§ 44. Connection with sewer
After the system of sewers has been constructed as provided in section 43 of this
charter, each and every owner of a house in the Village of Cambridge situate upon
a street, alley, or lane through which a main sewer has been constructed shall cause
to be constructed under the direction of the Board of Trustees a sewer or drain from
the owner’s house to the main sewer, so constructed as to take all slops and filth
from any sink, bowl, water closet, or privy in or around the house and discharge the
same into the main sewer, and in case any person or corporation owning a house in
the Village shall fail or neglect to construct the branch sewer from the house, it
shall be the duty of the Board of Trustees to give the person notice in writing, recorded
by the Clerk, requiring the owner to build the branch sewer from the premises to the
main sewer; and in case the person does not so construct the branch sewer within 30
days from the time of receiving the notice, it shall be the duty of the Board of Trustees
to declare the premises a nuisance, and the Board of Trustees is authorized and empowered
to enter upon the premises and properly construct the branch sewer, and the person
upon whose premises the branch sewer has been so constructed by the Board of Trustees
shall pay to the Treasurer of the corporation upon the completion of the work all
expense that the Board of Trustees has incurred in the construction of the branch
sewer, and in case the person neglects to pay the same, the corporation shall have
action founded on this statute to recover such expense, and the premises shall be
holden for the payment of any judgment received in the action, and no homestead shall
be exempt from attachment and execution in the action. (Amended 2023, No. 6, § 293, eff. July 1, 2023.)
