SEWER DEPARTMENT; GENERALLY
The city owns and operates the city sewer system through the Director of Public Works. The City Council, for the purpose of defraying the cost of the management and maintenance of the city sewer system may each year levy a tax not exceeding the maximum limit prescribed by state law on the actual valuation of all real estate and personal property within the corporate limits that is subject to taxation. The revenue from the tax shall be known as the Sewer Maintenance Fund. The Director of Public Works shall have the direct management and control of the Sewer Department and shall faithfully carry out the duties of his or her office. He or she shall have the authority to adopt rules and regulations for the sanitary and efficient management of the Department subject to the supervision and review of the City Council.
(Neb. RS 17-149 and 17-925.01) (1973 Code, § 3-201)
The city, through the City Sewer Department, shall furnish sewer services to persons within its corporate limits whose premises abut a street or alley in which a commercial main is now or may hereafter be laid. The city may also furnish sewer service to persons whose premises are situated outside the corporate limits of the city, as and when, according to law, the City Council may see fit to do so. The rules, regulations, and sewer rental rates hereinafter named in this chapter, shall be considered a part of every application hereafter made for sewer service and shall be considered a part of the contract between every customer now or hereafter served. Without further formality, the making of the application on the part of any applicant or the use of sewer service by present customers thereof shall constitute a contract between the customer and the city to which the contract both parties are bound. If the customer shall violate any of the provisions of the contract or any reasonable rules and regulations that the City Council may hereafter adopt, the Director of Public Works, or his or her agent, may cut off or disconnect the sewer service from the building or premise of the violation. No further connection for sewer service to the building or premise shall again be made save or except by order of the Director of Public Works or his or her agent.
(Neb. RS 17-901 and 17-902) (1973 Code, § 3-202)
The property owner, occupant or lessee of any premise that abuts a sewer main that is now or may hereafter be laid shall without delay, cause the said building to be connected with sewer system and equipped with inside sewerage facilities. Every building hereafter erected shall be connected with the sewer system at the time of its construction. In the event that any property owner, occupant or lessee shall neglect, fail or refuse within a period of ten days after notice has been given to him or her to do so by registered mail or by publication in a newspaper in or of general circulation in the municipality to make such connection, the governing body shall have the power to cause the same to be done, to assess the cost thereof against the property and to collect the assessment thus made in the manner provided for collection of other special taxes and assessments.
(Neb. RS 17-149 and 17-149.01) (1973 Code, § 3-203) (Ord. 513, passed 6-15-1981; Ord. 812, passed 10-14-2010) Penalty, see § 52.999
Each and every building must make a direct connection with the main sewer line. Under no circumstances will two or more houses be allowed to make the connections through one pipe.
(Neb. RS 18-503) (1973 Code, § 3-204) Penalty, see § 52.999
