The purpose of this chapter is to create within the Village a Waste Water Management District for the purpose of monitoring and administering a program to be created and managed to inspect, repair or otherwise rectify on-site septic systems and a pressure sewer system within the Village as may be necessary from time to time for the purpose of promoting public health, safety and welfare. It is deemed to be in the interests of public health, safety and welfare to eliminate any malfunctioning, defective, overloaded or improperly installed on-site septic systems within the Village and to provide for easements and necessary repairs and enforcement procedures in order to carry out this purpose. Nothing contained in this chapter shall prohibit a property owner from maintaining, repairing or installing an on-site septic system, also known as an on-site septic facility, provided that such an on-site septic system can meet all lawful requirements and is not in a court-ordered designated pollution area. The Village shall not require any such property owner to connect to the pressure sewer system.
