B.
Materials and supplies. The Health Officer shall have authority to
procure, at the expense of the Village, all record books, quarantine
cards and other materials needed by the Board of Health, except such
as are furnished by the State Department of Health Services.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1-2, Adoption
of Code)]
The Board of Health may make reasonable and general rules for
the enforcement of the provisions of this chapter and for the prevention
of the creation of health nuisances and the protection of the public
health and welfare, and may, where appropriate, require the issuance
of licenses and permits. All such regulations shall have the same
effect as ordinances, and any person violating any such regulations
and any lawful order of the Board shall be subject to the general
penalty provided for in this Code.[1]
A.
Notice to connect. Wherever sewer and water becomes available to
any building used for human habitation, the Sewer and Water Committee
Chairperson or his/her designee shall notify, in writing, the owner,
agent or occupant hereof to connect all facilities hereto required
by the Chairperson. The notice required by this section shall direct
the owner or his/her agent to connect the building to such main or
mains in the manner prescribed according to the current state plumbing
codes to install such facilities and fixtures as may be reasonably
necessary to permit passage of sewage incidental to such human habitation
into the sewer system, and to furnish an adequate supply of pure water
for drinking and prevent creation of a health nuisance. If such person
to whom the notice has been given shall fail to comply for more than
10 days after the notice, the Chairperson shall cause the necessary
connections to be made and the expense thereof shall be assessed as
a special tax against the property. The owner may, within 30 days
after receipt of an invoice for work completed, file a written option
with the Clerk-Treasurer, stating that he/she cannot pay the cost
of connection in one sum and request that such sum be levied in five
equal annual installments, with interest on the unpaid balance at
the current interest rate.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1-2, Adoption
of Code)]
B.
Abatement of privies and cesspools. After connection to a water main
and public sewer, no privy, privy vault or cesspool shall be constructed
or maintained upon such lot or parcel and shall be abated upon 10
days' written notice for such abatement by the Chairperson. If not
so abated, the Chairperson shall cause the same to be done and the
cost thereof assessed as a special tax against the property.
C.
Extension of time. The Village Board may extend the time for connection
hereunder or may grant other temporary relief where strict enforcement
would work an unnecessary hardship without corresponding public or
private benefit.
A.
Sanitary requirements. All structures, pens, buildings, stables,
coops or yards wherein animals or fowl are kept shall be maintained
in a clean and sanitary condition, free of rodents, vermin and objectionable
odors.
B.
Animals excluded from food-handling establishments. No person shall
take or permit to remain any dog, cat or other live animal on or upon
any premises where food is sold, offered for sale or processed for
consumption by the general public. This subsection shall not prohibit
the use of guide dogs for the visually handicapped.
C.
Farm animals. Farm animals and fowl, such as cattle, hogs, sheep,
horses, chickens, geese, etc., are prohibited within the Village except
that they may be permitted on those properties zoned "A" (Agricultural)
as a conditional use, provided that a conditional use permit has been
issued by the Village.
D.
Slaughtering. There shall be no slaughtering of animals within the
Village limits.
No person shall deposit or cause to be deposited in any public
street, on any public ground, or on any private property not his/her
own any refuse, garbage, litter, waste material or liquid, or any
other objectionable material or liquid. When any such material is
placed on the person's own private property, it shall be properly
enclosed and covered so as to prevent the same from becoming a public
nuisance.
A.
The Village shall annually on or before May 15 publish a Class 2
notice, under Ch. 985, Wis. Stats., that every person is required
by law to destroy all noxious weeds on lands in the Village which
the person owns, occupies or controls.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1-2, Adoption
of Code)]
B.
If the owner or occupant shall neglect to destroy any weeds as required
by such notice, then the Village Police Chief shall give five days'
written notice by mail to the owner or occupant of any lands upon
which the weeds shall be growing to the effect that the Police Chief,
after the expiration of the five-day period, will proceed to destroy
or cause to be destroyed all such weeds growing upon said lands and
that the cost thereof will be assessed as a tax upon the lands upon
which such weeds are located under the provisions of § 66.0407(3),
Wis. Stats. In case the owner or occupant shall further neglect to
comply with the notice, the Police Chief shall destroy such weeds
or cause them to be destroyed in the manner deemed to be the most
economical method and the expense thereof, including the cost of billing
and other necessary administrative expenses, shall be charged against
such lots and be collected as a special tax thereon.
C.
"Noxious weeds" are those plants designated as noxious weeds in § 66.0407(1)(b),
Wis. Stats., and other rank growth.
D.
Posting notice by the Police Chief may be waived if notice is received
that this is being done on a county basis.
