This article is adopted to promote and preserve public sanitation

Brown County, Wisconsin.
The public sewer system is under the jurisdiction of the Pittsfield
Sanitary District. Any connection to or use of the sewers is subject
to the rules and regulations of the Sanitary District.
"Sanitary sewage" is hereby defined as the waste from water
closets, urinals, lavatories, sinks, bathtubs, showers, household
laundries, cellar floor drains and garage floor drains, and only such
domestic sewage as herein defined shall be permitted to be deposited
within the sanitary sewers of the District. The regulations of sewage
discharge as established by the Green Bay Metropolitan Sewerage District
are hereby adopted and made a part hereof as though set forth at length
herein.
All new residences and businesses, and existing residences and
businesses with a failing septic system, shall be connected to the
public sanitary sewerage system when sewer mains are adjacent to the
property. This requirement is contingent on acceptance by the Brown
County Planning Commission into the sewer service area. Application
must be made to the Town Board to change the boundaries of the Pittsfield
Sanitary District.
