(A) No owner, agent, lessee, tenant, or occupant of any lot or land located within the village shall establish, construct, maintain, or permit to remain in the village a privy, cesspool, or other receptacle for sewage or excreta, for connection to a private sewer, ditch, or other outlet, if such lot or land is within 300 feet of a public sewer constructed and used for the purpose of conveying sewage. When such public sewer is available or is hereafter made available, a connection to such public sewer shall be established and used within 60 days after such public sewer is so available by such owner, agent, lessee, tenant, or occupant, who shall, for such purpose, obtain a connection permit from the Village Administrator.
(B) It shall be unlawful for any person being the owner, lessor, occupant, or person in charge of any premises upon which a privy vault, cesspool, or septic tank is located, to permit such vault, pool, or tank, or any building, fixture, or device appurtenant thereto, to become foul, noisome, filthy, or offensive to neighboring property.
(C) Whenever any part of the waste in any privy vault or cesspool extends to a point less than two feet below the surface of the ground adjacent thereto, or whenever use of any such vault or cesspool is abandoned or where such use or maintenance is prohibited by this code, an ordinance of the village, or health order, the owner, lessor, occupant, or person in charge of such premises, shall cause such vault or cesspool to be emptied of its contents, thoroughly cleaned, and disinfected, and if abandoned, to be filled with clean earth or mineral matter to the level of the adjacent ground. Any failure to comply with these provisions shall be deemed an unlawful act.
