The sewage disposal facilities shall not be used until the Sewage Officer or his authorized agent has issued an Occupancy Permit. This Occupancy Permit shall not be issued until the Sewage Officer has received and reviewed the final inspection report of the designer as being in compliance with this ordinance including any variations from the approved design. Existing dwellings which require a replacement system may be occupied provided a certificate of occupancy is obtained within a reasonable period of time from commencement of installation of the system. In such cases, the approval of the Sewage Officer or his authorized agent shall be contingent on certification of such engineer or technician that the plans are in compliance with this ordinance. Conditions of construction or use may be placed on the Disposal System Construction Permit or the Certificate of Occupancy.
All permits run with the land and are binding upon each and subsequent owners.
At the discretion of the Sewage Officer all permits issued under this ordinance, or those permits with conditions of use issued pursuant to this ordinance, may be filed in the town land records. Easements to allow ingress and egress for the construction, maintenance and repair of off-lot sewage disposal systems must be conveyed to the permittee and recorded in the land records of both the conveyer and the permittee prior to issuance of a construction permit. Privies, outhouses and similar facilities with properly sealed vaults may be used in seasonal dwellings which will not have plumbing and which shall have no running water at any time, provided they meet the isolation distances established in Chapter 5, subchapter 10, Appendix A for disposal fields. The Sewage Officer shall determine if proper isolation distances are maintained. A minor permit shall be obtained prior to contracting for, or installation of, vault privies, outhouses, or similar facilities.
