Board shall have the authority to limit or deny
new connections to the POTW until the conditions leading to the moratorium
are corrected. Such correction may be by:
A. Construction of new facilities.
B. Enlarging existing facilities.
C. Correction of inflow and infiltration.
D. Cleaning and repairing of existing facilities.
All requirements, directives and orders calling for mandatory
use of the sewers, within the service area of the POTW, for the proper
discharge of sewage and other wastes, including industrial wastes,
shall be established and given by the Village Board, NYSDEC, USEPA
and/or other such state or federal agencies, which have enforcement
powers.
