(a) No sewage disposal device or equipment shall be installed or maintained on property accessible to a public sanitary sewer. Whenever a new public sanitary sewer is made available, any sewage disposal device or equipment on such property shall be abandoned, and the sewage shall be discharged directly from the building to the sanitary sewer through a watertight connecting sewer without passage through a sewage tank or other treatment device within ninety days after the property owner or agent has been given written notice by certified mail by the Building and Zoning Inspector as to the availability of such sanitary sewer. However, no roof water, cistern overflow or surface or subsoil drainage shall be discharged into such sanitary sewer. An abandoned sewage tank or other device or equipment for treatment or disposal of sewage shall be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected and filled to the ground surface with earth, ashes or other suitable filling materials.
(b) The determination as to whether or not a new public sanitary sewer is available shall be made by the Building and Zoning Inspector in accordance with the guidelines and exemptions set out in Section 6117.51 of the Ohio Revised Code.
