The owners of all houses, buildings or properties used for human occupancy, employment, recreation or other purpose situated within the improvement boundaries are hereby required, at their expense, to install suitable plumbing facilities therein and to connect such facilities directly with the proper public sewer in accordance with the provisions of this chapter within 180 days after the date of official notice to do so, and any septic tanks, cesspools and similar private sewage disposal facilities shall be cleaned of sludge and liquid, abandoned and filled with suitable material within 90 days after connection to the public sanitary sewer of the improvement. Failure to properly abandon a private facility in the specified time frame shall be a violation of this section and subject to a fine of $10 per day for the first 30 days from notification of a violation and $25 per day thereafter until the violation is corrected.
Owners of premises upon which a commercial car wash is operated and the operators of any such car washes may, if the premises on which any such car washes are located have adequate and satisfactory sewerage facilities to dispose of the water used in the car wash, continue to use such sewerage facilities solely to dispose of the water used in actually washing vehicles, but must separate the plumbing facilities for that water from the plumbing facilities carrying all other forms of sewage and connect the latter plumbing facilities directly with the proper public sewer in accordance with all the provisions of this chapter. The owner and/or operator of any car wash continuing to use a private sewage system as aforesaid shall separate the pipes supplying water to the actual vehicle-washing operation from all water lines to the premises on which said car wash operations are located and shall, at his own cost, connect the pipes supplying water to the actual vehicle-washing operation to a separate water meter so that the quantity of water used in the actual car wash operation is separately metered and measured.
