(a) Except as provided in subsection (c) of this section, it shall be mandatory for all structures susceptible to being or currently being a source from which sewage may be or is being generated, to be connected to the public sewage system; provided, that any part of the structure is or is to be within two hundred (200) feet of an existing public sewer main adjacent to the property line in a right-of-way or other applicable easement (on either side of the right-of-way or easement). Such distance shall be measured by a straight line notwithstanding the possible impracticality of such being the necessary distance of line being required.

(b) It shall be mandatory for the owner, operator, or users of a private sewer system to a structure to arrange and to pay for connection of said structure to the available municipal sewer system and the abandonment of the on-site sewer system no longer being utilized. Connections and extensions to the City sewer system and abandonment of the old on-site sewer system shall be as specified by ordinances and regulations of the City of Kenai, and applicable law and regulation of the state of Alaska relating to use of and connection to public sewer systems and abandonment of old on-site sewer systems.

(c) If a property owner does not connect to a public sewer main in a location that otherwise requires a property owner to connect as described above, the property owner shall pay the applicable sewer fee based on the use of the structure as if connected.

(d) If a sewer service customer has the reasonable possibility they will produce grease or oil-laden wastes, the customer’s facility shall be provided with interceptors as required in the plumbing code. This includes any establishment that uses a deep fat fryer or cooking grease or oil. Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of City, they are necessary for the proper handling of wastewater containing grease and oil, or sand. All interception units shall be of type and capacity approved by the Building Official and shall be so located to be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Such interceptors shall be inspected, cleaned, and repaired regularly, as needed, by the user at the customer’s expense. The sewer service customer is required to keep an interceptor inspection, cleaning, and repair log which contains information as to the date, time, what is removed, quantity removed, who removed the material and how, when, and where the material from the interceptor is disposed of.
