Whenever a water connection is provided for
a property previously served by a well, the well shall be examined
to determine whether it is polluted or will be a menace to health.
Should such well be found to be polluted or a menace to health, it
shall be abandoned and closed in a manner satisfactory to the Mayor
and Council.
No well for household use shall be constructed
on a property accessible to a public water main.
Whenever a sewer connection is provided for
a property, all plumbing fixtures on the property shall be connected
to the public sewer system and all cesspools, privies or other private
means of sewage disposal on the property shall be abandoned and left
in a sanitary condition and shall not be used thereafter for sewage
disposal. All downspouts, ramps, surface and subsurface drains shall
be disconnected satisfactorily to the Mayor and Council so that they
shall not discharge into the public sewer.
No cesspool or privy shall be constructed on
a property accessible to a public sewer. However, temporary privies
for use on construction projects may be built subject to permission
of the Mayor and Council.
