(A) The owners of all houses, buildings, or property used for human occupancy, employment, recreation, or other purposes, situated within the town and abutting on any street, alley or right-of-way in which there is now located or may in the future be located a sanitary sewer line of the town, is hereby required to install suitable toilet and sewage disposal facilities directly with the public sanitary sewer system in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, within 30 days after official notice to do so.
(B) During the construction of any sewer line by the town, the property abutting such line may be connected with the line at no cost to the owner of the property. After the completion of the construction of the sanitary sewer line by the town, a charge will be made for each connection.
(C) At such time as a public sanitary sewer line becomes available to a property served by a private sewage disposal system, a direct connection shall be made to the public sanitary sewer system in compliance with this section, and any septic tank, cess pool and any similar private sewage disposal facility shall be abandoned and filled with suitable materials. No septic tank or cess pool shall be permitted to discharge into the public sanitary sewer system.
(D) When sanitary sewer facilities become available, the failure to connect any dwelling, public building, commercial, or industrial building with such facilities within 30 days, shall result in the disconnection of any such building from the town’s water lines by the town’s Water Department and the owner of any such building shall become subject to a fine of the same amount per month as such building would be charged if it were connected to the sewer system. The fine shall continue each month until such connection is made. A charge shall be made for reconnection of water service to any such building.
(E) No unauthorized person shall uncover, make any connections with or opening into, use, alter, or disturb any public sanitary sewer line or appurtenance thereof and before commencement of the construction of any dwelling, public building, commercial, or industrial building shall obtain a written permit signed by the Clerk-Treasurer of the town. The application for such permit shall be made on a form furnished by the town, and the connection shall be inspected by a person designated by the Board of Trustees of the town.
(F) All costs and expenses incident to the installation and connection of any building with the public sanitary sewer system shall be borne by the owner. The owner of any such building shall indemnify the town for any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation or connection of such building with the public sanitary sewer system.
