ARTICLE III. SEWERS Page 1 of 12 Fill :49 DAI=1111II ATIrl=11:it1 Sec. 39-51. Mandatory connections. All buildings or other structures which contain any plumbing fixtures and which are located within any sewer district or district serviced by a public sewer must be connected to a public sewer. Whenever any property shall be included in a sewer district or area served by a public sewer, every building or other structure located on such property and containing any plumbing fixtures shall, within ninety (90) days after completion of the public sewer in such district or area, have all such fixtures connected to the said public sewer, and all cesspools or septic tanks on such property shall be disconnected and completely filled with good, sound earth at the time the sewer connection is made; provided, however, if the property has been, previous to its inclusion in a sewer district, connected to a public sewer and if such connection is approved by the director of public works, said connection shall be considered as complying with the provisions of this section. (Code 1952, § 7500) Sec. 39-52. Connection outside of a sewer district; permit required. Any lot or any building or structure on any lot located within the city, but outside of an existing sewer district or area served by a public sewer, may be connected with a public sewer, but no person shall make any such connection unless and until he shall have been granted a sewer permit for such connection and unless and until said person or the owner of said lot or parcel or his duly authorized agent, shall have paid to the director of public works an amount equal to that which would have been assessed to said lot or parcel had it been in the district assessed for the existing sewer to which said connection is to be made. Said amount may be reduced at the discretion of the director of public works to allow for extra length of house sewer or connecting sewer necessary. (Code 1952, § 7501) Sec. 39-53. Connection permit required; determination of fee. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b) hereinbelow, no person shall make any sewer connection unless a permit therefor shall have been applied for and issued by the director of public works. No permit for such connection shall be issued by the director of public works as provided in this section unless the application therefor is accompanied by the payment of a fee to the city in an amount which the director of public works shall determine to be said applicant's proportionate share of the cost of construction of such public sewer, as prescribed in subsection (c). (b) Whenever a main sewer line is replaced by a new line, the laterals connected to the former line shall be connected to the new line as part of the installation thereof. In such event no permit shall be required from the owner or occupant of any existing premises thus reconnected. (c) The sewer connection fee for the applicant's proportionate share of the cost of public sewer construction shall be computed on the following basis: (1) The fee shall be an amount equal to the assessment per fixture unit, multiplied by the net increase in fixture units on the parcel or parcels for which sewer connection application is made over the total fixture units previously serviced by any sewer line to which such parcel or parcels were connected.
