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 perimeter drains, sump pumps, catch basins,
uncontaminated cooling water discharges, or other sources of inflow.
The Village of Pulaski stormwater collection system, where applicable, is equipped with designated stormwater lateral pipes consisting of a four-inch diameter flexible, corrugated polyethylene (CPE) pipe equipped with end cap. Lateral pipes generally terminate at front property lines or at edge of Village stormwater drainage easements. The presence of and locations of stormwater lateral pipes may be obtained from the Superintendent. Stormwater lateral pipes are intended to accept inflow sources as defined in Article
II, and are available for property owner's use in connecting inflow sources to the storm sewer system. No sanitary waste shall be connected to the stormwater lateral.
Prior to such time as any property having sanitary
sewer service is sold or ownership is transferred, the current owner
shall notify the Superintendent of such pending sale or transfer.
The Superintendent shall inspect such property for the purpose of
determining if any connections which contribute inflow to the Village's
sanitary sewer exist. Any such connections so identified shall be
removed and remedied to the satisfaction of the Superintendent prior
to such sale or transfer.
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 Village reserves the right to periodically
inspect or reinspect any property for the existence of inflow connections
or sources to the sanitary sewer.
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 Pulaski Board of Trustees may cause a surcharge at a rate not to exceed five times that for normal sewage volume charge.
Should it be determined that a violation of this article has occurred, the penalties and enforcement procedures set forth in Article
XI of this chapter may be implemented. The terms and conditions of said article shall apply to the violations of Article
XII.
