The public drain is a public resource. .....

Yes it is "dictating" how a person lives, lives in regard only to the usage of the public conveyance or resource.....

Ummmmm, the fine is up to $25,000 PER DAY, and a LIFETIME ban on getting city water. Now unless the city allows you to drill your own well, install your own septic system, that sounds just a tad bit OVER THE TOP for a public resource. How will they police this ban?

Do you personally feel like your rights are stolen because it is demanded, dictated, tyrannically ordered that you drive on the right hand side of the road?

Respectfully, that example has nothing to do with this type of ordinance. If you drive on the wrong side of the road, you'll learn real quick why we have those "rules".....and the lesson may be your own life.

"How will they police this ban?"

Probably via building permits. I'd guess that the plumbing inspections should note that there are sink garbage disposals.

And then also a process of neighborhood investigation after a clogging incident in a public pipe.
