(a) It is unlawful for any property owner to construct, erect, install, maintain or permit any pit privy on any property within the city to which a sewer connection is available. Where a sewer connection is made available, the privy must be removed and connection shall be established. Such sewer connection shall not be required if, prior to 1962, a connection was made with a septic tank of a design approved by the state.
(b) No pit shall be located within three hundred yards of the residence of anyone other than the owner of the premises on which it is located. If located within three hundred yards of any residence, every pit privy must be operated strictly according to the U.S. Public Health Service standards. Not more than two family units may use any one pit privy. No open or surface type privy shall be permitted in the city.
(c) All construction or building being carried on within the city where sewerage is not available shall provide temporary pit privies for employees using a standard ditch. When work is complete, such temporary accommodations shall be cleared away, removing all health hazards. (Prior code § 4-1-52)
