All septic tank systems that empty into any open waterway, whether

[R.O. 2011 §700.120; Ord. No. 150-90 §IV, 3-7-1990; Ord. No. 709-09 §§1 — 2, 7-1-2009; Ord. No. 937-21, 3-3-2021]
Before any septic systems are constructed or installed, it shall
be the duty of the landowner upon whose land construction or installation
is to take place, to secure a permit from the City for the construction
of the septic system. This permit shall be issued by the City after
it has been determined that the septic tank system to be constructed
or installed meets the standards set forth in the Chapter and will
be installed by a licensed septic installer where there is no adjacent
sewer to the property. A soils morphology test must be reviewed by
a licensed professional engineer along with the review of the proposed
septic system prior to submission of the permitting request. Soils
must be suitable so that the danger of septic tank water surfacing
does not exist, and the threat of aquifer contamination is eliminated.
