§ 110-115. Requests for service.

(a)

Authorization for service. Connections to the sewage disposal system, either direct or indirect, in the unincorporated area must be authorized by the county in advance of the connections. However, connections to the sewage disposal system within any service area designated by separate resolution of the board of county commissioners shall be mandatory for all development unless otherwise provided in this article.

(b)

Connections to sewers. Where service laterals have been provided, the customer shall pay the entire expense of connection to the facilities within his property. Where service laterals have not been provided, the customer shall be responsible for payment of all costs of the connection from the existing sewer to the facilities within his property unless otherwise provided in this article. All such connections shall be subject to inspection by authorized personnel of the governmental agency having jurisdiction. In addition, the customer shall pay all connection and construction connection charges, if any.

(c)

Service availability from existing systems. Sewer service to any structure upon any given property shall only be rendered from county-owned sewers in public rights-of-way abutting the property. The determination as to the availability of service from existing facilities shall be at the sole discretion of the county. The county shall have the right to require extensions of its facilities for proper service or to require such permanent legal agreements which the county deems necessary in order to carry out the intent of this section.
