The owner of all houses, buildings or properties

situated within the Improvement boundaries and abutting on any street,
alley or right-of-way in which there is now located or may in the
future be located a public sanitary sewer of the Improvement within
100 feet of said property line, is hereby required, at his expense,
to install suitable plumbing facilities therein and to connect such
facilities directly with the proper public sewer in accordance with
the provisions of this local law within 90 days after the date of
official notice to do so, provided that said public sewer is within
100 feet of the property line; and any septic tanks, cesspools and

Owners of premises upon which a commercial car
wash is operated, and the operators of any such car washes, may, if
the premises on which any such car washes are located have adequate
satisfactory sewerage facilities to dispose of the water used in the
car wash, continue to use such sewerage facilities solely to dispose
of the water used in actually washing vehicles but must separate the
plumbing facilities for that water from the plumbing facilities carrying
all other forms of sewage and connect the latter plumbing facilities
directly with the proper public sewer in accordance with all the provisions
of this chapter. The owner and/or operator of any car wash continuing
to use a private sewage system as aforesaid shall separate the pipes
supplying water to the actual vehicle-washing operation from all waterlines
to the premises on which the said car wash operations are located
and shall, at his own cost, connect the pipes supplying water to the
actual vehicle-washing operation to a separate water meter so that
the quantity of water used in the actual car wash operation is separately
metered and measured.
