[Adopted 5-22-1984; amended in its entirety 10-13-1999,
effective 10-29-1999]
A.
Every owner, occupant or agent of premises in which there
is any private sewer, drain, privy-vault, or cesspool shall keep the same
in a sanitary condition and shall have every privy-vault and cesspool emptied
and cleaned when necessary or at such times as ordered by the Board of Health.
No privy-vault or cesspool shall be emptied except by such parties and in
such manner as shall be especially authorized by the Board of Health.
B.
No septic system additives, mechanical methods, or other
nontraditional means shall be employed by the property owner or his/her representative
for the repair, maintenance, or regeneration of a subsurface disposal system
unless such means have been approved in writing by Massachusetts D.E.P. and
the Georgetown Board of Health.
If the owner or occupant fails to comply with such order, the Board
may cause the nuisance, source of filth or cause of sickness to be removed.
The person who caused or permitted the same, if he has had actual notice from
the Board of Health of the existence thereof, shall pay all expenses incurred
thereby. (Note: 310 CMR 15.16 of the State Environmental Code, Title 5, deals
with the above.)
