13.08.040: REQUIRED CONNECTIONS:
The Board of Trustees has caused a survey to be made of sanitary conditions within the Village, including the geological aspects in relation to industrial, business and residential establishments as the same affect the health and welfare of the inhabitants of the village, and has determined that it is necessary for the protection of the public health and for sanitary purposes that owners of inhabited property within the village be required to connect their industrial, business and residential establishments or other inhabited property to the sewer system and to cease to use all other methods of sewage disposal, and the board does so require; provided only, that each such establishment or other inhabited property is within one hundred fifty feet (150') of the nearest sewer service line and is capable of being served by and through the village's sewer system at the established rates. In the event any owner of such inhabited property fails or refuses to make such a connection upon being requested to do so by the village officials, the village may take such lawful action as may be necessary or desirable to effect such connection. Any owner of such inhabited property shall be compelled so to connect the property. Upon a failure so to connect within sixty (60) days after written notice to do so transmitted by registered first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each last known owner at his last known address according to the records of the village and the real property assessment roll in the county in which the property is located, the board shall cause such connection to be made and a lien to be filed against the property for the expense in making such connection.
