(a) All improved property within the town limits with a structure that generates wastewater, and such structure is located within 200 feet of a town owned sewer line, shall be connected therewith, and the property owner shall be charged the prescribed connection fee for all such connections. Such connection shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this section within 90 days after the date of official notice to connect.
(b) Improved property served by wells and annexed by the town shall be connected to the sewer systems, if within 200 feet, within two years of the effective date of annexation; provided, however, that no connection to the sewer system shall be permitted without also connecting to the town's water system.
(c) The manager or town council may delay or waive the requirement for connection where a determination is made that it is impractical to connect due to topography or other just causes. New construction shall be required to connect to an existing sewer line prior to receiving a certificate of occupancy.
(d) Except as provided in this article, 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. If improved property is currently connected to a town sewer, it shall be unlawful to disconnect.
(e) If improved property is connected to a town-owned sewer line, or to a privately owned line that has access to the public sewer system, it shall be unlawful to disconnect from public sewer except as allowed for in this section.
