[Adopted 11-5-1956 by Ord. No. 103]
To assure preservation of public health, comfort and safety,
it shall be the duty of the owner or the agent of any building used
for human habitation and located adjacent to a sewer or water main
or in a block through which one or both of said systems entirely extend,
to connect therewith after notice as provided herein.
When a sewer or water main becomes available to any building
used for human habitation, the public works officer of the City of
Hayward, or the health officer of the City of Hayward or any other
person appointed for that purpose, may notify, in writing, the owner
or his agent to connect the building thereto and to install such facilities
as may be reasonably necessary. The manner of connection shall be
prescribed by the notifying officer.
If no sewer main is available, as provided in §§ 445-1 and 445-2 of this article, the public works officer or the health officer of the City of Hayward may order the installation of proper sewage disposal facilities, which sewage disposal facilities shall meet the requirements of the State Board of Health.
The notice required of this article shall be given in the manner
prescribed by § 262.08(4), Wis. Stats. (1955),[1] or by registered mail addressed to the last known address
of the owner or his agent.

Editor's Note: Section no longer exists.
If the owner or his agent fails to comply, after 10 days' notice
as herein provided, the notifying officer shall cause connection to
be made and the expense thereof assessed as a special assessment tax
against the property.
The owner or his agent may, within 30 days after the completion
of the work, file a written option with the City Clerk/Treasurer stating that he cannot pay
the cost of connection in one sum and electing that such sum be levied
in five equal annual installments with interest on the unpaid balance
at 6% per annum.
After connection of any building used for human habitation to
a sewer main, no privy, cesspool or waterless toilet shall be used
in connection with such human habitation.
Any person who shall fail to comply with a proper connection
order or shall otherwise violate this article, shall forfeit not less
than $25 nor more than $50, together with the costs of prosecution,
or shall be imprisoned in the county jail not exceeding 30 days for
failure to pay such forfeiture. Each day of violation shall constitute
a separate offense; provided, no forfeiture shall be imposed where
connection is made at the expense of the property.
