   (d)   Public Sanitary Sewer Available. The owner of all houses, buildings, or properties used for human occupancy, employment, recreation, or other purposes, situated within the Municipality, or in any area under the jurisdiction of the Municipality, and abutting on any street, alley, or right of way in which there is now located or may in the future be located a public sanitary sewer, is hereby required at his expense to install suitable plumbing and toilet facilities therein, and to connect such facilities directly with the proper public sanitary sewer in accordance with the provision of this chapter within six months after such service is certified in writing to be available by the Municipality, and provided that such public sanitary sewer is:
      (1)   Within 100 feet of the property line, or
      (2)   Within 300 feet of the building served. A copy of the certification shall be sent to each property owner to be connected.
   (e)   Notice of Connections. If the connection is not made within the six months connection period, the Utilities Coordinator or his/her designee shall cause written notice to be given to each property owner that connections are to be made, which notice shall state the number and size of connections required. The Utilities Coordinator or his/her designee may also compel the making of sewer connections whenever he deems it necessary by reason of contemplated street paving. The notice to be served on the property owners shall be served in the manner provided for the serving of summons in civil actions, and the report of the person serving the notice or a certified copy thereof shall be prima-facie evidence of the serving of the notice. If any of such owners are non-residents of the Municipality, or cannot be located, the notice may be given by publication twice in a newspaper of general circulation within the Municipality.
