Title 18 : Water and Sewers
Chapter 3 : General Wastewater Regulations
18-304 : Proper waste disposal required.
- It shall be unlawful for any person to place, deposit, or permit to be deposited in any unsanitary manner on public or private property within the service area of the town, any human or animal excrement, garbage, or other objectionable waste.
- It shall be unlawful to discharge to any waters of the state within the service area of the town any sewage or other polluted waters, except where suitable treatment has been provided in accordance with provisions of this chapter or town or state regulations.
- Except as herein provided, it shall be unlawful to construct or maintain any privy, privy vault, cesspool, or other facility intended or used for the disposal of sewage.
- Except as provided in (6) below, the owner of all houses, buildings, or properties used for human occupancy, employment, recreation, or other purposes situated within the service area in which there is now located or may in the future be located a public sanitary sewer, is hereby required at his expense to install suitable toilet facilities therein, and to connect such facilities directly with the proper private or public sewer in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. Where public sewer is available property owners shall within sixty (60) days after date of official notice to do so, connect to the public sewer. Service is considered "available" when a public sewer main is located within one hundred feet (100') (thirty and one-half (30.5) meters) of the property line. Property owners who fail to connect to the town's sewer line within one hundred eighty (180) days from the available date of said sewer line shall be charged the normal sewer charge, based upon water usage, set forth by the town for said location each and every month thereafter until the property owner makes the proper connection. This provision shall not prohibit the town from enforcing any other penalties set forth in this section.
- Discharging into the sanitary sewer without permission of the town is strictly prohibited and is deemed "theft of service."
- Where a public sanitary sewer is not available under the provisions of (4) above, the building sewer shall be connected to a private sewage disposal system complying with the provisions of § 18-205.
- The owner of a manufacturing facility may discharge wastewater to the waters of the state provided that he obtains an NPDES permit and meets all requirements of the Federal Clean Water Act, the NPDES permit, and any other applicable local, state, or federal statutes and regulations.
- Users have a duty to comply with the provisions of this chapter in order for the town to fulfill the stated policy and purpose. Significant industrial users must comply with the provisions of this chapter and applicable state and federal rules according to the nature of the industrial discharge.
- The town may inspect the facilities, including service lines or building sewer, of any user to ascertain whether the purpose of this chapter is being met and all requirements are being complied with. Persons or occupants of premises where wastewater is created or discharged shall allow the town or its representative, with proper identification, ready access at all reasonable times to all parts of the premises for the purpose of inspection.
