A. Before commencement of construction of a private sewage disposal system, the owner shall first obtain a written permit, signed by the Superintendent of Public Works. The application for the permit shall be made on forms furnished by the city, which applicant shall supplement by any plans, specifications and other information as is deemed necessary by the Superintendent of Public Works.
B. A permit for a private sewage disposal system shall not become effective until the installation is completed to the satisfaction of the Superintendent of Public Works. The city shall be allowed to inspect the work at any stage of construction and, in any event, the applicant for the permit shall notify the Superintendent of Public Works when the work is ready for final inspection and before any underground portions are covered. The inspection shall be made forthwith upon receipt of notice that the work is ready for final inspection.
C. The applicant for the building sewer permit shall notify the Superintendent of Public Works when the building sewer is ready for inspection, and shall specify in the notice the location of the premises. In the event that the work or material used is not in accordance with the provisions of this title, the Inspector shall notify the person doing the work and also the owner of the premises by posting a written notice upon the premises; and the posted notice shall be all the notice that is required to be given of the defects in the work or material found in the inspection; and a copy of the notice shall be kept on file in the office of the Superintendent of Public Works. In the event the defects are not corrected within 30 days of the posted notice, the Superintendent of Public Works or his or her representative, if in his or her opinion the defective work is detrimental to the public sewer or public sewage system, may order or cause the defects to be corrected; and the actual cost of the correction shall be chargeable to the owner as a service charge, and shall be a lien upon the property served by the building sewer. No trench shall be filled nor any connecting sewer covered until the work from the place where the same connects with the public sewer or other outlet to the point where it connects with the building drain or other plumbing of the building or premises to be connected shall have been inspected or approved by or under the direction of the Superintendent of Public Works and until the same shall have been made in all respects to conform to the provisions of this title.
D. In any case, the owner or agent shall make application on a special form furnished by the city; and upon the filing of the application, the owner or agent shall pay to the city a permit fee for the right of the applicant to hook to the public sewer.
