Type, capacities, location, and layout of a private sewage disposal system shall comply with all ordinances of the city of Lynnwood and Washington State Department of Health Bulletin, E.S. No. 1, and Snohomish County health district. Field tests and a site survey shall be made before any permit is issued for any private sewage disposal system. No permit shall be issued for any private sewage disposal system employing subsurface soil absorption facilities where the area of the lot will not allow complete absorption of such septic tank effluent as may reasonably be expected from the uses permitted by applicable zoning restriction and from the proposed uses of the property. No septic tank or cesspool shall be permitted to discharge to any public sewer or natural outlet, nor shall it be located less than 10 feet from the property line of the lot it serves.
