   A.   Objectionable Waste: It shall be unlawful for any person to place, deposit or permit to be deposited in any unsanitary manner on public or private property within the county, or in any area under the jurisdiction of the county, any human or animal excrement, garbage or other objectionable waste.
   B.   Polluted Waters: It shall be unlawful to discharge to any natural outlet within the county, or in any area under the jurisdiction of the county, any sewage or other polluted waters, except where suitable treatment has been provided in accordance with subsequent provisions of this chapter.

   D.   Availability Of Public Sewer: The owners of all houses, buildings or properties used for human occupancy, employment, recreation or other purposes, situated within the county, or in any area under the jurisdiction of the county, and abutting on any street, alley or right of way in which there is now located or may in the future be located a public sanitary or combined sewer of any county sewer district or any municipal sewer serving the area, is hereby required at the owner's expense to install suitable toilet facilities therein, and to connect such facilities directly with the proper public sewer in accordance with the provisions of this chapter within ninety (90) days after date of official notice to do so; provided, that said public sewer is within three hundred feet (300') of the property line.
   E.   It shall be unlawful to construct or to continue the use of any other sewage disposal system such as a privy, vault, cesspool, septic tank or other onsite wastewater system on such a parcel or lot, except by written approval of the relevant District Board in cases of undue hardship, which may include but are not limited to a lack of easements or rights-of-way for service connection pipelines or topographical limitations that would prevent a reasonable connection to the system.
   F.   In the event that any district's wastewater collection system is extended or modified to come within three hundred feet (300') of any parcel or lot upon which an onsite wastewater system or alternative onsite wastewater system has been or is being operated or to remove any undue hardship, the owner or person having charge of the parcel or lot shall, at land owner's sole expense and within ninety (90) days of the date of such extension or modification, disconnect the parcel or lot from the onsite wastewater system or alternative onsite wastewater system, abandon the system in compliance with applicable law or regulation, pay applicable fees, and connect to the wastewater collection system.

New subdivisions and multiple lot/unit developments shall be required to connect to the wastewater system when reasonable access is available. In general, reasonable access shall be considered as the subdivision or development parcel being located within three hundred feet (300') multiplied by the number of proposed lots or units, whichever is greater, of any of the district's wastewater collection facilities, except by written approval of the relevant District Board in cases of undue hardship.
