Sec. 21-48. - Special sewage disposal provisions.

(a)

The purposes of this section are to insure that in special treatment areas there will be adequate and sanitary methods provided for the disposal of sewage which will not pollute water supplies, bathing and swimming areas, permit sewage to come onto the surface of the land, create erosion or earth subsidence or slippage problems and generally prevent other hazards to health and safety.

(b)

In order to protect lift stations, manholes and other appurtenances of community sewer systems from flooding, land movement and other possible sources of damages, locations and protective measures may be prescribed. In order to insure adequate operation, the type and method of operation of lift stations may be prescribed. Such conditions may be in addition to those required by other governmental agencies.

(c)

The use of individual sewage disposal systems may be limited to prohibit where pollution of the underground water table will endanger supplies of domestic water, where seepage of water into unstable or potentially unstable soil or rock formations is likely to cause earth movements dangerous to life or property, and in other cases where a danger to life, limb or health may result from use of individual sewage disposal systems.
