(A) If a connection is made to a private sewage system as permitted herein and a public sewer later comes within this distance, a connection shall be made to the public sewer and the connection to the private sewage facility shall be abandoned. It shall be a violation of this chapter not to make the connection required herein within 90 days after written notice to do so has been given to the owner by the city. The notice may be given by delivery or by certified mail to the owner's last known address.
(B) In the case where connection to a community sewer is not deemed feasible by the Board of Public Works and Safety, building, dwelling, or area sewers may connect to a private sewer served by a private treatment facility, if the following requirements are met.
(1) The sewer and treatment facility meets all of the Board's regulations and requirements.
(2) The sewer or treatment facility meets the requirements of all other federal, state, and local agencies.
(3) A permit for a private sewer and treatment system has been issued by the Board.
(4) The permit to use and operate the private facilities is valid only until a time as the community sewer is made available for connection or the Board deems that the connection to the community sewer shall be made.
(C) In cases where a person has in existence a private system of wastewater collection and treatment, the Board may issue a permit allowing the continuance of use of the system for a time specified by the Board. This permit would, for instance, apply to an industry which provides an adequate and we11-maintained wastewater collection and treatment system. However, the issuance of these permits shall not be relegated to industrial users alone.
