(A) Because of their almost instantaneous impact, their injurious results, substantial contributions, and relative ease of correction, the city will institute a priority program for the elimination of extraneous flows entering into the sanitary sewer system through downspouts, roof drains and other visible or outside connections which are connected directly or indirectly to the sanitary sewer system.
(B) Within a period of 60 days starting in mid 1980, and at no expense to the property owner, the city will make visual outside inspections of all properties within the city with specific attention to downspouts, roof drains and other visible or outside connections, and, if requested by the property owner, the city will enter into the premises and make or assist in the making of additional inspections of the premises to ascertain if illegal connections are present. Upon completion of the visual outside or inside inspection, the city will advise the property owner in writing if any illegal connections are observed, and will advise on the manner of corrections for compliance with the provisions of this subchapter. After the corrections are made the city will, at no expense to the owner, make further inspections of the corrections to insure compliance with this subchapter.
(C) Within 30 days after notice to the property owner by the city of the presence of illegal connections, the property owner shall, at his expense, disconnect all illegal connections observed and all discharges of extraneous flows into the sanitary sewer system, directly or indirectly, shall be discontinued.
