No connections shall be made to a sanitary or to a combined
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.
Any connections which contribute inflow to the sanitary sewers
must be disconnected by the property owner in a fashion approved by
the Superintendent within 30 days of notification to the property
owner by the Superintendent. Failure to comply with this requirement
shall constitute a violation of this chapter and shall be subject
to appropriate enforcement actions.
Upon direction from the Town Board, the Tax Assessor shall notify
the Superintendent of property sales. Within 30 days of receiving
notice, 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. Any violations noted during inspection shall be
corrected within 30 days at the expense of the property owner.
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.
