At such time as a public sewer becomes available to a property served by a private sewage disposal system, as provided in this chapter, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer in compliance with this chapter, and any private septic tanks, cesspools, and similar private sewage disposal facilities shall be properly abandoned and filled with suitable materials. For the purposes of this section, “available” means that a public sewer line is within two hundred feet of the lot or parcel to be served. Should an existing private system fail or be in need of replacement or repair in excess of fifty percent of its value said system shall be properly abandoned and a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer.
