(A) The owners of all houses, buildings or properties situated within the city and abutting upon any street, alley or other easement or right-of-way in which there is now located or may in the future be located, a public sanitary sewer, shall be required at their expense, to install suitable toilet facilities therein, and shall be requested to connect such facilities to the sewer. If said public sewer is within 300 feet of the closest property line and is of suitable size to handle the volume of sewage to be added, official notice will be given to the property owner informing him or her that the sewer is available and requesting that his or her connection be made within 180 days following notification.

(B) In the event the property owner shall fail to connect to the sewer and a health problem is created, the Health Officer of the city shall send a second notice to the property owner requiring that connection be made to the sewer. Within 15 days of receipt of the second notice, the property owner shall connect to the sewer.
