The purpose of this Article is to provide a Parish regulatory vehicle to insure that owner/developers properly install, operate and maintain sewage and water facilities provided in residential, commercial and industrial developments. (Ord. No. 86-630, adopted 06/19/86)

STATE REFERENCE: LSA R.S. 33:4064.1 through 33:4064.6, Act No. 934 of the 1986 Louisiana State Legislature as approved July 10, 1986.

For the purpose of this Article, a central sewage facility shall be defined as either a publicly or privately owned system, that may consist of a collection system, or a portion thereof, pumping facility or facilities, and a means of final treatment and disposal, as well as any ancillary features which serves more than one dwelling unit or business.

For the purpose of this Article, a central water system shall be defined as either a public or privately owned system usually consisting of at least one of the following: a source; storage facility; pumping system; treatment process; or distribution system which insures the safe and adequate supply of potable water to more than one dwelling unit or business.

For the purpose of this Article, sewage shall be defined as the waste material and liquids carried off by sewers; and sewerage shall be defined as the removal and disposal of sewage and surface water. (Ord. No. 86-630, adopted 06/19/86)

The sewer and water facilities herein addressed shall comply with all of the provisions of the Louisiana State Department of Health and Human Resources, hereby referred to as (DHHR) or its successor agency. The Sanitary Code of the State of Louisiana, and the Department of Environmental Quality, hereby referred to as (DEQ) [or its successor agency], and the Water Quality Control Standards of the State of Louisiana. (Ord. No. 86-630, adopted 06/19/86)

The owner/developer shall be required to submit to the St. Tammany Parish Department of Public Works a complete set of plans and specifications along with the completed "Design Summary Package", as required by the Louisiana Department of Health and Human Resources, detailing the type of central sewage and water facilities to be installed. Such plans and specifications shall be certified by a registered professional engineer of the State of Louisiana. Also written acknowledgment from the appropriate governmental agency (DHHR) must be submitted to the Department of Public Works for St. Tammany Parish, insuring that the plans and specifications are being reviewed by DHHR, and that when necessary, the discharge permit from DEQ has been applied for. This must be done before prelimi­nary approval by the Parish or issuance of a Building Permit.

Before final approval by the Parish and/or an Occupancy Permit obtained, the plans and specifications must be approved by DHHR, the (draft) discharge permit obtained and the construction certified by a registered professional engineer as to its complete­ness, conformance to the plans and specifications on file, and present operational capacity. (Ord. No. 86-630, adopted 06/19/86)

The owner/developer must comply with the time limitations as provided by DHHR with respect to their approval, and those of DEQ concerning the discharge permit. (Ord. No. 86-630, adopted 06/19/86)

The owner/developer shall be responsible for the operation and maintenance (at his, her or their expense) of the central sewage and water facilities in full compliance with all the requirements of this Article and with Federal and State laws and regulations.

This may include hiring of the necessary certified operator, or a consultant that provides such a service, and adhering to the instructions and limits as laid out in the discharge permit. (Ord. No. 86-630, adopted 06/19/86)

The owner/developer of a project shall accept responsibility for the operation and maintenance of a central sewage and/or water facility and may transfer the ownership rights to another party if so desired. However, in any case, the owner/developer shall establish and submit to the Director of the St. Tammany Parish Department of Public Works, a "management declaration" which shall establish the responsibility of the owner/developer for the operation, maintenance and funding requirements for the central sewage and/or water facilities. The owner/developer must satisfy the concerns of the Parish and of DHHR that such management declaration is valid and solvent. (Ord. No. 86-630, adopted 06/19/86)

Once the sewage and/or water treatment facilities have been installed, the developer and/or owner shall contact the Parish Department of Public Works. An on-site inspection to insure that the system(s) have been installed, and are operable, will be initiated. If upon inspection, the Department of Public Works determines that such system(s) is not found to be built according to specifications, the owner/de­veloper shall be required to make the appropriate corrections at his or her expense and shall not be allowed to continue any further develop­mental activities until said corrections have been made and certified as being correct by the Department of Public Works. Subsequently, the Director of the Department of Public Works or the Parish Engineer shall establish an amount in the form of a warranty bond/letter of credit for a period of not less than 1 year in order to insure the adequate operation and maintenance of the system(s). The Director shall submit his bond recommendation for approval to the Parish Police Jury.

