Sodus, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 83-24
Sewage disposal
Operative Text
A. Where available, connection to a public sewage disposal system shall be made. In locations where a public sewage disposal system is not available, a private system shall be established. B. Where a connection to a public sewage disposal system is made, all materials used and workmanship shall be subject to inspection and approval of the enforcement officer or other designated local official. C. For the establishment of a private sewage disposal system, the design and construction of all components of such system shall be subject to the inspection and approval of the Town Engineer.
Section 83-24 of Sodus, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 83 establishes requirements for sewage disposal at residential properties. Where a public sewage system is accessible, properties must connect to it; where no public system exists, a private disposal system must be installed instead. All connections to public systems are subject to inspection and approval by the enforcement officer or another designated local official, while private systems must be reviewed and approved by the Town Engineer.

Under Sodus Code § 83-24, compliant property operators ensure that any dwelling unit is connected to the public sewage disposal system whenever one is available in the area. When no public connection is possible, operators arrange for the design and construction of a private sewage disposal system that meets the Town Engineer's inspection and approval requirements. Keeping records of approvals and inspection sign-offs for both types of connections is a practice commonly associated with maintaining compliance under this section.

Section 83-24 of the Sodus Code of Ordinances gives tenants a basis to expect that their rental unit is served by an approved sewage disposal system—either a public connection inspected by the enforcement officer or a private system approved by the Town Engineer. If a unit lacks any compliant sewage disposal arrangement, that condition may constitute a housing code violation that can be raised with local code enforcement authorities. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what documentation of approval should exist and what general options are available when a sewage disposal deficiency is identified.
