Accordingly, every owner, tenant and occupant of every lot, parcel or tract, a building or other habitable structure has been or shall be erected for residential, commercial or industrial use, and from which sewage will flow by gravity to the collection sewer line in a public way, shall connect such building or structure immediately with the sewer facilities and shall thereafter refrain from using and cease to use any other method for the disposal of sewage or water-borne waste matter and shall pay all charges, fees and rates provided herein.
(B) Any such building or structure not so connected with the sewer facilities is hereby declared and found to be a hazard to the health, safety, comfort and welfare of the inhabitants of the city and a public nuisance which shall be abated as promptly as possible by proceedings in the Circuit Court of Hancock and Brooke Counties or other court of competent jurisdiction.(Ord. 915, passed 12-28-89; Am.
