(A) It shall be unlawful for any persons to install private water system or sewer system in the city except in such cases as the public water and sewer system are not accessible to the premises where the private systems are requested. To determine whether or not the public water and/or sewer systems are available for connection, each person desiring to install a private water or sewer system must first make application for connection to a public system. Upon resolution of the City Council determining that it is not feasible to connect the applicant’s premises to the public water or sewer system, then the applicant shall be granted a permit to install a private water and/or sewer system.
(B) Where a private sewer system has been installed before the public sewer system was accessible to the premises served by the private system, connection of the premises to the public system must be made within 30 days after the private system fails to function properly or within three years after public system was accessible, whichever is sooner. It shall be unlawful to repair or pump a private system after such time as the public sewer system is accessible to the premises without written permission of the Water and Sewer Department for the city.
