Where a public sanitary sewer is not available under the provisions of § 135-6, the building sewer shall be connected to a private sewage disposal system complying with the provisions established by the Albany County Department of Health.
Before commencement of construction of a private
sewage disposal system, the owner shall first obtain a written permit
from the Albany County Health Department. The permit shall be made
on a form furnished by the Albany County Department of Health and
shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications and other information
as are deemed necessary by the Albany County Health Department.
A permit for a private sewage disposal system
shall not become effective until the installation is completed to
the satisfaction of the Albany County Health Department. The applicant
shall notify the Albany County Health Department 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 Albany County Health Department.
The type, capacities, location and layout of
a private sewage disposal system shall comply with all recommendations
of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. No
septic tank or cesspool shall be permitted to discharge to any natural
outlet.
The owner shall operate and maintain the private
sewage disposal facilities in a sanitary manner at all times, at his
own expense and at no expense to the Village.
At such time as a public sewer becomes available to a property served by a private sewage disposal system, as provided in § 135-6, 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 cleaned of sludge and liquid, abandoned and filled with suitable material.
No statement contained in this article shall
be construed to interfere with any additional requirements that may
be imposed by the authority representative of the Albany County Department
of Health or the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
