17.38.702    DISPOSAL OF EXCREMENT

(1) All human excrement in towns and cities, incorporated or unincorporated, must be disposed of in sewers, cesspools or vaults. All other human excrement shall be disposed of into dry soil either in privy vaults or through treating tanks and distribution tile.

(2) No privy vault, cesspool or other reservoir into which a privy vault, water closet, stable or sink is drained, except it be water-tight, shall be permitted within 100 feet of any well, spring or other source of water used for drinking or culinary purposes; nor shall any such open into any stream, ditch or drain, except common sewers; nor shall any such be drained into an underground flow of water or water stratum which is used as a source of domestic water supply. The use of abandoned wells as cesspools is expressly prohibited.

(3) All drains carrying domestic sewage containing human or animal excrement passing within 100 feet of any source of domestic water supply shall be water-tight. No privy or distribution tile shall be within 100 feet of the stream unless the slope is decidedly away from the stream.

(4) All privies shall be of fly-proof construction, located in well drained land, pits or vaults to be dug into dry soil on land which is level or sloping away from the stream.

(5) All privies shall be kept in a sanitary condition, the privy moved as frequently as deemed necessary to maintain this condition. When a privy is moved, the old vault shall be treated with chloride of lime applied abundantly and then covered with earth and filled to form a mound.
