A. Connection Mandatory: Maintenance or use of cesspools or other local means of sewage disposal constitutes a public nuisance. All buildings inhabited or used by human beings which are within one hundred feet (100') from the sewerage system of the city or any extension hereafter made thereto, and in which any sewage is produced shall be connected with the sewerage system of the city within ninety (90) days from completion thereof.
B. New Connections And Inflow Sources Prohibited; Compliance Required: The city shall prohibit new collections from inflow sources and require that all new sewers and connections are designed and constructed in accordance with acceptable practices. (Ord. 137, 12-13-1990)
C. Disconnection: As an alternative method of collecting such charges, after compliance with the procedure for discontinuance of service for nonpayment set forth in section 7-1-11 of this title, the city may disconnect any premises from the sewer system if the user fails to pay the service charges for his premises after they shall have become delinquent. The person in charge of the sewer system shall estimate the cost of disconnection of such premises from the enterprise and the cost of reconnecting it thereto, and such user shall deposit the cost, as estimated, of disconnection and reconnection before such premises are reconnected to the sewer system. In the event such arrearages are paid and premises are reconnected to the sewer system, the person in charge shall refund any part of the deposit remaining after payment of all costs of disconnection and reconnection. (Ord. 146, 3-16-1994)
D. Abatement: During the period of nonconnection or disconnection, habitation of such premises by human beings shall constitute a public nuisance, whereupon the council shall cause proceedings to be brought to the abatement of the occupancy of said premises by the human beings. In such event, and as a condition of connection or reconnection, there shall be paid to the city reasonable attorney fees and costs of suit arising in said action. (Ord. 137, 12-13-1990)
