(2) In the event that, during the period of 90 days to connect to the city sewer or to provide equivalent sewage treatment facilities, the said owner shall file written objection with the secretary (City Recorder) against so being required to install said facilities, the city shall not enforce the provisions of this division (D)(2) upon said owner, so filing his or her objections, until the Directors (City Council) shall have, at a meeting thereof, heard the said objections of said owner, and rendered its decision thereon.

(F) The owner of any house, building, or property connected to the city’s public sanitary sewer may disconnect from the public sanitary sewer provided the owner provides adequate sewage treatment for the property by complying with division (D) above. In such event, the owner shall pay to the city its reasonable costs of inspection to certify that the sewage treatment facility installed by the owner complies with state and federal requirements for treatment of sewage from residential, industrial, or commercial use, as is appropriate to the use of the property and that the disconnection of the property from the public sanitary sewer is made in such a manner so as not to damage the public sanitary sewer nor result in any sewage effluent being deposited upon the property, adjacent right-of-way or other properties. The City Council may, from time to time, adopt a resolution setting forth the fee for inspection for disconnection from the public sanitary sewer.
