Except as provided and regulated by § 75-26 hereof, no person owning, harboring, keeping, walking or having custody or control of a dog shall cause, permit, suffer or allow such dog to soil, defile, defecate on or commit any nuisance on any common thoroughfare, sidewalk, passageway, bypath, play area, park or any other public property. These restrictions shall likewise apply to any private property unless such person shall have the express written permission of the owner of said property.
The prohibition set forth in § 75-25 above shall not apply to those portions of a street lying between curblines, which areas may be utilized to curb a dog; subject, however, to the following conditions:
A. 
Any person who so curbs a dog shall immediately remove all feces deposited by such dog in the following manner: feces shall be picked up with scoop, shovel, broom, tong or other similar implement and be deposited immediately thereafter in a container, plastic or otherwise, and then subsequently deposited in a container used for the disposal of refuse.
B. 
In no event shall any feces be deposited in sewers or drains, whether storm or sanitary.
