(a)
					 Application. The rules and regulations hereinafter given, duly made and enacted
					 in accordance with the provisions of sections 70, 71 and 73 of chapter 45 of
					 the Consolidated Laws (the Public Health Law) as heretofore set forth shall
					 apply to the Pathfinder Spring and to all the natural and artificial reservoirs
					 used for the collection or storage of the flow from the Pathfinder Spring,
					 which are tributary to or which serve as sources of the public water supply of
					 the Village of Churchville, Monroe County, or to any additional reservoir which
					 may be constructed or used for the purpose of this public water
					 supply.
(b) Interpretation.
					 Wherever a linear distance of a structure or object from the spring or from a
					 reservoir is mentioned in this section, it is intended to mean the shortest
					 horizontal distance from the nearest point of the structure or object to spring
					 or reservoir.
(c) Privies adjacent
					 to any reservoir or spring.
(1) No privy,
					 privy vault, pit, cesspool or any other receptacle of any kind used for either
					 the temporary storage or the permanent deposit of human excreta shall be
					 constructed, placed, maintained or allowed to remain within 100 feet of any
					 reservoir or within 200 feet of any spring tributary to the public water supply
					 of the Village of Churchville.
(2)
					 No privy, privy vault, pit, cesspool or other receptacle used for the permanent
					 deposit of human excreta shall be constructed, 1ocated, placed, maintained or
					 allowed to remain within 150 feet of any reservoir or within 300 feet of any
					 spring tributary to the public water supply of the Village of
					 Churchville.
(3) Every privy, privy
					 vault, pit or other receptacle of any kind or place, used for the temporary
					 storage of human excreta, located between the limiting distances prescribed by
					 paragraph (1) of this subdivision and the limiting distance prescribed by
					 paragraph (2) of this subdivision, shall be arranged in such a manner that all
					 such excreta shall be received in suitable watertight receptacles which shall
					 at all times be disposed of as hereinafter set forth in paragraphs (4) and (5)
					 of this subdivision.
(4) The
					 excreta collected in the aforesaid watertight receptacles permitted under
					 paragraph (3) of this subdivision shall be removed and the receptacles
					 thoroughly cleansed and deodorized as often as may be found necessary to
					 maintain these receptacles or the privy or the place in which they are kept in
					 a proper, sanitary condition and to effectually prevent any overflow upon the
					 soil or upon foundation or floor of the privy or other place. In effecting this
					 removal the utmost care shall be exercised that none of the contents be allowed
					 to escape in being transferred from the privy or place of temporary storage to
					 the place of disposal hereinafter specified and that the contents, while being
					 transferred, shall be thoroughly covered and that the least possible annoyance
					 and inconvenience be caused to the occupants of the premises and the adjacent
					 premises.
(5) Unless otherwise
					 specifically ordered or permitted in writing by the State Commissioner of
					 Health, the excreta collected in the aforesaid watertight receptacles permitted
					 under paragraph (3) of this subdivision shall, when removed, be disposed of by
					 burying in trenches or pits at a depth not less than 18 inches below the
					 surface, in such place and manner as to effectually prevent the excreta being
					 washed over the surface of the ground by rain or melting snow and at a distance
					 of not less than 500 feet from any reservoir or spring tributary to the public
					 water supply of the Village of Churchville.
(6) Whenever, owing to the character of the
					 soil or of the surface of the ground or owing to the height or flow of subsoil
					 or surface water or other special local conditions, it is considered by the
					 State Commissioner of Health that excremental matter from any privy or
					 aforesaid receptacle or from any trench or place of disposal or the garbage or
					 wastes from any dump may be washed over the surface or through the soil in an
					 imperfectly purified condition into the reservoir or spring tributary to the
					 public water supply of the Village of Churchville, then the said privy or
					 receptacle for excreta or the trench or place of disposal or the said garbage
					 or waste dump shall, after due notice to the owner thereof, be removed to such
					 greater distance or to such place as shall be considered safe and proper by the
					 State Commissioner of Health.
