13.10.010 Purpose.
It is hereby declared to be in the interest of the public health and welfare that all sanitary facilities within the limits of the town of Hunts Point shall be connected to the facilities of the Bellevue sewer district within a reasonable time after their establishment and availability in order to avoid pollution of the land and of Lake Washington surrounding the town. Therefore, in exercise of its police power and in furtherance of those objectives, the ordinance codified in this chapter is enacted. [Ord. 37 § 1, 1959]
13.10.020 Required.
Every owner, lessor, or possessor of any dwelling, building or other structure within the limits of the town of Hunts Point shall, within 180 days of the facilities of the Bellevue sewer district being made available to such property, connect all sinks, toilets, household drains and other sanitary facilities to said sewer facilities. Service shall be presumed available from the time the Bellevue sewer district first makes a service charge to said property. [Ord. 37 § 2, 1959]
13.10.030 Unconnected structures prohibited.
It shall thereafter be unlawful for any person, corporation, association or other lawful entity to own, lease, rent, maintain or use any such dwelling, building or other structure having in or on it a sanitary facility unconnected to the sewer district facility which discharges waste, household water, garbage, human or animal waste, or other sewage into septic tanks or into the waters of Lake Washington or its tributaries either directly or by percolation. The existence of any sanitary facility unconnected to available facilities of the Bellevue sewer district shall be presumed to violate this section unless rebutted by competent evidence to the contrary. [Ord. 37 § 3, 1959]
