A. Public Sewer Availability: The Enforcement Officer shall refuse to grant a permit for an individual sewage disposal system where a public sewer is legally available. A sewer shall be deemed available when the improvement to be served is located within a reasonable distance of an approved point of connection and the connection is permitted by the Village. For example, a public sewer constructed and financed by a Village special service area is legally available only if the property in question is within the limits of such special service area. A reasonable distance shall be two hundred fifty feet (250') from a single-family residence property or a commercial establishment of less than one thousand five hundred (1,500) gallons per day, and one thousand feet (1,000') from a commercial establishment over one thousand five hundred (1,500) gallons per day, a multi-family dwelling, or a new subdivision.
B. Water Conserving Plumbing Fixtures: Any dwelling or establishment proposed to be serviced by an individual sewage disposal system shall utilize water conserving plumbing fixtures, including, but not limited to, low flush volume toilets (1.6 gallons per flush) and flow restricting (2.5 gallons or less per minute) faucets and showerheads. Whenever whirlpool tubs, spas, etc., with a capacity exceeding sixty (60) gallons are proposed, the projected daily flow of the wastewater system shall be increased by that capacity.
C. Property Boundaries: Individual sewage systems shall not be located outside of the property boundaries of the serviced dwelling or establishment, nor serve more than one dwelling or structure unless approved as a nonconforming system in accordance with Section 12-5-5 of this Title.
