(1)
For new or substantially improved structures constructed under building permits issued prior to October 1, 2023, new conventional sanitary systems may be installed or existing systems may be utilized only if they conform to 10 NYCRR Appendix 75-A and the most current Nassau County Department of Health standards and were legally installed within the last 10 years.

§ 271-286 Conformance to required clearances and/or setbacks.

All new sanitary system installations constructed on or after the effective date of the enactment of this article shall be inspected and approved by the Building Inspector or Code Enforcement Official.
