[Amended 3-25-1968]
(1)
Each building must be separately and independently connected with
a public or private sewer, or septic tank, except where a building
is located on the rear of the same lot with another building, when
its plumbing and drainage system may be connected to the house drain
of the front building behind the house trap and fresh-air inlet, which
shall be used for both buildings if sewer-connected or may be connected
to the existing septic tank of the front house and be provided with
a separate house trap and fresh-air inlet.
(2)
Every building must have its sewer connections directly in front
of the building, unless permission is otherwise granted by the Board
of Trustees.

satisfaction of the Board of Trustees that their use is absolutely
necessary.
