sewer or appurtenance thereof without first obtaining a written permit
from the Superintendent.
All costs and expenses incidental to the installation
and connection of the building sewer shall be borne by the owner.
The owner shall indemnify the Village from any loss or damage that
may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation of the
building sewer.
A separate and independent building sewer shall
be provided for every building, except that where one building stands
at the rear of another on an interior lot and no private sewer is
available or can be constructed to the rear building through an adjoining
alley, court, yard, or driveway, the front building may be extended
to the rear building and the whole considered as one building sewer,
but the Village does not and will not assume any obligation or responsibility
for damage caused by or resulting from any such single connection
aforementioned.
Old building sewers may be used in connection
with new buildings only when they are found, on examination and test
by the Superintendent, to meet all requirements of this chapter.
Whenever possible, the building sewer shall
be brought to the building at an elevation below the basement floor.
In all buildings in which any building drain is too low to permit
gravity flow to the public sewer, sanitary sewage carried by such
building drain shall be lifted by an approved means and discharged
to the building sewer.
