34 Pa. Code § 41.61 - Permissible installations
(a)
Location in general. Privies shall only be permitted on
premises where there is neither a lawful sewer accessible to the premises nor
is such obtainable by construction at reasonable public or private expense.
Further, only privies shall be permitted where it is deemed practicable to
construct and maintain the privy without any danger of contaminating a source
of drinking water.
(b)
Proximity to drinking water. In cases where a privy is located
on pervious soil and where there is a possibility that the percolation from the
privy might endanger a source of drinking water, the privy shall be provided
either with cans or with a tight concrete vault to receive the excreta. In
cases where a privy is located on impervious soil or on pervious soil where
there is no danger of contamination of any source of drinking water, a pit may
be used to receive the excreta, if the pit is sufficiently lined to prevent
caving-in of the sides.
