Sec. 17-81. - Garbage disposal units.

(a)

No garbage disposal unit shall be installed without first having obtained a permit from the director of public works.

(b)

Any person desiring to install a garbage disposal unit shall first make application in writing to the director upon a form provided by him for that purpose, which application shall state the name and address of the applicant, the address of the premises in which such installation is desired, and a general description of the premises and the existing sewer system within the premises affected.

(c)

Upon the filing of such application, the director shall within a reasonable time cause the premises and their available sewer system to be inspected and surveyed and from the findings so obtained determine upon such change or alteration in such system, as in his opinion shall be necessary, before issuing an approval of the application. No such approval shall be issued in any instance where the capacity of the public sewer system within the particular sewer district shall be insufficient, or where the additional demand and service caused by the use of such garbage disposal unit shall be likely to impair the efficiency of such sewer system. A reasonable time in this case shall be considered to mean no more than two weeks from the date of application.
