nected With Sewer

The city council passed the sewer

cupied, must construct drain pipes to
connect all vaults, cesspools, water
closets, ETC., with the sewer.
The city marshal is made the sup
erintendent of sewers and to him is
given power to enforce all the pro-
visions of the ordinance. All sewer
connections must be made under the
superintendent direction, and a per-
nit must be obtained from him before
any connection is made. He is re-
quired to serve notice upon property
owners to make connections, and if
the parties so notified fails to obey
such notice within 80 days thereafter,
the city shall have the right to do the
work and charge the expense to the
property, and in addition thereto a
penalty of $25 for each connection.
The ordinance provides that rules
and specifications, setting forth the
material to be used and the method
of connecting the drain pipes to the
sewer, shall be compiled and all work
shall be done in accordance with those
rules and specifications.
