The City may conduct periodic inspections of properties to confirm there are not direct or indirect connections of the footing drain to the sanitary sewer system. If during an inspection the City determines there is a direct or indirect connection as a result of a modification of the system to allow for a direct or indirect connection, failure to maintain or replace a failed sump pump that would allow an indirect or direct connection to the sanitary sewer system, or such other cause as may allow a direct or indirect connection, the City shall provide the property owner a written notice. The property owner shall be provided thirty (30) days to cure the defect and to arrange for re-inspection by the City. If at the end of thirty (30) days the direct or indirect connection has not been inspected and determined to have been removed, the property owner shall be subject to the non-compliance fee provisions under this Chapter. The payment shall continue until such time as the City determines through inspection the direct or indirect footing drain connection no longer exists.
