[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of Gresham as §§ 11.01 through 11.03, 11.06, 11.07 and 11.10 of the prior Code. Amendments noted where applicable.]
A. 
Permit required. No person shall conduct within the Village or within one mile of the Village limits any business which has a tendency to create a public nuisance, except upon permit issued by the Village Board and subject to such conditions as the Board may impose.
B. 
Definition. A business which has a tendency to create a public nuisance is one which, unless properly regulated, may create conditions creating a public nuisance as defined in § 213-2 of this Code.
C. 
Authority. This section is enacted pursuant to § 66.0415, Wis. Stats.
A. 
Notice to connect. Whenever sewer and water become available to any building used for human habitation, the Village Engineer shall notify, in writing, the owner, agent or occupant thereof to connect thereto all facilities required by the Engineer. If such person to whom the notice has been given shall fail to comply for more than 10 days after the notice, the Engineer shall cause the necessary connections to be made and the expense thereof shall be assessed as a special tax against the property, pursuant to § 281.45, Wis. Stats.

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 Village Engineer. If not so abated, the Engineer shall cause the same to be done and the cost thereof assessed as a special tax against the property.
C. 
Extension. The Village Engineer 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.
D. 
Privies prohibited. Where sewer mains are not available, chemical toilets shall be used. No surface privy, cesspool or dry closet shall be constructed or maintained on any lot or parcel without a permit granted by the Village Engineer.
See Chapter 222, Peace and Good Order, of this Code.
