ARTICLE III. PRIVATE SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEMS

(a) If an existing structure is served by a privy, soil absorption system, or other previously authorized means of sewage disposal, and is damaged by fire or any other cause in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the physical value of the structure before the damage was incurred, as determined by the building official, or if the sewage disposal facility serving the structure fails, and if there is no possibility of installing an approved soil absorption or grinder pump system meeting the requirements of this chapter and the facilities of the county are not available, the building official, if so requested by the property owner or his representative, may allow the use of a pit privy or other means of sewage disposal provided the state health department shall approve the design and location of such facilities prior to the issuance of any building permits.

(b) For temporary use in the disposal of sewage, a temporary privy or portable toilet, approved by the health department, may be used for a temporary period as prescribed by the health officer.
