Los Altos Municipal Code Art. 4 Mandatory Sewer Service

The maintenance or use of cesspools or other local means of sewage disposal constitute a public nuisance. All buildings inhabited or used by human beings shall be connected with the sewerage system of the city within ninety (90) days from the time when such connection can be made, if the building to be served is within one hundred (100) feet of the system.

(Ord. 08-328 § 5 (part))

Premises as to which charges have become delinquent shall be disconnected. The person in charge of the sewer system shall estimate the cost of disconnection of such premises from the enterprise and the cost of reconnecting it thereto, and such user shall deposit the cost as estimated of disconnection and

reconnection before such premises are reconnected to the sewer system. The amount of the cost of disconnection and reconnection over the deposit shall constitute a charge and be collected as such. The amount of the deposit not used shall be repaid or applied as a deposit.

(Ord. 08-328 § 5 (part))

During the period of non-connection or disconnection, habitation of such premises by human beings shall constitute a public nuisance, whereupon the council shall cause proceedings to be brought for the abatement of the occupancy of said premises by the human beings. In such event, a reasonable attorney's fee shall become due as a penalty for nonpayment.
