to be designated by the Plumbing Inspector where it shall be capped
by an expandable plug at that end.
The pipe used for the installation of a dry house connection
shall be of a type and shall be laid in accordance with the provisions
of this Part 2, the Plumbing Code,[1] and all other ordinances, both of the Borough Council
and of the Board of Health of the Borough of Ho-Ho-Kus.
No portion of the dry house connection shall be backfilled until
the same has been inspected and approved by the Plumbing Inspector
in accordance with the Plumbing Code[1] of the Borough of Ho-Ho-Kus.
Upon official notice requiring connecting with the public sanitary sewer, in accordance with Chapter 56, Part 1, Article I, of the Code of the Borough of Ho-Ho-Kus, final connection of the dry house connection with the public sanitary sewer shall be made, and the following steps shall be taken:

Prior to the final connection of the dry house connection with the
house drain, the expandable plug heretofore installed shall be removed,
and the entire length of the dry house connection shall be completely
flushed and cleaned in the presence of the Plumbing Inspector if,
in his opinion, this is necessary.
C.
Reasonable notice of the date and time when such flushing will be
performed shall be given to the Plumbing Inspector, and no flushing
