[Adopted 8-15-2005 by Ord. No. 2005-06 as §§ 11.05
and 11.20 of the 2005 Code]
Whenever sewer and water become available to any building used
for human habitation, the Director of Public Works shall notify in
writing the owner, agent or occupant thereof to connect all facilities
thereto required by the City. If such person to whom the notice has
been given shall fail to comply for more than 10 days after the notice,
the City shall cause the necessary connections to be made and the
expense thereof shall be assessed as a special tax against the property
pursuant to § 281.45, Wis. Stats.
After connection to a water main and public sewer, a privy,
privy vault or cesspool shall not be constructed or maintained upon
such lot or parcel and shall be abated upon 10 days' written
notice for such abatement by the City. If not so abated, the City
shall cause the same to be done and the cost thereof assessed as a
special tax against the property.
[Amended 11-17-2014 by Ord. No. 2014-05]
The City may extend the time for connection hereunder or may
grant other temporary relief where strict enforcement would work an
unnecessary hardship without corresponding public benefit.
Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of this article shall, upon conviction of such violation, be subject to a penalty as provided in § 1-4 of this Municipal Code.
