(a) When a condition exists in any neighborhood and there is reason to believe that it is caused by the connection of the storm or roof water leaders of any building to a sanitary sewer, the Superintendent of Buildings shall order an inspection of such building by the Building Department for the purpose of determining if such a connection exists.
(b) If such an inspection shows that any storm or roof water leader is connected to a sanitary sewer, in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter or of the Building Code, then the Superintendent of Buildings shall notify the owner thereof, in writing, by delivering such notice to his residence, and give him not less than fifteen days in which to disconnect the same. If such owner is a nonresident of the City, such notice shall be sent to his last known address by registered mail.
(c) Any police officer, the Clerk of Council or his assistants may make service of the notice hereinabove provided and the fees therefor shall be the same as are allowed for the service and return of a summons in civil cases before a magistrate.
(d) If the owner fails to comply with such notice, the Superintendent of Buildings shall cause such storm or roof water leader to be disconnected from the sanitary sewer and may employ the necessary labor to carry out the provisions of this section. All expenses incurred shall be paid out of the Sewer Fund.
(e) Upon completion of such work, the Superintendent of Buildings shall advise the owner, in writing, of the amount of all costs incurred in connection therewith, as provided in this section. If such charges are not paid by the owner within ten days, then such charges, together with a proper description of the lot or land upon which the building is located, shall be transmitted to the County Auditor and shall be entered by the Auditor upon the tax duplicate of the County and be a lien upon such lot or land from and after the date of the entry to be collected as other taxes are collected and returned to the City with the General Fund.
(f) No person shall interfere with any duly authorized City employee or laborer while in the process of making the inspection provided for herein or while making any disconnection authorized herein.
