Article III — INSTALLATION OF SEWAGE COLLECTION TANKS

Where percolation tests have shown that subsurface drainage is not practical, or where the leaching from subsurface disposal systems may drain into a water supply or cause a nuisance, the Director may permit the installation of sewage collection tanks.

Application for a permit to install a sewage collection tank shall be made in writing to the Director and shall be accompanied by a sketch showing the location and special design features of the proposed installation.

Any sewage collection tank for which a permit is issued shall be constructed of watertight concrete, shall have a capacity of not less than 1,500 gallons and may, in the discretion of the Director, be required to have a greater capacity, shall be emptied before it is filled to three-fourths of its capacity or in accordance with a schedule prescribed by the Director, and the drain through which the tank is emptied shall be located at least six inches above the water level of the lowest fixture which it serves.
