(a)
From and after the passage and publication of this ordinance, it shall be the duty of each person, firm, association or corporation constructing in whole or in part any house, building or structure, of whatever material, or lessee thereof, or person using or occupying same under agreement with such owner, for either dwelling or business purposes or both, to connect such house, building or structure with the sanitary sewer system of the city so that all human excrement and urine, together with water for flushing same, and all bathroom and kitchen wastewater, shall pass from such house, building or structure, by way of toilet, commode and urinal fixtures to be provided and maintained therein, and by way of such tubs, sinks and lavatories as may be necessary to prevent other wastewater from being thrown upon or permitted to flow onto the surface of the ground, into the sewer lines belonging to the city.
(b)
The compulsory connections with the city sewer system provided for by this division shall not apply to any house, building or structure the nearest outside wall of which is more than two hundred (200) feet from the point where a connection is available, or to be made available by the city, with the end of some lateral sewer line, or line running from the main to the private property line; but as to any house, building or structure which is to be constructed within such distance of an available connection, such connection shall be made, by a line running from such house, building or structure to such connection, at the expense of the owner, lessee or occupant, as specified in subsection (a) of this section. Such compulsory connection shall be further conditioned, however, upon there being available to the owner, lessee, or occupant a public water line within fifty (50) feet of the nearest outside wall of such house, building or structure, to which connection can be made and maintained for water supply upon compliance by such owner, lessee or occupant with the regulations and payments pertaining to water consumers; but if such water connection is available, such owner, lessee or occupant shall provide same, at his or own expense, to the extent necessary for the sewer connection.
