It is unlawful for the owner or any other person occupying or having charge of any premises used for human occupancy, employment or recreation, or other purposes within the city limits, which premises are situated within three hundred feet (300') of a sewer and/or culinary water main to fail to install suitable toilet facilities therein, to fail to connect such facilities to the city sewer system as provided herein, to fail to connect to the city culinary water system as provided herein, or to dispose of sewage therefrom by any means other than by use of the city sewer system. Connection to the culinary water system shall not be required for existing buildings and structures serviced by wells in existence at the time culinary water lines are extended to within three hundred feet (300') of subject property. This provision shall not prohibit connection to neighboring municipalities’ water systems. If a property served by a well is permitted to connect to the city’s water and sewer system the city may require reasonable designs, plans, and inspection of the connections to ensure there is no cross-connection between the well and the public water system. It is unlawful to construct or continue the use of any other sewage disposal system, such as a privy, vault, cesspool or septic tank. Each such owner or other person shall, within ninety (90) days after having been given notice by the city that a public sewer and/or culinary water main is ready to receive connections therewith, cause such premises to be connected with said public utility services in accordance with the provisions of this title and other city ordinances.
