enumerated below:

(a) Whenever the board of county commissioners of a county having a public
sewerage system determines that the county sewer line is within four hundred feet
of the boundary line of any premises located within the county and the board deems
it necessary for the protection of public health that the owners of one or more of
such premises shall connect their premises with the public sewer, thirty days'
notice in writing shall be given to said owners, by registered mail, notifying them to
connect their premises with the sewer, the date of the notice to begin as of the date
of registering the same for mailing.

(b) If the work of making the connection is not begun within thirty days, the
board shall notify the county engineer to prepare plans and specifications for
making the connection with the public sewer, including water and service pipe for
flushing purposes, if the owner has given notice and proof to said board of his
financial inability to make the connection himself and if it is only for the necessary
connection of a water closet or of a privy in an outhouse or both.
