(A) Independent sewer service line required.
(1) The sewer main line and sewer service line(s) shall be so arranged that there is a separate and independent sewer service line to each individual building, place of business or tract of land.
(2) After the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter, a separate and independent side sewer (building service line) shall be provided for every new building connecting to the sanitary sewer system of the city. Separate side sewers are not required for each trailer space in overnight trailer courts, nor for each cabin in cabin courts; however, separate side sewers (sewer service lines) are required for trailer houses or individual lots or for long-term trailer rental units in mobile home courts.
(B) Existing branch service lines. Where sewer service is now provided through one sewer service line to several customers (branch service lines), the city, by resolution of its Council, may decline to continue to accept sewage from the premises until separate sewer service lines are provided at the owner’s expense. Where more than one dwelling is served from one such service line, the established rate shall be charged for each customer in the same manner as if each did, in fact, have an individual sewer service line.
(C) Sewer service line maintenance. All sewer users shall keep their individual service lines in good repair and shall keep them in such good condition that they shall not allow excessive amounts of ground water to enter into the sewer system.
