[Amended 7-24-2000 by L.L.
No. 2-2000]
The owners of all houses, buildings or properties used for human occupancy,
employment, recreation or other purpose situated within the improvement boundaries
are hereby required, at their expense, to install suitable plumbing facilities
therein and to connect such facilities directly with the proper public sewer
in accordance with the provisions of this chapter within 180 days after the
date of official notice to do so, and any septic tanks, cesspools and similar
private sewage disposal facilities shall be cleaned of sludge and liquid,
abandoned and filled with suitable material within 90 days after connection
to the public sanitary sewer of the improvement. Failure to properly abandon
a private facility in the specified time frame shall be a violation of this
section and subject to a fine of $10 per day for the first 30 days from notification
of a violation and $25 per day thereafter until the violation is corrected.
Owners of premises upon which a commercial car wash is operated and
the operators of any such car washes may, if the premises on which any such
car washes are located have adequate and satisfactory sewerage facilities
to dispose of the water used in the car wash, continue to use such sewerage
facilities solely to dispose of the water used in actually washing vehicles,
but must separate the plumbing facilities for that water from the plumbing
facilities carrying all other forms of sewage and connect the latter plumbing
facilities directly with the proper public sewer in accordance with all the
provisions of this chapter. The owner and/or operator of any car wash continuing
to use a private sewage system as aforesaid shall separate the pipes supplying
water to the actual vehicle-washing operation from all water lines to the
premises on which said car wash operations are located and shall, at his own
cost, connect the pipes supplying water to the actual vehicle-washing operation
to a separate water meter so that the quantity of water used in the actual
car wash operation is separately metered and measured.
