Any person who is the owner, lessee or occupant of any premises having a toilet, privy,
or other plumbing fixture in a structure within 200 feet of a public sewer which abuts
or crosses any portion of the property or is contained in a public right-of-way that
abuts the property and is not an interceptor sewer or force main, shall connect with
the public sewer. If the sewage generated from such structure cannot be delivered
to the public sewer by gravity, then a sewage lift pump with the necessary appurtenances
(e.g., grinder pump) shall be installed as part of the building sewer. The owner,
occupant, or lessee of such premises shall secure all permits and pay all fees required
to make the connections provided for in this chapter. The health officer may suspend
this requirement for existing single-family residential units when there is an existing,
nonpolluting, private on-site wastewater system and there are site conditions such
as rock outcrops that impose extreme limits on construction of a building sewer.
