PRIVATE SEWAGE
|
| Wherever possible, sewage should be collected in community sewers
connected to a central treatment plant. However, in most rural areas
and in many suburban residential areas community sewers are not available.
In that case, individual household sewage disposal systems are installed
for the disposal of household wastes. A household sewage disposal system will serve a home satisfactorily only if it is properly located, designed, constructed and maintained. There are several variations of the basic septic system design in use today. The septic systems are individually designed and/or adapted for a specific site. An individual private septic system contists of two main components, septic tank and leachfield or drainfield. The Chautauqua County Health Department regulates the private sewage system program. The inspectors oversee the design and installation of the septic system to ensure that is has been installed to meet standards outlined in Article IV of the Sanitary Code of the Chautauqua County Health District. and New York State Code Part 75. The private sewage system application packet is degined to guide the homeowners through the process of requesting a septic system permit and selecting a sewage contractor. The application packet may be downloaded by clicking on the link below. |
