§ 1147.23. Septic Tank Elimination Assistance Program.  


Latest version.
  • A septic tank elimination assistance program is hereby established for the purpose of assisting residential customers in connection to the sewerage system, thereby eliminating septic tanks and other on-lot sewage treatment systems. The director is authorized to adopt regulations necessary to implement and administer the program. Notwithstanding any other sections of the city codes, the director's regulation may defer the payment of costs associated with connecting to the sewerage system. The regulation may also establish eligibility requirements and/or administrative fees for the program and may establish a loan program for residential customers to assist those customers with costs associated with removal or abandonment of septic tanks or other on-lot sewage treatment systems and the installation of service laterals, with repayment deferred until the property is sold, transferred, or no longer used as a private residence. Repayment of loans and deferred connection costs will be secured through a mortgage recorded against the property.
