(A) Where a public sanitary or combined sewer is not available under the provisions of § 52.03(G), the building sewer shall be connected to a private sewage disposal system which complies with rules and regulations adopted by the federal government, the state, the county executive, and the County Board of Health.
(B) Before commencement of construction of a private sewage disposal system, the owner shall first obtain a written permit signed by the Superintendent. The application for such permit shall be made on a form furnished by the town, which the applicant shall supplement by any plans, specifications, and other information as are deemed necessary by the Superintendent. A permit and inspection fee of $25 shall be paid to the town at the time of application is filed.
(C) A permit for a private sewage disposal system shall not become effective until the installation is completed to the satisfaction of the Superintendent. He or she 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 24 hours of the receipt of the notice by the Superintendent.
(D) The type, capacities, location, and layout of a private sewage disposal system shall comply with all recommendations of the state’s Board of Health. No permit shall be issued for any private sewage disposal system employing subsurface soil absorption facilities where the area of the lot is less than 20,000 square feet. No septic tank or cesspool shall be permitted to discharge to any natural outlet.
(E) The owner shall operate and maintain the private sewage disposal facilities in a sanitary manner at all times, at no expense to the town.
(F) No statement contained in this subchapter shall be construed to interfere with any additional requirements that may be imposed by the Health Officer.
