<br /> public sewer shall construct, use or maintain or allow to be con-
<br /> structed, used or maintained, on or about such property, any privy,
<br /> cesspool, water closet, urinal, slop sink, slop drain, bathtub, waste
<br /> drain, or any other apparatus for the purpose of receiving or
<br /> removing sewage matter or slop of any kind, unless the same is
<br /> connected with the sanitary sewer system of the City.
<br /> B. CONNECTION TO SEWERS REQUIRED
<br />
<br /> Every building containing plumbing, any portion of which is
<br /> within two hundred (200) feet of an available sewer, shall be
<br /> connected with a public sewer within six months after the owner,
<br /> leasee, or occupant thereof receives written notice from the Director
<br /> of Community Development to do so. For the purposes of this
<br /> provision, notice shall begin upon mailing of said notice by certified
<br /> or registered mail directed to owner, leasee or occupant.
<br /> Upon failure of said owner, leasee or occupant to connect said
<br /> premises to a public sewer, the Director of Community Development
<br /> shall have the right to make the connection of said premises to the
<br /> public sewer and charge the cost thereof, including labor and mate-
<br /> rials necessarily used, as well as any other expenses connected
<br /> therewith, against such owner, leasee or occupant, who shall be

<br /> cost to treat. This shall in no way prohibit the City of Paris, Paris,
