the application on a special form furnished by the Village. Their
permit application shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications

All costs and expense incident to the installation
and connection of the building sewer shall be borne by the owner.
The owner shall pay for and 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 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
a separate building sewer.
Old building sewers may be used in connection
with new buildings only when they are found, on examination and test
by the Village Engineer, to meet all requirements of this chapter.
Medium- or standard-weight cast-iron soil pipe,
or PVC SDR 35, ABS Schedule 80, or other equal material approved by
the Water/Wastewater Department shall be permitted in the building
sewer. Joints shall be gastight and watertight. If installed in filled
or unstable ground, the building sewer shall be of ductile-iron soil
pipe, except than nonmetallic material may be accepted if laid on
a suitable concrete bed or cradle as approved by the Water/Wastewater
Department. Bedding material is to be placed in the trench so as to
obtain equal support for all sections of pipe.
The size and slope of the building sewer shall
be subject to the approval of the Water/Wastewater Department, but
in no event shall the diameter be less than four inches. The slope
of such four-inch pipe shall be not less than 1/8 inch per foot, nor
more than 1/2 inch per foot, or as may be required.
The depth shall be sufficient to afford protection
from frost. The sewer shall be a minimum of 3.5 feet deep and have
at least an eight-foot horizontal separation or an eighteen-inch vertical
separation from any water line. If this is impossible, the sewer shall
be ductile iron mechanical joint pipe. No building sewer shall be
laid parallel to or within three feet of any bearing wall which might
thereby be weakened, The building sewer shall be laid at uniform grade
and in straight alignment, insofar as possible. Changes in direction
shall be made only with properly curved pipe and fittings. Where horizontal
bends of more than 11 1/4° are required, cleanouts of a type
approved by the Water/Wastewater Department are to be installed.
In all buildings in which any building drain
is too low to permit gravity flow to the public sewer, sanitary sewage
carried by such drain shall be lifted by approved artificial means
and discharged to the building sewer, and the cost of installing such
artificial means shall be paid by the improvement where the aforesaid
building drain was in place and in existence as of the time that the
public sewer is installed. The cost of repairs, replacing, maintenance
and utilities shall be paid by the owner. The cost of installation,
maintenance, repair and replacement of any artificial means of lifting
sanitary sewage from a building drain to the public sewer, as well
as the utility costs incurred in the operation thereof, which artificial
means are made necessary by the construction and installation of building
drains subsequent to the installation of the public sewer shall be
paid by the owner of the premises on which any such building drain
is located.
All excavations required for the installation
of a building sewer shall be open-trench work unless otherwise approved
by the Water/Wastewater Department. Pipe laying and backfill shall
be performed in accordance with the section of the construction specifications
for the Village of Saugerties sewer improvement entitled "Excavation,
Trenching and Backfilling for Utilities Systems."

all costs associated with such construction, repair or maintenance.

shall be approved by the Water/Wastewater Department Superintendent
and upon submittal of a proper application by the property owner.
B.
Repairs to any sewer laterals from the property line to the sewer
main that exceeds a depth of eight feet shall be at the expense of
the improvement area, and the depth shall be verified by the Village

lateral pipes, such trenches shall be inspected by the Village Engineer
or his deputy or representative before the trenches are filled, and
the plumber performing such work shall notify the Water/Wastewater
Department when the laying of house sewer is completed. If a trench
is filled before inspection is made, the plumber to whom a permit
is issued must reexcavate the trench to permit the required inspection.

shall be adequately guarded with barricades and lights so as to protect
the public from hazard. Streets, sidewalks, parkways and other public
property disturbed in the course of the work shall be restored in
a manner satisfactory to the Village.
