(C) (1) The owner of a private wastewater disposal facility shall operate and maintain the facilities in a sanitary manner at all times, at no expense to the village.
(2) Whenever, in the opinion of the Village Administrator, any privy, vault, cesspool, or septic tank shall become offensive to the safety, health, comfort, convenience, or repose of the public, the Village Administrator shall give notice to the owner personally or by mailing the notice by registered mail to such owner at their last known address, requiring the owner or occupant of the premises to clean, remove, or alter the privy, vault, cesspool, or septic tank in a satisfactory manner within 30 days from the date of notice. Should the owner or occupant of the premises fail to clean, remove, or alter such privy, vault, cesspool, or septic tank, or fail to connect to the sewer system as specified in this chapter, within the time specified, the Administrator shall cause the work to be done and the expense for such work shall become an obligation of the owner of the property, to the village. Such obligation shall be collected in a manner consistent with the village policy, or in a suit at law, or the charges shall be certified to the County Auditor and be collected as other taxes are collected. No person shall remove or dispose of the contents of any privy, vault, cesspool, or septic tank except in a manner approved by the Administrator.
