(a) All buildings used or occupied as a dwelling, all public buildings, all places of assembly, and all buildings generating wastewater or with toilets, sinks, drains, or other plumbing fixtures capable of conveying wastewater, shall be connected to a wastewater system. In addition, any new building capable of generating wastewater shall be connected to a wastewater system which meets the requirements of this rule.

If the property owner has replaced a privately -owned gang cesspool with an Individual Wastewater System ( "IWS ") within the past ten years, the property owner may opt to retain that IWS without connecting to the public sewer system, without paying public sewer fees or connection charges, for up to ten years from the date of completion of the IWS. Thereafter, the property owner shall connect to the public sewer system, pay the connection fees, and the monthly fees for use of the public sewer system to the appropriate agency."
