established in the Borough of Glenolden Plumbing Code.[1]
[Amended 6-13-1968 by Ord. No. 673,
approved 7-11-1968]
All sewage and liquid waste shall be disposed of in the Borough's
sanitary sewer system. This shall include pool wastewater except where the
same can be drained directly into a creek or a storm sewer without draining
onto or over the property of others. After obtaining a proper permit therefor
from the Plumbing Inspector, a pool shall be connected with the sanitary sewer
system by installing a four-inch-by-two-inch Y in the four-inch lateral sewer
line. The size of the line entering the sanitary sewer line from the discharge
side of the pump draining such pool will be governed by the capacity of said
pump but in no case shall exceed two inches. There shall be placed in said
discharge line a permanent disconnect system, and after pool is drained such
system must be disconnected and line plugged or sealed.
No bathing place shall be so located as to be within the influence of
the discharge of sewage or of injurious or objectionable industrial wastes.
