The sanitary sewer system shall be combined
with the Water Utility for purposes of administration and shall be
administered by the officials who manage the Water Utility.
A.
Notice to connect. Whenever sewer and water become
available to any building used for human habitation, the Health Officer
shall notify, in writing, the owner, agent or occupant thereof to
connect all facilities thereto required by the Health Officer. If
such person to whom the notice has been given shall fail to comply
for more than 10 days after the notice, the Health Officer shall cause
the necessary connections to be made, and the expense thereof shall
be assessed as a special tax against the property pursuant to W.S.A.
s. 281.45.[1]
B.
Abatement of privies and cesspools. After connection
to a water main and public sewer, a privy, privy vault or cesspool
shall not be constructed or maintained upon such lot or parcel and
shall be abated upon 10 days' written notice for such abatement by
the Health Officer. If not so abated, the Health Officer shall cause
the same to be done and the cost thereof assessed as a special tax
against the property.
C.
The Health Officer may extend the time for connection
hereunder or may grant other temporary relief where strict enforcement
would work an unnecessary hardship without corresponding public or
private benefit.
D.
Where sewer mains are not available, chemical toilets
shall be used. No surface privy, cesspool or dry closet shall be constructed
or maintained on any lot or parcel without a permit granted by the
Health Officer.
Except as otherwise provided, any person who shall violate any provision of this chapter or any order, rule or regulation made hereunder shall be subject to a penalty as provided in § 1-19 of this Code.
