(A) The owner shall operate and maintain the private sewage disposal facilities in a sanitary manner at all times at his or her own expense.
(B) (1) In addition to the other requirements of this subchapter, all owners of lots on which private sewage systems are situated shall maintain those systems properly.
(2) Failure to maintain the systems properly shall constitute a nuisance which may be abated using the procedures of this chapter.
(3) However, notwithstanding the availability of these procedures, if a lot owner does not respond to an emergency situation where a lack of sewer service poses an immediate threat to public health, the town may summarily abate the nuisance and bill the lot owner for all costs incurred by the town.
