a.No person shall occupy any lot, piece or parcel of land within the City without an adequate and sanitary toilet or privy located thereon unless an equally effective alternative system approved by the City Manager or his/her designee is located and operational on said lot, piece, or parcel of land.

b.It shall be unlawful and a nuisance for any person owning any real property within the City, which property fronts upon a street in which there is laid a sanitary sewer or otherwise has reasonable access to such a sewer line, to maintain, keep or use, or permit to be maintained, kept or used, any privy, privy vault, cesspool, or septic tank, unless said privy, privy vault, cesspool, or septic tank is connected to said sanitary sewer line in a sanitary manner, except that when the City Manager or designee finds the existing system to be adequately functioning in a sanitary manner and not constituting a health hazard to any person, said system shall be allowed to remain separate from the sanitary sewer system. If at any time said nonsewered system fails or ceases to function in a sanitary manner, connection to the sewer shall be mandatory. (Ord. 3579 § 2, 2018)
