Legal Documents of Mosheim

At such time as a sewer becomes available to a property served by a private wastewater disposal system, a direct connection shall be made within thirty (30) days to the public sewer. The sewer shall be considered available when the first floor of the building above or on ground level can be served by the sewer line in accordance with the Town of Mosheim's rules and regulations and general practice. When sewer is available, it will be presumed that the wastewater from the premises is discharged either directly or indirectly into the sewer, and the property shall be billed for sewage service. However, if the making of connection is delayed, the property shall be subject to such charges thirty (30) days after sewer is accepted by the Town of Mosheim. Any septic tanks, cesspools, and similar private wastewater disposal facilities shall be abandoned. An extension of time may be granted by the mayor for cause. Private disposal systems will not be approved if sewer is determined to be available by the town. (Ord. #221, April 2010)
