   (B)   It shall be unlawful to discharge to any natural outlet within the city, or in any area under the jurisdiction of the city, any sewage or other polluted waters, except where suitable treatment has been provided in accordance with subsequent provisions of this chapter and the NPDES permit.
   (C)   It shall be unlawful to construct or maintain any privy, privy vault, septic tank, cesspool or other facility intended or used for the disposal of sewage, unless approval is received in writing from the City Council.
   (D)   The owner of all houses, buildings or properties used for human occupancy, employment, recreation or other purposes situated within the city is hereby required at his or her expense to install suitable toilet facilities therein, and to connect the facilities directly with the proper public sewer in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, within 90 days after date of official notice to do so, provided that a public sewer main is available to his or her property. A sewer main will be considered available to a property if it lies within an abutting street or alley right-of-way or an easement. A letter from the City Clerk-Treasurer to the property owner shall be considered to be official notice. The installation of sewer mains within the city shall be the responsibility of the city and the cost of constructing sewer mains may be financed by a special assessment levied against the benefitting property. The cost of installing lot service connections to the sewer mains shall be the responsibility of the property owner.
