[Amended 4-23-2002]
The Water Pollution Control Authority, in accordance with the
requirements of § 7-256 of the General Statutes, may order
the owner of any building to which a sewerage system is available
to connect such building to the sewerage system.
It shall be unlawful for any person to construct or repair any
privy, privy vault, septic tank, leaching fields, cesspool, package
treatment plant, community sewerage system or any other facility intended
for the disposal of sewage if public sewers and public sewer treatment
capacity are available. The Water Pollution Control Authority, however,
shall have the sole authority to determine whether public sewers and
public sewer treatment capacity are available with respect to any
property for which a sewer connection or sewer discharge is proposed.
