Ord. #30, adopted 05/11/1977 § 51.08 MANDATORY CONNECTION TO PUBLIC SYSTEMS. (A) It is unlawful for any person to install a private water system which is intended to provide water for human consumption or a private sewer system in the city except in cases where the public water or sewer systems are not accessible to the premises where the private systems are requested. To determine whether or not the public water and/or sewer systems are available for connection, each person or corporation desiring to install a private water or sewer system must first make application for connection to a public system. Upon determination by the city that it is not feasible to connect the applicantÓs premises to the public water or sewer system, then the applicant shall be granted a permit to install a private water and/or sewer system in accordance with all appropriate state and local regulations and subject to an agreement with the city recognizing the temporary nature of the private system. (B) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this chapter, property served by a private water or private sewer system shall immediately connect to public sewer and public water whenever a private sewer or private water system fails, falls into disrepair, or creates a nuisance or health hazard. A system Ðfalls into disrepairÑ when the costs of the repair exceeds $1,000.00. In any event, the necessity to bore a new or replacement well is a condition which requires the property to connect to public water and public sewer. (C) All property served by private sewer systems must connect to municipal sewer within 12 months of when it is made available and if municipal sewer is available to properties not connected on the effective date of this ordinance, the property must abandon the private system and connect to municipal sewer no later than 12-31-2012. (D) All property served by private water systems must connect to public water, if it is available, no later than 12-31-2017, except that where water is made available by the City after January 1, 2013, properties served shall be connected no later than 12-31-2021.
