What happens to the Los Osos property owners that don't hook-up to the sewer?

[Note: I originally sent the following email to, John Waddell, SLO County government project manager for the Los Osos sewer project, on 2/25/16, and cc'd it to several local media-types. Waddell never replied (again), and the media never asked one question or typed one keystroke involving this extremely important question.]

Hello John,

I'm researching a story, and I was just reading Peter Johnson's interesting article in New Times, at this link:

http://www.newtimesslo.com/news/13476/hooking-up-slo-county-and-department-of-agriculture-offer-sewer-subsidies-to-los-osos-property-owners/

... where he writes:

"Property owners have a cushion of six months to complete the work (of hooking up to the sewer) after receiving the notice."

That gets back to a question that I've been trying to get answered for a few years now, yet, I still don't have an answer, and the question is getting more and more pressing.

Again, my question involves this:

Property owners have a cushion of six months to complete the work (of hooking up to the sewer) after receiving the notice, or else... what?

What happens to the property owners (plural [and there are probably going to be many]) that -- for whatever reason (but, mainly, they can't afford it) -- simply refuse to hook up?

What ultimately happens to those people? Is that "forced out of their homes at gun-point by SLO County Sheriffs" time?

I mean, is there another option?

Again, I've been trying to get this questioned answered for about the past four or five years now, so, please, someone from the county, please answer:

What ultimately happens to the LOPZ property owners that refuse to hook up to the sewer?

As always, much thanks,

Ron
