The regulation of health and regulation standards, unless and
until further amendment or revision, shall be left entirely up to
the County of Crawford and the State of Wisconsin. The regulations
of the County of Crawford and State of Wisconsin are hereby incorporated
as part of this Code by reference.
A.
Mowing required. No person owning property within the Village of
Soldiers Grove shall permit to grow or pollinate upon his premises
any weeds or grasses which cause or produce hay fever in human beings,
exhale unpleasant or noxious odors or conceal filthy deposits. In
order to prevent such growth and pollination, it shall be the duty
of every property owner to mow or cause to be mowed upon his premises
all grasses or weeds exceeding six inches in height.
[Amended 6-5-2008]
B.
Mowing by Village. It shall be the duty of the Weed Commissioner
to enforce this section and, if any person shall fail to comply herewith,
the Commissioner shall, after five days' written notice to the
owner, cause the premises to be mowed and report the cost thereof
in writing to the Village Clerk-Treasurer in the manner provided in
§ 66.98[1] of the Wisconsin statutes. Such charge shall be spread
on the tax roll as a special tax to be collected in the same manner
as other taxes unless such lands are exempt from taxation.

Notice to connect. Whenever sewer and/or water becomes available
to any building used for human habitation, the Village Clerk-Treasurer
shall notify in writing the owner, agent or occupant thereof to connect
all facilities thereto required by the Village Clerk-Treasurer. If
such person to whom the notice has been given shall fail to comply
for more than 10 days after the notice, the Village Clerk-Treasurer
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,

C.
The owner shall connect, install, and maintain at his own expense
that portion of the service from the curb, if there be one, otherwise
the easement line to his premises; except when collection lines cross
the owner's property the installation and maintenance responsibility
shall be from collection line to the premises. The installation and
maintenance of the private sewer shall be in compliance with the local
codes and the code of the Wisconsin State Board of Health, Division
of Plumbing and Related Services, performed by persons authorized
to make connections and under the supervision of the Superintendent
of the Sewerage Utility.

notice for such abatement by the Village Clerk-Treasurer. If not so
abated, the Village Clerk-Treasurer shall cause the same to be done
and the cost thereof assessed as a special tax against the property.
[Amended 6-7-2001 by Ord. No. 2001-01]
E.
The Village Board may extend the time for connection hereunder or
may grant other temporary relief where strict enforcement would work
an unnecessary hardship without corresponding public or private benefit.
