(A) The Commission may prohibit installation of sewage disposal facilities requiring soil absorption systems where such systems will not function due to high ground water, flooding, or unsuitable soil characteristics. The Commission may require that the developer/owner note on the face of the plat and in any deed of conveyance that soil absorption fields are prohibited in designated areas.
(B) The Commission may prescribe adequate methods for waste disposal. If a sanitary sewer system is located on or near the proposed development, the Commission shall require the developer/owner to provide sewage facilities to connect to this system where practical, and shall prescribe the procedures to be followed by the developer/owner in connecting to the system.
(C) If town sanitary sewer is available within 100 feet of the subject property, the use of an existing septic tank may be continued until the privately owned sanitary sewer system ceases to be a functioning septic tank. No privately owned septic system may be installed after the date of sewer availability.
