[Adopted 9-1-1972 as Ch. 35, Art. III, of the 1972 Code]
The health officer shall prescribe minimum sanitation specifications for equipment and disposal areas used by persons cleaning and servicing privy vaults, septic tanks, unsewered privies, pit privies and similar receptacles, which specifications shall not in any event be less than the standards of sanitation as set forth by applicable health laws of the state or the ordinances of the City.
The health officer or his duly authorized representative shall have the right to inspect all equipment, trucks and disposal areas covered by the specifications provided for in § 334-31, at any reasonable hour.
All equipment and trucks used in the business for which a license is required by § 334-36 shall have painted on the tank thereof the name of the licensee and the license number of the licensee, in a color easily discernible and in letters not less than two inches in height.
A. 
Material removed from septic tanks, except septic tanks servicing a produce house or packing plant, shall be disposed of at a manhole to be designated by the superintendent of the sewage treatment plant.
B. 
Material removed from pit privies, privy vaults, unsewered privies and similar receptacles, and from septic tanks serving a produce house or packing plant, shall not be dumped into the manhole provided for in Subsection A, but shall be disposed of by dumping the same into a hole or trench dug for this purpose and shall be immediately covered with not less than 24 inches of dirt. A person desiring to so dispose of such material shall first designate the location of disposal to the health officer and obtain the approval of such location by the health officer, whether such place of disposal is located within or without the City limits. Failure of any disposal area to meet the specifications prescribed in accord with this article shall be grounds for immediate disapproval of the further use of such area.
All material disposed of in accord with § 334-34 shall be disposed of only during daylight hours, whether it be dumped into a designated manhole or any other disposal location.
No person shall engage in the business of cleaning and servicing privy vaults, septic tanks, unsewered privies, pit privies or similar receptacles in the City unless he has a current annual license to do so issued by the City Clerk.
No license required by this article shall be issued until the applicant has first filed with the health officer a description of the equipment owned or operated by him and to be used in the conduct of his business. The health officer or his duly authorized representative shall inspect such equipment, and if it meets the standards of sanitation required by this article, the health officer shall authorize the issuance of a license to the applicant and certify the same to the City Clerk.[1]
