As used in this Code, "Health Officer" means the Waukesha County Health Department.
The Waukesha County Health Department may enact rules and regulations pertaining to health and sanitation which, when approved by the City Council, may be enforced within the city as city ordinances and violations thereof may be prosecuted by the Waukesha County Health Department.

Permit required. No person shall conduct within the city any business which has a tendency to create a public nuisance, except upon permit issued by the Health Officer and subject to such conditions as he may impose.
Definition. A business which has a tendency to create a public nuisance is one which, unless properly regulated, may create the condition creating a public nuisance as defined in Chapter 175, Nuisances, § 175-2 of this Code.
Enactment. This section is enacted pursuant to § 66.0415, Wis. Stats.
No person shall construct or maintain a rendering plant or engage in the business of disposing and rendering of the bodies of dead animals or parts thereof within the city.

Application for such permit shall be made in writing to the Council and shall be accompanied by such engineering data as may be necessary to determine the land affected, the changes contemplated and the effect that such changes shall have on the surrounding drainage basin. The Council shall investigate such application and determine whether the public interest is affected, and a permit shall be granted if it shall be determined that the change in drainage can be accomplished without causing undue injury to adjoining premises by flooding or by interfering with the natural drainage of the area. Permits may be conditioned upon the work being done in a manner that will avoid or minimize injury to other premises.
