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 discharge sewage into a well.
No person shall connect a private sewage system so that sewage flows into a storm drain intended exclusively for stormwater.
It shall be unlawful to discharge to any natural outlet or in any area within the bounds of the Pine Hill Service Area any wastewater or other polluted waters, except where suitable treatment has been provided in accordance with subsequent provisions of this chapter or otherwise authorized under law.
Except as hereinafter provided, within the bounds of the Pine Hill Service Area, 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.
It shall be unlawful to discharge any stormwater (including from within or outside of a private residence or other structures) into the Pine Hill WWTP's sewer system.

No property owner, builder, or developer shall be issued a building permit for a new, modified, or expansion of existing dwelling or structure requiring additional sanitary facilities unless a suitable, legal and approved method of wastewater disposal 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 or other approved system for wastewater treatment.
A. 
Connection to public sewer required within Pine Hill Sewer Service Area. Unless specifically exempted by a resolution of the Town Board and approved by NYCDEP (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), the owner(s) of all houses, buildings, or properties used for human occupancy, employment, recreation, or other purposes, and abutting on any street, alley, or right-of-way under which there is located a public sewer, shall connect such structures directly with the proper public sewer, subject to NYCDEP approval, in accordance with § 102-32, within 90 days after the Building Inspector provides notice to do so, provided that the structure is within the Pine Hill Sewer Service Area and within 100 feet from that portion of the road where the sewer is located and there is adequate capacity of the POTW to treat the added wastewater flows at the Pine Hill WWTP, except as otherwise provided in § 102-17B of this chapter. In the event there is inadequate capacity at the POTW to handle additional flows, the property owner(s) may apply for construction of an on-site septic system or such other form of legal sewer service pursuant to applicable law, including the NYC Watershed Rules and Regulations.
B. 
Connections required pursuant to Sewer Extension Program Agreement. Each residence or structure with indoor plumbing, erected prior to the start of construction of sewer mains pursuant to the agreement shall be connected to such sewer main if the property is adjacent to that portion of the road under which said sewer main has been constructed, or said residence or structure is situated on a landlocked parcel that is benefited by a right-of-way across property adjacent to such a road or where such sewer main passes through the property, provided that the residence or structure is no more than 250 feet from the center line of the road under which the sewer main is located. Each such owner shall connect such residence or structure to the new laterals constructed by New York City under the agreement within 90 days of receipt of notice from the Town's Building Inspector notifying them that the new sewer main and lateral to their residence or structure are fully operational. Such notice shall not be issued by the Town without receipt of NYCDEP's written authorization.
C. 
Disconnection required. Once the residence or structure has been connected to the new sewer main, any cesspool, septic tank or similar wastewater disposal facility, the "facilities," that served such residence or structure shall be disconnected. Septage from the facilities shall be removed by a licensed septage hauler, and the facilities shall either be filled with clean sand, bank-run gravel or dirt, or removed and disposed of in accordance with applicable state and federal law.
The use of public sewers shall be strictly limited and restricted, except as provided in § 102-17 above, 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 Pine Hill Sewer Service Area of the Pine Hill WWTP's sewer system.
A. 
The NYCDEP (with the consent of the Town Board where required by the Village Agreement and/or Sewer Extension Program Agreement) shall have the authority to accept sewage and other wastes, including industrial wastes, generated by or discharged from persons outside the Pine Hill Sewer Service Area. The prior written approval of the NYCDEP shall be required before any such sewage or waste is so accepted.
B. 
If the Pine Hill WWTP accepts wastewater from a private individual under this section, the acceptance shall be made only upon the granting of a permit by the NYCDEP that sets forth the terms and conditions of such acceptance.
A. 
If the NYCDEP determines that one or more segments of the POTW are exceeding the capacity of the POTW at any time and/or any specific purpose of this chapter as set forth in § 102-3 is being violated, it shall have the authority to limit or deny new connections to the POTW until the conditions leading to the moratorium are corrected. Such correction(s) may be, but are not limited to:
(1) 
Correction of inflow and infiltration; and
(2) 
Cleaning and repairing of existing facilities.
B. 
In cases where a property owner is denied a permit to install a lateral to a new structure due to a moratorium under this section, the property owner(s) may apply for construction of an on-site septic system or other form of legal sewage disposal pursuant to applicable law, including the NYC Watershed Rules and Regulations.
C. 
Nothing in this section increases or decreases the City's obligation to implement such correction under applicable law.
All requirements, directives, and orders calling for mandatory use of the sewers within the Pine Hill Sewer Service Area for the proper discharge of sewage and other wastes, including industrial wastes, shall be established and given by the Town, in consultation with NYCDEP as appropriate.
At such time that a new sewer becomes available to a property with a structure (with plumbing) located within 100 feet from that portion of the road where such sewer main is located, a direct connection to the sewer shall be required, pursuant to § 102-17A of this chapter, subject to NYCDEP review and approval, unless exempted pursuant to § 102-17A.
