No connections shall be made to a sanitary sewer which connections
are intended to discharge inflow. Such prohibited connections include,
but are not limited to, footing drains, roof leaders, roof drains,
cellar drains, sump pumps, catch basins, uncontaminated cooling water
discharges or other sources of inflow.
Connections which contribute inflow to the sanitary sewers must
be disconnected in a fashion approved by the Superintendent.
Upon notice from the Tax Assessor, the Superintendent shall
inspect any newly sold property for the purpose of determining if
storm sewers or natural drainage is available and, if so, if all connections
which contribute inflow have been disconnected. No tax search shall
be issued for the sale of any real property without obtaining an inspection.
It shall be a willful violation of this chapter for any person
to reconnect any inflow source which has been disconnected pursuant
to this article.
The Superintendent is empowered to take whatever action is necessary to determine the amount of inflow, including requiring the installation of a control manhole by the owner. The property from which the inflow originated shall be billed for inflow according to Article XII; however, the Village Board may cause a surcharge at a rate not to exceed five times that for normal sewage volume charge.
