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.
For properties where separate storm sewers are
available within 100 feet of the property line or where, in the judgment
of the Superintendent, sufficient natural drainage is available, connections
which contribute inflow to the sanitary sewers must be disconnected
in a fashion approved by the Superintendent prior to the sale of the
property or as directed 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.
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 enabled to take whatever action is necessary to determine the amount of inflow, including the requirement for installation of a control manhole. The property from which the inflow originated shall be billed for inflow according to Article
XII; however, the Village of Canton Board may cause a surcharge at a rate not to exceed three times that for normal sewage volume charge.
