   (b)    No person shall discharge to any natural outlet within the City, or any area under the jurisdiction of or served by the City, any sanitary sewage, industrial waste or other polluted water, except where suitable treatment has been provided in accordance with subsequent provisions of this chapter, excepting that nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to control wastes which are discharged pursuant to any NPDES Permit issued by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, other than NPDES Permit No. OH0026328 issued to the City.

   (c)    Except as hereinafter provided, no person shall construct or maintain any privy, privy vault, septic tank, cesspool or other facility, within or under the jurisdiction of the City, intended or used for the disposal of sewage, except in conformance with Section 935.04.
