§ 74-63. Connection required to existing sewer collection facilities.
Latest version.
Connection to the sewer collection facilities of the city by a property owner, where
such service is available within the municipal boundaries of the city, shall be mandatory
for each lot or parcel of land except unimproved and unused property. Connections
to existing improved properties shall not be mandatory when the nearest sewer collection
facilities (sewer line) are more than 100 feet from the closest point of the subject
property. Should an existing improved property be proposed to connect to a sewer service,
then all existing and proposed future buildings and all other wastewater generators
on the property shall be required to be connected at that time as well. No person
shall be required to cross the private property of another to make connection to the
sewer collection facilities of the wastewater treatment system unless there exists
an appropriate easement or right-of-way. At the time connection is mandatory by the
city manager or his designee, such owner shall become liable for payment of all applicable
development fees, connection charges and/or other fees, charges and deposits as may
be established by ordinance or resolution by the city council.
