Where a public sanitary or combined sewer is not available under the provisions of § 45-5, 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 of $5 shall be paid to the village at the time the application is filed.
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 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 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 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 § 45-9, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer in compliance with this ordinance, 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 sewer 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.
Parties wishing to connect with the village sewer mains, living within the corporation limits of Malone Village, shall pay the sum of $50 for tapping onto said village sewer mains. The village in such cases will make the tap and extend the service line to the curb line on the owner's side of the street.
