(A) Every applicant for a permit to install, add to, alter, relocate or replace sewage facilities or any part thereof, shall state in writing on the application form provided for that purpose, the work proposed to be done and the location, ownership, occupancy and use of the premises in connection therewith. The General Manager may require plans, specifications or drawings and such other information as he or she may deem necessary.
(B) The applicant shall pay for each permit issued and, at the time of issuance, all applicable fees.
(C) Any person who shall commence sewerage work for which a connection permit is required by this chapter without first having obtained a permit therefor shall, if subsequently permitted to obtain a permit, pay in addition to all applicable fees, a penalty of $500. Provided, however, that this provision shall not apply to emergency work when it shall be proved to the satisfaction of the General Manager that the work was urgently necessary and that it was not practical to obtain a permit therefor before the commencement of the work.
(D) In all such cases a permit must be obtained as soon as it is practical to do so, and if there be an unreasonable delay in obtaining the permit, a penalty of $500, as herein provided, shall be charged.
