At such time as a wastewater sewer becomes available as defined in Section 710.080 to a property served by a private wastewater disposal system, a direct connection shall be made to the wastewater sewer within ninety (90) days. Any septic tanks, cesspools, and similar wastewater disposal facilities shall be emptied and filled with material acceptable by the City, unless it is demonstrated to and acceptable by the City that the existing facility could function as a back-up, secondary or emergency system in the event of temporary failure of the City's collection and treatment system.
