The Village Board finds and declares that the public health,
comfort, safety and welfare is preserved and enhanced by provision
of municipal water and sewer service to each parcel that will be occupied.
It further finds and declares that failure to connect properties to
available municipal water and sewer systems is contrary to the public
health and welfare and should be avoided.
No person shall construct or maintain any privy, privy vault,
holding tank, septic tank, mound system, cesspool or other facility
intended to be used for the disposal of domestic wastewater if a public
sewer is available.
[Amended by Ord. No. 010, Series 2003]
A. Construction or maintenance of a holding tank within the Village
of Grafton may be allowed on a temporary basis under any of the following
conditions:
1.
Public sewer is not available according to the standards adopted
by the Village Board.
2.
The cost of public sewer connection is cost prohibitive. A "cost
prohibitive" connection to municipal sewer shall be determined by
the Village Board upon recommendation of the Board of Public Works,
in accordance with the standards adopted by the Board and relative
to distance from the existing main to the building to be connected,
adverse soil conditions and elevations.
B. Connection to the municipal sewer shall be required as provided for in §
12.02.020. In the event that there are any changes or improvements in the sewer system which make public sewer available to the property or make connection less costly under Subsection A.1 and 2 herein so that it is no longer cost prohibitive under the rules adopted by the Village Board, the property owner shall be required to connect to the municipal sewer in accordance with §
12.02.020.
