A.
Permit required for sewer connections. No unauthorized
person shall uncover, make any connection with or opening into, use,
alter, or disturb any public sewer or appurtenance thereof without
first obtaining a written permit from the Superintendent.
B.
Inflow/infiltration prohibited. No person shall discharge
or cause to be discharged any stormwater, surface water, groundwater,
roof runoff, subsurface drainage, uncontaminated cooling water or
unpolluted industrial waters to any sanitary sewer. Swimming pool
drains shall not be connected to any sanitary sewer.
C.
Discharge to storm sewers or natural outlets. Stormwater
and all other unpolluted drainage shall be discharged to such sewers
as are specially designated as storm sewers, or to a natural outlet
approved by the Superintendent. Industrial cooling water or unpolluted
process waters may be discharged, on approval of the Superintendent,
to a storm sewer or natural outlet.
B.
In either case, a permit application shall be submitted
to the Superintendent. The permit application shall be supplemented
by any plans, specifications, or other information considered pertinent,
in the judgment of the Superintendent. A fee, for residential, commercial,
institutional and industrial users, as established by the Village
Board, shall accompany the application.
C.
Connections to existing manholes shall be made as
directed by the Superintendent.
A.
New building laterals.
(1)
A separate and independent building lateral shall
be provided for every building requiring sanitary facilities. When,
however, there is a building behind a front building, the second building
may use the front building's building lateral, if there is no other
way to provide sanitary service to the back building.
(2)
New street laterals and/or building laterals shall
not go under building basements. In like fashion, a building shall
not be constructed over an existing lateral; the lateral shall be
relocated after the Superintendent has approved plans showing the
relocation. If relocation is not physically possible then the lateral
shall be:
(3)
All existing manholes in or under the basement shall
be sealed air-tight in a manner acceptable to the Superintendent.
No new manholes shall be constructed on the portion of the lateral
under the building.
B.
Dry sewers. Dry sewers shall be designed and installed
in accordance to this chapter.
Existing building laterals may be used in connection
with new buildings only when they are found, on examination by the
Superintendent, to meet all requirements of this chapter.
Building and street lateral pipe materials shall
in accordance with standards established in the Sewer Use Rules and
Standards Manual.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: The Sewer Use Rules and Standards
Manual is included at the end of this chapter.
A.
Future connection locations; as-built drawings. The
street lateral, including the wye and eighth bend fittings, shall
be connected to the main sewer at the time of constructing the main
sewer, for each proposed lot for either immediate or future development.
Laterals installed for future development shall be fitted with a standard
plug approved for use by the Superintendent. All sewer connections
shall be via a properly installed saddle on the main sewer pipe. No
portion of the lateral pipe shall protrude into the main sewer pipe.
The location of all lateral connections shall be field marked with
a two-inch by six-inch corrosion- and rot-resistant board. The marker
board shall extend from the depth of the lateral to a minimum of two
feet above grade. The location of all lateral connections shall be
indicated on a drawing with a minimum of three tie lines indicated.
Four copies of this drawing, showing the as-built location of these
connections, shall be furnished to the Superintendent. A refundable
deposit, at an amount per page established from time to time by the
Village Board, shall be placed with the Village to assure receipt
of these as-builts. The deposit shall be placed when application is
made. No sanitary sewer shall be accepted by the Village until four
copies of this record drawing have been so filed with the Superintendent
and the Superintendent has approved the submitted drawings.
B.
Special manhole requirements. When any street lateral is to serve a school, hospital, or similar institution, or public housing, or is to serve a complex of industrial or commercial buildings, or which, in the opinion of the Superintendent, will receive wastewater or industrial wastes of such volume or character that frequent maintenance of said building or street lateral is anticipated, then such street lateral shall be connected to the public sewer through a manhole. The Superintendent shall determine if and where this type of connection to the public sewer is required. Connections to existing manholes shall be made as directed by the Superintendent. If required, a new manhole shall be installed in the public sewer pursuant to §§ 235-32 and 235-77, and the lateral connection made thereto as directed by the Superintendent.
Building laterals at or near buildings shall
be installed in accordance with standards established in the Sewer
Use Rules and Standards Manual.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: The Sewer Use Rules and Standards
Manual is included at the end of this chapter.
