Section 710.2 adopted by this chapter is amended by adding the following paragraph:

In addition to the alarm requirements of section 710.9 a hardwired generator capable of running the system and alarm with battery backup during power outages shall be required for the health and safety of the occupants. This applies to homes or commercial buildings when the entire sanitary sewer system discharges by means of a sewage ejector, pump or other approved electrical/mechanical device. A permanent placard explaining the purpose and operating instructions of the generator shall be posted in an approved location. The operation of the generator shall be done with an appropriate transfer switch installed per the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local requirements. Pre-wiring for a generator without the installation of one is not sufficient to meet this requirement.
