Each unit must be connected to the village sanitary sewer system, subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations.
Section 127-35 of Groton's Code of Ordinances establishes that every rental unit within the village must be connected to the municipal sanitary sewer system. This connection requirement is subject to any other applicable laws, rules, and regulations that may govern how such connections are made or maintained. The provision sets a baseline infrastructure standard for all units covered under Chapter 127.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 127-35, compliant operators ensure that each rental unit in their property is actively connected to Groton's village sanitary sewer system before the unit is occupied. Landlords generally verify that the connection meets all other applicable local, state, and federal regulations governing sewer hookups. Maintaining documentation of the sewer connection can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this requirement.

Section 127-35 gives tenants a basis to expect that their unit is properly connected to the village sanitary sewer system as a condition of the rental. If a unit appears to lack a proper sewer connection, tenants may consider raising this as a code-compliance concern with the appropriate village authority responsible for enforcing Chapter 127. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what steps are generally available when a unit may not meet this infrastructure standard.
