(a) It shall hereafter be unlawful for any person or corporation to construct or maintain any privy, privy vault, septic tank, cesspool, or other facility intended or used for the disposal of sewage upon premises abutting on any street, alley or right-of-way in which a public sanitary sewer is installed.
(b) At such time as a public sanitary sewer becomes available to premises served by a private sewage disposal system, the owner thereof will be required to connect such facilities directly with the public sanitary sewer in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, within 90 days after official notice to do so, provided that such public sanitary sewer is within 200 feet of the property line of such premises. An official notice may not be issued if the current waste disposal system in use meets approval by the local and State health departments. Any septic tanks, cesspools and similar private sewage disposal facilities shall be abandoned and filled with suitable material after connecting with the public sewers.
