No person shall construct or maintain any leaching cesspool or well into which the drainage from any privy vault, the effluent from any septic tank or any sewage or house waste is permitted to discharge and leach therefrom into the surrounding soil. However, in situations presenting unusual difficulty in sewage disposal, and where a sandy or gravel subsoil exists to sufficient depth to permit absorption of the contents of such cesspool, the Building Inspector may permit the construction and maintenance thereof, but no such permit shall be granted for any such cesspool located nearer than 500 feet to any place of human occupancy.
