All costs and expenses incidental to the installation,
connection and maintenance of the building sewer shall be borne by
the owner. The owner shall be responsible for the maintenance of the
building sewer to the wye at the main sewer regardless of the location
of the main line sewer. The owner shall indemnify the Town from any
loss or damage the Town sustains that may directly or indirectly be
occasioned by the installation, connection and maintenance of the
building sewer.
The plumbing system of each building shall have
a separate and independent connection with the public sewer wherever
possible. Where one building stands in the rear of another on an interior
lot and no connection to a sewer is available or can be made through
an adjoining alley, court, yard or driveway, the building sanitary
drain from the building on the front of the lot may be extended to
the building on the rear of the lot. A separate application shall
be made for each building.
Old building sewers may be used in connection
with new buildings only when they are found on examination and test
by the Town Engineer to meet all requirements of this chapter.
