The authorized representative of the town may enter any premises to determine whether or not yard, garden or other private drainage facilities connect with the town sanitary sewage system. In the event he has determined that such connection exists, he shall give written notice to the owner or occupant of the premises ordering the disconnection thereof within thirty days. The person to whom such order has been given, shall, within said period of thirty days, notify the town, in writing, at the Hillsborough Town Hall, that such order has been complied with. In the event that the town does not receive such notification within the specified time, the town may terminate the connection after giving the owner or occupant ten days' written notice thereof (sent by registered mail), the notice to the owner to be addressed to the owner as the owner's name and address appear on the last equalized town assessment roll. In the event the town terminates the connection, the cost shall be borne by the owner of such premises, and it shall become a debt collectible by the town.
