[Adopted as Secs. 11.08 and 11.15 of the 2003 Municipal Code]
Whenever sewer and water become available to any building used
for human habitation, the Health Officer shall notify, in writing,
the owner, agent or occupant thereof to connect thereto all facilities
required by the Health Officer. If such person to whom the notice
has been given shall fail to comply for more than 90 days after the
notice, the Health Officer 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, no privy,
privy vault or cesspool shall be constructed or maintained upon such
lot or parcel and any privy, privy vault or cesspool shall be abated
upon 10 days' written notice for such abatement by the Health
Officer. If not so abated, the Health Officer shall cause the same
to be done and the cost thereof assessed as a special tax against
the property.
The Health Officer 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.
Where sewer mains are not available, chemical toilets shall
be used. No surface privy, cesspool or dry closet shall be constructed
or maintained on any lot or parcel without a permit granted by the
Health Officer.
Any person who shall violate any provision of this article shall be subject to a penalty as provided in § 1-4 of this Code.