In all buildings in which any building drain
is too low to permit gravity flow to the public sewer, wastewater
carried by such drain shall be lifted by mechanical means and discharged
to the building lateral, on approval of the Superintendent.
All excavations required for the installation
of a building or street lateral shall be open trench work unless otherwise
approved by the Superintendent in accordance with standards specified
in the Sewer Use Roles and Standards Manual.[1]

Manual is included at the end of this chapter.
A.
Watertight joints. All joints and connections shall
be made watertight.
B.
Cast iron pipe poured joints. Poured joints for cast
iron pipe shall be in accordance with standards established in the
Sewer Use Rules and Standards Manual.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: The Sewer Use Rules and Standards
Manual is included at the end of this chapter.
C.
Cast iron push joints. Premolded gaskets may be used
for hub and plain-end cast iron pipe joints and joints with fittings,
if approved by the Superintendent in accordance with standards established
in the Sewer Use Rules and Standards Manual.[2]

A.
Building lateral/street lateral connection.
(1)
Building laterals and street laterals shall be constructed
in accordance with standards established in the Sewer Use Rules and
Standards Manual.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: The Sewer Use Rules and Standards
Manual is included at the end of this chapter.
(2)
The cost of constructing the street lateral from the
existing public sewer to the property line shall be at the property
owner's expense; all subsequent costs and expense incidental to the
installation and connection of the building lateral shall also be
borne by the owner.
(3)
The property owner shall indemnify the Village from
any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by
the installation of the building lateral.
(4)
It shall be the responsibility of the property owner
to maintain, repair, or replace the building lateral, as needed.
(5)
The method of connection of the building lateral to
the street lateral will be dependent upon the type of sewer pipe material
and, in all cases, shall be approved by the Superintendent. After
installation of the street lateral has been approved by the Superintendent,
the new street lateral shall become the property of the Village. Any
subsequent repairs to the new street laterals shall be made by the
Village at the Village's expense.
B.
Cleanout repair/replacement. If, in the judgment of
the Superintendent, it is determined that a building lateral, without
a property line clean-out, needs repair or replacement, the Village
may install a clean-out at the property line, at the property owner's
expense, such that the street lateral can be maintained independently
of the building lateral.
The street lateral, building lateral, or the
combined lateral shall be tested for infiltration/exfiltration by:
A.
Connection inspection.
(1)
The applicant for the building lateral permit shall
notify the Superintendent when the building lateral is ready for inspection
and connection is to be made to the street lateral. The connection
shall be made under the supervision of the Superintendent.
(2)
The applicant for the street lateral permit shall
notify the Superintendent when the street lateral is ready for inspection
and connection is to be made to the main sewer. The connection shall
be made under the supervision of the Superintendent.
B.
Trench inspections. When trenches are excavated for
the laying of building lateral pipes or for laying of street lateral
pipes, such trenches shall be inspected by the Superintendent. Before
the trenches are backfilled, the person performing such work shall
notify the Superintendent when the laying of the building lateral
is completed, and no backfilling of trenches shall begin until approval
is obtained from the Superintendent.
All excavations for constructing building laterals shall be adequately protected with barricades and lights so as to protect the public from hazard. Streets, sidewalks, parkways, and other public property disturbed, in the course of the work, shall be restored in a manner satisfactory to the Superintendent. When installation requires disturbance of paved public roads and shoulders, restoration shall involve backfilling to road grade. Shortly thereafter, the Village Department of Public Works (DPW) shall complete road and shoulder restoration to the Village standards. The cost for such final road and shoulder restoration by the DPW shall be included with the fees paid with the application for the permit required in § 235-38.
A.
An interior clean-out fitting shall be provided for
each building lateral at a readily accessible location, preferably
just inside the basement wall. The fitting shall contain a forty-five-degree
branch with removable plug or test tee, and be so positioned that
sewer cleaning equipment can be inserted therein to clean the building
lateral.
B.
The cleanout diameter shall be no less than the building
lateral diameter.
All costs associated with the provisions of
this article shall be borne by the property owner unless specifically
stated or agreed to be a cost borne by the Village. The property owner
shall indemnify the Village from any loss or damage that may be directly
or indirectly occasioned by the installation of the building and street
laterals, and connections and appurtenances.
