2. It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to disconnect all preexisting septic systems by means of physically removing or blocking existing sewer or tile lines on both sides of the existing septic tank or cesspool, as the case may be, and fill the septic tank or cesspool with sand.
3. The city shall make an inspection to ensure that the procedures have been followed.
