It is unlawful for any person to cause, suffer or permit the disposal of sewage, human excrement or other liquid wastes, in any place or manner except through and by means of an approved plumbing and drainage system and an approved sewage disposal system installed and maintained in accordance with the provisions of the Chapter 15.20 of this code and this chapter.
B.
"Approved
sewage disposal system" means a system that is functioning satisfactorily
by disposing of all sewage underground.
(Prior code § 68.311)
The plumbing and drainage system of every building hereafter
constructed or reconstructed shall be connected to a public sewer
if the property on which such building is located abuts a public sewer.
When a public sewer is not available for use, the plumbing and drainage
system of a building shall be connected to an approved private subsurface
sewage disposal system. The type of system required shall be determined
on the basis of location, area, soil porosity, the groundwater level
and the density of population in the area and shall be designed to
receive and dispose of all sewage and liquid waste from the property
served.
(Prior code § 68.312)
No person shall maintain a septic tank, settling tank, cesspool
or other subsurface sewage disposal unit or system on any premises
adjacent to a public sewer; provided, however, that where a public
sewer is installed adjacent to premises upon which there is located
an existing building served by a septic tank, settling tank, cesspool
or other subsurface disposal unit or system, the director may approve
the continued use of such subsurface disposal system until such time
as he or she deems that the public health and sanitation require the
connection of such building to the public sewer and the discontinuance
of the use or maintenance of such subsurface disposal system.
(Prior code § 68.313)
Where the director determines it is probable that a public sanitary
sewer will become available to property within twenty-four months,
he or she may issue a permit to the owner of such property authorizing
the construction of a temporary sewage disposal facility provided
the permittee executes and records in the office of the county recorder
an agreement with the director providing:
A.
That
the permittee will connect the property to the sanitary sewer within
thirty days after it becomes available to the property;
B.
That,
if the sanitary sewer does not become available to the property within
a period of time specified by the director, the permittee will apply
for a permit for and construct a septic tank and sewage disposal system
in accordance with the provisions of this chapter;
C.
That the permittee will pump and remove all sewage from said temporary sewage disposal facility and fill said facility with soil or other material in a manner approved by the director at the time the property is connected to the sanitary sewer or a septic tank and sewage disposal system specified in subsection B of this section;
D.
That,
in the event the property is sold or transferred before the connection
of the property to the sanitary sewer is made, the agreement with
the director shall be made a part of the contract to sell or transfer
said property;
E.
That
the property will not be occupied until a sewage disposal facility
has been installed and approved by the director;
F.
That
the agreement with the director shall be binding upon the owner, his
or her heirs, administrators, executors, successors and assigns.
|
It is unlawful for any person by the terms of such agreement
to violate any provision of such agreement.
