(A) The owner of any property used for human occupancy, employment, recreation or other purpose, which abuts on any street, alley or right-of-way in which there is located a public sewer of the city, is hereby required, at his or her expense, to install suitable toilet facilities therein, and to connect the facilities directly with the public sewer in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, within 90 days after date of official notice to do so, provided that the public sewer is within 100 feet of the property line, except that any owner receiving the notice may apply in writing to the General Manager before expiration of the 90-day period for a permit to delay the installation of such a sewer service not to exceed one year if he or she can furnish sufficient evidence to the General Manager that:
(1) Connection to the sewer at this time would be impractical due to personal hardship;
(2) The premises are now served by a septic tank; and
(3) By written report of county’s Health Officer the septic tank is operating efficiently now and that its continued operation would not create a hazard to public health.
(B) Upon receipt of the evidence to his or her satisfaction, the General Manager may grant in writing the extension of time for completing the connection; such a delay shall not be subject to further extensions.
