A. Notwithstanding any provision of the UPC to the contrary, no building or exterior drainage facility on a lot or premises with a net size, exclusive of any access easements, of one acre or more and developed with or proposed for development with a single residence shall be connected to a private sewage disposal system unless:
1. The building or exterior drainage facility is located more than 250 feet from a public sewer main;
2. The owner of the lot or premises on which the private sewage disposal system is to be installed has obtained a private sewage disposal permit from the Butte County health officer and paid a private sewage disposal permit fee in an amount established by resolution of the City Council.
B. The owner of a lot or premises on which a private sewage disposal system has been installed as hereinbefore provided by this section shall be entitled to utilize said system until a public sewer is available in a right-of-way or thoroughfare abutting such lot or premises and the Council has determined by a majority vote that the public health and necessity requires connection to the sewer line and has established an assessment district service area or other financing method for connecting the building or drainage piping on such lot or premises to the sewer line. Provided, however, that upon connecting the building or drainage piping on such lot or premises to the public sewer, the owner of the lot or premises shall be required to pay all water pollution control plant capacity fees, trunkline capacity fees, or sewer main installation fees, in effect at the time of connection.
C. Prior to connection to a private sewage disposal system, the owner of the lot or premises on which a private sewage disposal system is to be installed shall execute and record a covenant, binding on the owner, heirs and successors in interest, setting forth the obligations established in subsection 16R.08.030.B and the requirement for connection of all premises at such time as subdivision, development of additional residential units or reduction of lot size to less than one acre is proposed.
