§ 250-5. Connections required; disconnection of private units.

Where a public sanitary sewer is accessible in a street, alley, easement or thoroughfare to a building or premises abutting thereon, the liquid wastes from any plumbing system in said building shall be discharged into the public sewer unless prohibited by some law of New York State, Westchester County or Town of North Castle ordinance or rules or regulations of a sewer district; provided, however, that in the case of a building which has never been connected to a public sanitary sewer this section shall become effective 60 days after a notice from the Director of Water and Sewer Operations, requiring such connection, has been mailed to the owner, addressed to the premises or to such other address as may be recorded on the books of the Town of North Castle. When the connection to the public sewer involves a discontinuance of an existing cesspool or similar type of local disposal unit, said unit shall be immediately disinfected in a manner conforming to Westchester County Board of Health regulations and under the direction and in the presence of the Director of Water and Sewer Operations. The pit or pits shall be covered over in a suitable and safe manner and, at the end of six months, shall be filled with coal ashes or clean earth and left safe in all respects. When existing plumbing work in a building is disconnected from a private disposal unit and connected to a public sewer, a house trap and fresh air inlet shall be provided; the house drain shall be replaced in part or entirely if found unsanitary; the direction of flow of the main house drain, together with the house sewer, shall not in any case have changes in direction aggregating greater than 90°.
