§ 11.04.020 PRIVATE SEWAGE DISPOSAL.
   (A)   When a public sanitary or combined sewer is not available, every house or structure shall be connected on a private sewage disposal system which shall be examined by an inspector to insure compliance with all requirements of pertinent ordinances, rules, regulations, or statutes.
   (B)   At such times as public sewer becomes available to a property served by a sewage disposal system, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer in compliance with this chapter, and any septic tanks, cesspools and similar private sewage disposal facilities shall be abandon and filled with suitable material.
   (C)   Private sewage disposal systems in operation at the time of passage of this ordinance may continue in use without inspection until such time as the system requires replacement or repair. At such time it will be the responsibility of the owner of record to secure an examination by an inspector to insure compliance with all requirements of pertinent ordinances, rules, regulations, or statutes. Such examination is to include an on site inspection.
   (D)   In case of new construction, it shall be the responsibility of the owner of record to contact the city for an examination by an inspector to insure compliance with all requirements of pertinent ordinances, rules, regulations, or statutes. Such examination is to include review of the proposed sewage disposal system drawn to scale and on-site inspection.
   (E)   The owner shall operate and maintain the private sewage disposal facilities in a sanitary manner at all times, at no expense to the city and all such private sewage facilities, as herein provided shall be the responsibility of the user, or owner of the private sewage disposal system, and the city is in no way responsible for maintenance or repair, or stoppage or breakage, nor for any damages resulting therefrom, in such private sewage disposal system.
   (F)   No statement contained in this section shall be construed to interfere with any additional requirements that may be imposed by municipal or state health officials.
