If any structure which is used or designed for human occupancy and/or in which sanitary sewage originates is not connected to an available municipal water supply and/or an available public sanitary sewer within the time specified in sections 82-11 and 82-12, the city shall require the connection to be made immediately after receipt of a Notice to Connect, which may be by first- class or certified mail to the owner of the property or by posting on the property. If any such structure remains unconnected to an available municipal water supply or available public sanitary sewer after the owner thereof has received Notice to Connect, the owner of the property shall be responsible for a municipal civil infraction punishable as provided in section 1-8(d) of the Mason City Code. Each day that the premises remains unconnected thereafter shall constitute a separate violation. In addition to the remedies provided by the Mason City Code, the city may, after 90 days from the date of mailing or posting of the written Notice to Connect, bring an action for a mandatory injunction or order in the Ingham County Circuit Court to compel the owner to connect to the available municipal water supply and/or available sanitary sewer system immediately.
