Where a public sewer is not available, under the provisions of § 206-9, the building lateral shall be connected to a private wastewater disposal system complying with the provisions of the rules and regulations of the NYSDOH, Madison County Health Department, and this chapter, regulating on-site waste disposal systems.
At such time that a public sewer becomes available to a property, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer, in compliance with this chapter, and any cesspool, septic tank and similar wastewater disposal facilities shall be cleaned of septage, by a licensed septage hauler, and finally either filled with clean sand, bank-run gravel or dirt, or removed and properly disposed of. When the connection is made to the public sewer, the connection to the private wastewater disposal facility shall be broken and both ends of the break shall be plugged, as appropriate.
Where a direct connection to a public sewer is made pursuant to § 206-14, subject to the approval of the NYSDOH, Madison County Health Department and the Superintendent and following inspection by the Superintendent, connection of a sump pump and/or house drain may be made to an appropriately prepared septic tank or similar wastewater disposal facility to serve as a groundwater distribution system. Any owner wishing to connect a sump pump and/or house drain to an appropriately prepared septic tank or similar wastewater disposal facility consistent with this section shall submit an application for approval to the Superintendent accompanied by an inspection fee set from time to time by the Superintendent. Connections made pursuant to this section shall be subject to periodic inspection by the Superintendent at his discretion. Any water, groundwater, stormwater or otherwise which accumulates in a septic tank or similar wastewater disposal facility pursuant to this section shall be disposed of in accordance with applicable law.
No statement in this article shall be construed to prevent, or interfere with, any additional requirements that may be deemed necessary by the Superintendent to protect public health and public welfare.
