No cesspool or privy vault shall hereafter be
constructed in the Borough.
Every owner, lessee or tenant of property which
is not within 100 feet of a public sewer system and which is not provided
with an existing cesspool or privy vault adequate to dispose of whatever
sewage may be produced on said premises shall, except if the Board
allows, within 30 days after an order or notice to do so has been
given to him by the Board or its agent, install a septic tank on said
property which shall be adequate in function and size and constructed
in conformity with the requirements contained and in accordance with
the ordinances, rules and regulations of this Board, and with those
standards established by the State of New Jersey (N.J.S.A. 58:11-23).
Every owner, lessee, or tenant of property which was heretofore not
situated along the line of a public sewer system must, within 90 days
of the installation of such a public sewer system, tie into said system,
and permanently disengage any private sewer facilities.
Within 10 days after any sewer connection is
established, all cesspools and all privy vaults in or upon the property
so connected shall be filled in with stones, earth, ashes, cinder
or other appropriate material.
A.
The owner, lessee or tenant of any property in or
on which there exists a cesspool or privy vault shall clean the same
and remove the contents therefrom within five days after being ordered
to do so by the Board or its agent.
B.
No privy vault or cesspool shall be cleaned or emptied
except by scavengers who, before performing such work, shall have
first obtained from the Board a license to engage in and carry on
the business of cleaning cesspools and privies.
(1)
Application for all scavenger's licenses shall be
made to the Board in writing, and shall set forth the number and type
of vehicles he proposes to employ in the Borough, the name and address
of applicant, the name and address where work is to be performed and
such other information as the Board may require. All apparatus, means,
appliances and vehicles to be used in said business shall be approved
by the Board of Health before being so used, and shall at all times
thereafter be subject to the inspection of the Board or its agents.
(2)
The license fee shall be the sum of $10 for each vehicle
used by licensee. Each license issued hereunder shall be valid from
January 1 to December 31 in each year, unless sooner suspended or
revoked. No license issued hereunder shall be assignable or transferable
from vehicle to vehicle by the licensee, without permission of the
Board in writing.
Any scavenger who shall commence to clean or
empty any cesspool or privy vault shall, without interruption or delay,
proceed with the work until it be completed and the contents of such
cesspool or privy vault are carried away and removed in airtight vessels;
provided, however, that such work shall be performed between the hours
of 11:00 p.m. in the evening and 4:00 a.m. in the morning and at no
other hours.
Every contractor or person in charge of any
construction or repair work in the Borough of East Rutherford shall
provide toilet accommodations for the persons employed in such construction
whenever it shall be deemed necessary by this Board. If connection
with the public sewer system is not practicable, then application
shall be made for a permit to install and maintain a temporary privy
vault in accordance with the rules and regulations adopted by this
Board. All temporary privy vaults must be built and maintained in
such a manner as shall be deemed necessary by this Board.
Any person who shall violate any of the provisions
of this article shall, in addition to all other penalties provided
herein, be subject to the penalties hereinafter set forth in this
code.
