(A) Where a public sanitary or combined sewer is not available under the provisions of § 50.02(D), the building sewer shall be connected to a private wastewater disposal system complying with the provisions of this section.
(B) Before commencement of construction of a private wastewater disposal system the owner(s) shall first obtain a written permit signed by the superintendent. The application for such permit shall be made on a form furnished by the Sewage Works, which the applicant shall supplement with any plans, specifications, and other information as are deemed necessary by the superintendent. A permit and inspection fee of $100 shall be paid to the Sewage Works at the time the application is filed.
(C) A permit for a private wastewater disposal system shall not become effective until the installation is completed to the satisfaction of the Superintendent. The Superintendent shall be allowed to inspect the work at any stage of construction, and, in any event, the applicant for the permit shall notify the Superintendent when the work is ready for final inspection, and before any underground portions are covered. The inspection shall be made within 120 hours of the receipt of notice by the Superintendent.
(D) The type, capacities, location, and layout of a private wastewater disposal system shall comply with all provisions of the State of Indiana. No septic tank or cesspool shall be permitted to discharge to any natural outlet directly or indirectly via field tile, storm drain or any other conveyance other than a public sanitary sewer.
(E) At such time as a public sewer becomes available to a property served by a private wastewater disposal system, as provided in § 50.02(D), a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer within 90 days in compliance with this chapter. At such time, the private wastewater disposal system shall be abandoned, which in the case of aseptic system means that the septic tank must be disconnected from the building sewer and rendered inoperable by being filled with sand.
(F) No statement contained in this section shall be construed to interfere with any additional requirements that may be imposed by the town.
