The owner of any private sewage disposal system shall operate and maintain it in a sanitary manner at all times. If the private sewage disposal system is operated and maintained in an unsanitary manner, the director of public works, after due notice to the owner and a reasonable time given under the circumstances to correct the deficiency, may revoke the permit. When the deficiency is corrected, a new permit may be issued upon submission of a new application, payment of the application fee, and compliance with the other applicable requirements of LMC 14.44.040. Where soil becomes saturated and is not capable of holding effluent, the owner of the property shall connect to the public sewer. (Ord. 781 § 41, 1975; Ord. 147 § 4.08, 1963)
