No unauthorized person shall uncover, make any connection with or opening into, use, alter or disturb any public sewer or appurtenance thereof without first obtaining a written permit from the City. The application for the permit shall set forth the location and description of the property to be connected with the sewer system and the purpose for which the sewer is to be used, and shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications, or other information considered pertinent. The permit shall require the owner to complete construction and connection of the building sewer to the public sewer within sixty (60) days after the issuance of the permit, except that when a property owner makes sufficient showing that due to conditions beyond the owner’s control or peculiar hardship, such time period is inequitable or unfair, an extension of time within which to comply with the provisions herein may be granted. Any sewer connection permit may be revoked at any time for a violation of these chapters.
Before any permit is issued, the person who makes the application shall pay to the Clerk the permit fee for each unit to be connected to a sewer service line. The City Council shall set the permit fee by resolution, part of which shall be used to maintain the City's sewer distribution and part of which shall cover the cost of issuing the permit and supervising, regulating, and inspecting the building sewer work.
