§ 51.043  INSPECTIONS.
   (A)   Except as hereinafter provided, upon the change in ownership of every residential lot, parcel or real estate, or building that discharges sanitary waste into the sanitary sewer system of the city, said property shall be inspected for proper sanitary sewer connections, inflow and infiltration. No water service shall be provided to such property until a satisfactory certificate of inspection has been issued by the inspector for the Woodburn Board of Public Works. The fee for issuance of a satisfactory certificate of inspection shall be $25, which sum shall be paid by the then owner of the property inspected.
   (B)   The inspection required hereunder shall be at the city's cost and may include televising and recording the condition of the sewer lateral leading from the premises to the city's sewer main; conducting smoke testing, and liquid dye testing; and entrance onto the property to verify that no sump pump, foundation drains, downspouts, or other prohibitive connections are connected to the sanitary sewer system.
   (C)   No water service shall be provided to such premises until such time as any defects or improper connections found by such inspection have been corrected at the owner's expense, and to the satisfaction of the City Services Manager, or his or her designee.
   (D)   Once inspected, any such property receiving a satisfactory certificate of inspection shall not be subject to re-inspection under this section for a period of one year.
   (E)   When, for any reason, the owner of any property lawfully disconnects a building sewer from the public sewer, said property shall be inspected by the inspector for the Woodburn Board of Public Works, for proper disconnection from, and closure on, the public sanitary sewer, to insure that there will be no inflow and infiltration into the public sewer.
   (F)   The owner of any such who fails or refuses to have said property inspected after transfer or disconnection, pursuant to this section, shall be guilty of an ordinance violation, and upon conviction shall be liable for a fine in the sum of $25. Each day a violation continues after written notice to the owner for compliance with this section, shall constitute a separate offense.
