§ 52.02 USE OF PUBLIC SEWER REQUIRED.
   (A)   Unsanitary manner prohibited. No person shall place, deposit or permit to be deposited in any unsanitary manner, on public or private property within the city, or in any area under the jurisdiction of the city, any human or animal excrement, garbage or objectionable waste.
   (B)   Discharge prohibited. No waste water or other polluted waters, except where suitable treatment has been provided in accordance with subsequent provisions of this code, shall be discharged into any natural outlet within the city or in any area under the jurisdiction of the city.
   (C)   Disposal prohibited. Except as hereinafter provided, no privy, privy vault, septic tank, cesspool or other facility intended or used for the disposal of waste water shall be constructed or maintained.
   (D)   Toilet facilities required.
      (1)   Providing treatment capacity is available, the owners of all houses, buildings or properties used for human occupancy, employment, recreation or other purposes, situated within the city and abutting on any street, alley or right-of-way in which a public sanitary or combined sewer of the city is now located or may in the future be located, are required to install suitable toilet facilities at the owners' expense.
      (2)    These toilet facilities must connect directly with the proper public sewer in accordance with this code, within 90 days after official notice to do so, provided the public sewer is within 1,000 feet of the property line.
      (3)   Unless a variance is granted by the City Council pursuant to the criteria required for zoning ordinance variances, no private wastewater disposal system shall be allowed on any lot served with city water. All new construction of private wastewater disposal systems must receive City Council approval in addition to that of the Superintendent of Public Works. The Council may deny approval even if all other requirements are met, if the parcel proposed for a private system is located within an area planned to be developed with city sewer and water extensions within the next 15 years, in the City's Comprehensive Plan or Capital Improvements Plan.
