Where a public sanitary sewer is not available under the provisions of Article II, § 155-5, the building sewer shall be connected to a private sewage disposal system complying with the provisions of this Article.
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 and inspection fee, as set forth from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees,[2] shall be paid to the village at the time of the filing of the application.

A permit for a private sewage disposal system shall not become effective until the installation is completed to the satisfaction of the Superintendent. He/she shall be allowed to inspect the work at any stage 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.
A separate and independent building sewer shall be provided for every building, except that where one building stands at the rear of another on an interior lot and no private sewer is available or can be constructed to the rear building through an adjoining alley, court, yard or driveway, the building sewer from the front building may be extended to the rear building and the whole considered as one building sewer.
Old building sewers may be used in connection with new buildings only when they are found, on examination and test by the Superintendent, to meet all requirements of this Part 1.
The size, slope, alignment and materials of construction of a building sewer and the methods to be used in excavation, placing of the pipe, jointing, testing and backfilling the trench shall conform to the requirements of the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code or other applicable rules and regulations of Cuba Village. In the absence of code provisions or in amplification thereof, the materials and procedures shall be subject to the approval of the Superintendent, but in no event shall the internal diameter or the building sewer be less than four inches. The slope of such four-inch pipe shall not be less than one-fourth (1/4) inch per foot except where unusual circumstances establish a proven hardship, in the opinion of the Superintendent. All building sewers shall be laid to uniform grade and in straight alignment insofar as possible, and changes in direction shall be made only with properly curved pipe fittings. The depth of the sewer shall be sufficient to afford protection from frost. Building sewers shall be extra-heavy cast-iron soil pipe or PVC = ASTM D = 3034 (SDR 35) soil pipe and shall be surrounded by sand or select earth compacted to at least one foot above the pipe. All connections shall be made watertight.

In all buildings in which any building drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the public sewer, sanitary sewage carried by such building drain shall be lifted by an approved means and discharged to the building sewer.
No person shall make connection of roof downspouts, exterior foundation drains, areaway drains or other sources of surface runoff or groundwater to a building sewer or building drain which in turn is connected directly or indirectly to a public sanitary sewer.
The connection of the building sewer into the public sewer shall conform to the requirements of the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code or other applicable rules and regulations of Cuba Village. In absence of code provisions or in amplification thereof, cast-iron soil pipe shall be used for the building drain through the wall of any building and for at least five feet from the building to the connection to the building sewer.

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 York. 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 III, § 155-10, 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 Cuba Village.
No statement contained in this Article shall be construed to interfere with any additional requirements that may be imposed by the Health Officer having jurisdiction.
