following procedure shall be employed:
When it is determined that the owners of real property are within a
distance of three hundred feet (300') of any public drain, sanitary
main or sanitary lateral sewer, the City's Health Department shall
notify such property owners of such fact and tell such owners that
they have ninety (90) days in which to connect with said sanitary
sewer and to remove any and all privies and cess pools. At the end
of such ninety (90) days period of time, each such owner that has
not complied with such request and notice shall be sent a mandatory
thirty (30) days notice by the Health Department to the same effect
except the owner shall have only thirty (30) days in which to connect
with said sanitary sewer and remove any privies or cess pools.
Failure to comply with such latter thirty (30) days notice shall be a
violation of the terms and provisions of this ordinance and each day
such failure shall continue shall constitute a separate offense.

conflict with the terms of this ordinance are hereby repealed; provided however,
that such repeal shall be only to the extent of such inconsistency and in all other
respects this ordinance shall be cumulative of other ordinances regulating and
governing the subject matter covered by this ordinance.
