(A) In all districts, property owners of all structures and places where people live, work or assemble shall provide for the sanitary disposal of all sewage in accordance with the following requirements:
(1) Whenever the public sanitary sewer system is reasonably available (i.e. when the distance from the property in question to the nearest public sewer with available capacity does not exceed 300 feet for single family dwellings and 1,000 feet for commercial establishments or multi-family dwellings), all sewage shall be discharged into such system, whether or not a private sewer system is more convenient.
(2) Whenever the public sewer system is not reasonably available, a private sewer system (whether central or individual) shall be installed and used. All private sewer systems shall be designed, constructed, operated and maintained in conformity with the following requirements:
(a) Illinois Private Sewage Disposal Licensing Act (see ILCS Ch. 225, Act 225) as amended from time to time;
(b) Illinois Private Sewage Disposal Code No. 4.002, promulgated by the Director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, as amended from time to time;
(c) Pertinent, current regulations issued by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency; and
(d) Applicable city or local codes and ordinances, particularly the Pinckneyville, Illinois Subdivision Ordinance.
(3) A building permit shall not be issued until a private sewage permit has been issued by the Perry County Health Department.
(B) The Zoning Administrator shall not issue any initial certificates of zoning compliance unless, following consultation with technically qualified persons as necessary, he or she is satisfied that these requirements will be met. Furthermore, no final certificate shall be issued until all final qualifications are met.
