Where sewer service is available new development shall connect to the county sewer
system. Where service becomes available by virtue of extending the county system to
serve other subdivisions or neighborhoods, connection to the county sewer system shall
not be mandatory. All premises, buildings or dwelling units connected directly to
the HRSD system may elect not to connect to the sewer system, however, payment of
all remaining balances of applicable fees and charges owed to the county shall be
required. Sewer is deemed to be available to the property to be connected if service
can be provided without unreasonable cost or unusual construction techniques. Availability
of sewer may be declared by the director of utility services based on costs to provide
service, construction techniques or other unusual conditions. (5-21-09; Ord. No. 2013-11-C,