All warranty bonds/letters of credit shall be obtained by the owner/developer from an accredited financial institution recognized in good standing by the Parish of St. Tammany. The release of warranty bonds/letters of credit shall follow established Parish procedures. (Ord. No. 86-630, adopted 06/19/86)

It shall be required of property owners and developers in subdivisions or communities with existing, pending or anticipated central sewerage and/or water facility projects to notify potential buyers, in writing, prior to the execution of any act of sale, of the existing, pending or anticipated project and any additional costs for which the buyer may be responsible for tying into the new system(s) and/or decommissioning the existing sewerage and water system on the property.

The responsible person for the property upon which the inspection is conducted, by reason of his/her/its operation of the sewerage system to be inspected, implicitly consents to the entrance of the said authorized employee or agent upon the property, and same shall not be deemed a trespass.

A. All new or existing premises, public or private, where people live, work, or congregate shall be provided with approved toilet facilities, including hand washing facilities. Such plumbing facilities shall be properly connected to a community sewerage system, whenever available, or to an individual on-site sewage disposal system which is specifically approved for the premises by the State Health Officer or his duly authorized representative after determining that the installation and operation of an individual on-site sewage disposal system will not create a nuisance or public health hazard. It shall be the duty of the owner, manager or agent of any occupied premises, public or private, where people live, work or congregate to provide the premises with an approved method of sewage disposal in compliance with the requirements of this Article.

B. (1) Whenever the DES determines that any building or structure to be constructed is in proximity to the sewage collection or treatment facility of a qualified community sewerage system, said building or structure shall be required to connect thereto. When a qualified community sewerage system is available, and there is an approved public water supply with adequate water capacity, all plumbing fixtures within any building or structure shall be connected to such approved public water supply and community sewerage system.

(2) For the purposes of this Section, a “qualified community sewerage system” is a community sewerage system: 1) which has the actual and/or anticipated capacity which will be required to realize the peak sewage demand of the subject building or structure, and 2) the operation and maintenance of which is likely to be in accordance and compliance with all regulatory requirements; all as determined by the DES.

(3) The DES, at the time of its consideration of the issuance of the building permit for the subject building or structure, may waive the requirement in Subsection B(1) upon the showing by the applicant that the implementation of the provisions of said Subsection would prove to be a manifestly unreasonable financial hardship. In no event, however, shall a Certificate of Occupancy be issued or shall any other such final action on the subject building permit occur unless and until an individual on-site sewage disposal system has been specifically approved for the premises by the State Health Officer, or his duly authorized representative.

C. Existing mobile homes and permanent buildings or structures will be exempt from the requirements of this Section for the period of time that the present owner or occupant of the property inhabits the premises.

In conducting an inspection of a sewerage system, the DES shall conform to the relevant and appropriate practices and procedures of the DEQ and the DHH as such practices and procedures relate respectively to the inspection of said sewerage systems.

A. Except for existing mobile homes and permanent building or structures exempt from the requirements of this Article outlined in Section 21-403.00(C), no sewerage system shall be used or placed in operation without approval in the form of a sewerage system permit issued by the State Health Officer or his duly authorized representative. For the purposes of this Article, a new sewerage system permit shall be required upon the initial installation of an individual on-site sewage disposal system. Each time the occupancy, connection or transfer of electrical power service changes, an inspection of the individual on-site sewage disposal system and the issuance of a sewerage system inspection permit by the DES shall be required.

B. For the purpose of convenience, the landlord, owner, manager or agent, may acquire for the period of one year on rental property, an approved sewerage system permit.

The electrical power company shall provide for termination of unauthorized electrical service within 48 hours of receiving notification from the DES. If no or insufficient action is taken after proper notification, the DES shall take any and all steps which it is empowered to take pursuant to La. R.S. 33:4064.1, et. seq., and the St. Tammany Parish Code of Ordinances in order to require compliance with this Article.

A. All persons who own or operate apartment complexes of four or more units and mobile home parks with four or more units shall be required to obtain a sewerage system permit from the State Health Officer or his duly authorized representative verifying that the sewage treatment plant associated with the complex or mobile home park is an approved system and in compliance with all applicable provisions of the State Sanitary Code.

B. All owners or operators of complexes or mobile home parks as defined in this Section shall apply to the St. Tammany Parish Health Unit for a sewerage system permit.
