No unauthorized person shall uncover, make any connections with or opening
into, use, alter or disturb any public sewer or appurtenance thereof without
first obtaining a written permit from the Superintendent.
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
building sewer from the front building may be extended to the rear building
and the whole considered as one building sewer.
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.
No person shall make a connection of roof downspouts, exterior foundation
drains, areaway drains or other sources of surface runoff or groundwater to
a building sewer or building drain which, in turn, is connected, directly
or indirectly, to a public sanitary sewer.
The connection of the building sewer into the public sewer shall conform
to the requirements of the Building and Plumbing Code or other applicable
rules and regulations of the Town of Sweden. All such connections shall be
made gastight and watertight. Any deviations from the prescribed procedures
and materials must be approved by the Superintendent before installation.
The applicant for the building sewer connection into the public sewer
shall notify the Superintendent when the building sewer is ready for inspection
and connection to the public sewer. The connection shall be made under the
supervision of the Superintendent or his representative.
