§ 82-460. Connection—By contributing consumers.

(a)

After sanitary sewer lines have been constructed and tied into the county sewerage system, each abutting property owner who has contributed to the costs of construction through assessment may seek a service connection.

(b)

To make such a connection, the property owner shall hire, at his own expense, a plumber or contractor to lay pipe from the building drain to the stub-out provided by the city.

(c)

Before the service line can be connected to the sanitary sewer, the owner shall secure a permit from the city by paying a plumbing fee and a sewer tap fee; provided, the service line then passes the inspection criteria of the water and wastewater department, the owner may have it connected into the sewerage system.

(d)

When no stub-out or other means of connection is provided so as to service the building drain, it shall be the responsibility of the water and wastewater department to provide a stub-out for the property owner at no cost.

(e)

Sewer contractors shall not tap any sanitary sewer mains or manholes within the jurisdiction of the department without prior authorization from the department.
