[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of this chapter or rules or regulations of the Village, or who shall connect a building sewer without first having obtained a permit therefor, or who shall violate any provision of the Wisconsin Statutes, Wisconsin Administrative Code, or any other regulations which are incorporated by reference shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a penalty as provided in §
1-4, the general penalty section of this Code. Forfeitures for violations are set forth in the Schedule of Forfeitures on file in the Village office. This, however, shall not bar the Utility from enforcing the mandatory hookup set out in §
455-22 or any other rights the Village or Utility may have.
The maintenance and use of septic tanks, holding tanks and other
private sewage disposal systems within the area of the Village serviced
by its sewer system are hereby declared to be a public nuisance and
a health hazard. The use of septic tanks, holding tanks or any private
sewage disposal system within the area of the Village shall be prohibited
unless a special permit is obtained from the Utility. Upon abandonment
of the septic tank or holding tank, the tanks shall be filled with
gravel or sand in a manner acceptable to the Village.
Whenever premises served by the system are to be vacated or
whenever any person desires to discontinue service from the system,
the Utility must be notified in writing. The owner of the premises
shall be liable for any damages to the property or such damage which
may be discovered having occurred to the property of the system other
than through the fault of the system or its employees, representatives
or agents.
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in
the opinion of the Utility, they are necessary for the proper handling
of liquid wastes containing grease in excessive amounts, or any flammable
wastes, sand or other harmful ingredients, except that such interceptors
shall not be required for private living quarter or dwelling units.
All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Utility
and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning
and inspection.
The Utility reserves the right to reject connections to the
sanitary sewer system and require pretreatment of wastes to acceptable
levels, prior to discharge into the sanitary sewer system.
The Village hereby adopted all the rules and regulations of
the State Plumbing and State Building Codes and the building rules
of the Department of Safety and Professional Services and the Department
of Natural Resources of the State of Wisconsin insofar as the same
are applicable to the Village.
