§ 86-2. Compulsory connection to sewer and water.

(a)

Notice to connect. Whenever sewer and water becomes available to any building used for human habitation, the building inspector shall notify in writing the owner, agent or occupant thereof to connect all facilities thereto required by the building inspector. If such person to whom the notice has been given shall fail to comply within 30 days after the notice, the building inspector shall cause the necessary connections to be made and the expense shall be assessed as a special tax against the property pursuant to Wis. Stats. § 281.45.

(b)

Abatement of privies and cesspools. After connection to a water main and public sewer no privy, privy vault or cesspool shall be constructed or maintained upon such lot or parcel and shall be abated upon 30 days' written notice for such abatement by the building inspector. If not so abated, the building inspector shall cause the abatement to be done, and the costs shall be assessed as a special tax against the property.

(c)

Extension of time; other temporary relief. The village board or building inspector may extend the time for connection or may grant other temporary relief where strict enforcement would work an unnecessary hardship without corresponding public or private benefit.

(d)

Unavailable sewer and water mains. Where sewer and water mains are not available, a surface privy, cesspool or dry closet may not be constructed or maintained on any lot or parcel.
