This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Town of
Kennebunkport Wastewater Use Ordinance" and will be referred to herein
as "this chapter."
The purpose of this chapter is to promote the health, comfort,
public convenience and general welfare of the citizens of the Town
of Kennebunkport by eliminating existing pollution, preventing further
pollution and controlling sewerage systems through regulations and
restrictions. This chapter shall restrict and regulate the accumulation,

or other nuisances for the citizens of the Town of Kennebunkport.

3401 to 3409, 3421 to 3428, and 3442 to 3445, as amended, and in all
other applicable state statutes. The Board of Selectmen, being the
municipal officers of the Town of Kennebunkport, shall have the authority
granted under these provisions to administer, enforce, amend or repeal
this chapter, or any clause or provision thereof, as may be necessary
or desirable, in the judgment of the Board of Selectmen, for the efficient
operation of any sewerage system.
This chapter shall completely supersede all other sewer ordinances
enacted by the Town of Kennebunkport prior to the date of the enactment
of this chapter, which other ordinances are hereby repealed, except
as otherwise noted herein. Hereafter, any person owning any building
or structure within the Town of Kennebunkport which is the source
of sewage and/or industrial waste or who proposes to erect such building
or structure shall conform to the requirements of this chapter.
