150-5, the building sewer shall be connected to a private sewage disposal system complying with the provisions of this article.
[Amended 4-21-1997by L.L. No. 1-1997]
Before commencement of construction of a private sewage disposal system,
the owner shall first obtain a written permit signed by the Superintendent.
The application for such permit shall be made on a form furnished by the Village,
which the applicant shall supplement by any plans, specifications and other
information as are deemed necessary by the Superintendent.
A permit for a private sewage disposal system shall not become effective
until the installation is completed to the satisfaction of the Superintendent.
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 Superintendent
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 Superintendent.
The type, capacities, location and layout of a private sewage disposal
system shall comply with all recommendations of the Department of Public Health
of the State of New York. No permit shall be issued for any private sewage
disposal system employing subsurface soil absorption facilities where the
area of the lot is less than 500 square feet. 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 §
150-9, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer in compliance with this Part
1, and any septic tanks, cesspools and similar private sewage disposal facilities shall be abandoned and filled with suitable material.
The owner shall operate and maintain the private 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 Health Officer.
When a public sewer becomes available, the building shall be connected
to said sewer within 60 days, and the private sewage disposal system shall
be cleaned of sludge and filled with clean bank-run gravel or dirt.
