(A) Owners of property directly adjacent to the sanitary sewer collection system, but with a working private septic system, shall be allowed to continue to use their private septic system. If however, at any time, the private septic system fails, as determined by the City Building Inspector or Zoning Administrator through an inspection and no reasonable option exists to repair it or replace it on a suitable on-site alternate septic site, the owners shall install a suitable service connection to the sanitary sewer system at their own expense.
(B) If a property owner chooses to continue to use a private septic system where city sanitary and water service is available, a water availability charge may be imposed.
(C) Any property that has been provided with service stubs and fails to make payment to the city for the installation of the service stubs and has not been assessed for the stub by the time the stubs are installed, shall be charged, pursuant to M.S. § 444.075, as it may be amended from time to time, a per stub amount and a monthly charge, as determined by the City Council, for the availability of said stubs. Any unpaid availability charges shall be certified with the taxes against the property.
