(A) At such time as a public sanitary sewer becomes available to a property serviced by a private wastewater disposal system, a direct connection shall be made to the public sanitary sewer within ten days in compliance with this chapter, and within 30 days any septic tanks, cesspools and similar private wastewater disposal systems shall be cleaned of sludge. The bottom shall be broken to permit drainage and the tank or pit filled with suitable material.
(B) For properties that are annexed into the city, the requirement to connect to the public sanitary sewer will be when the private wastewater disposal system fails. Annexed properties will not be permitted to repair private wastewater disposal systems unless a hardship exists pursuant to § 52.025(C).
