(A) Where a public sanitary or combined sewer is not available under the provision of § 55.24(B)(4), 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 Clerk-Treasurer, which the applicant shall supplement by any plans, specifications, and other information as are deemed necessary by the Superintendent. A permit and inspection fee in an amount to be determined from time to time by the Town Council shall be paid to the Clerk-Treasurer 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.

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 division (D) above, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer within 90 days in compliance with this subchapter, and any septic tanks, cesspools and similar private wastewater disposal facilities shall be cleaned of sludge, and if not used as a component of the building sewer, filled with suitable material.
(F) The owner(s) shall operate and maintain the private wastewater disposal facilities in a sanitary manner at all times, at no expense to the town or its sewage works.
(G) No statement contained in this section shall be construed to interfere with any additional requirements that may be imposed by the town.
