A. 
Permit required for sewer connections. No unauthorized person shall uncover, make any connection with or opening into, use, alter, or disturb any public sewer or appurtenance thereof without first obtaining a written permit from the Superintendent.
B. 
Inflow/infiltration prohibited. No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any stormwater, surface water, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, uncontaminated cooling water or unpolluted industrial waters to any sanitary sewer. Swimming pool drains shall not be connected to any sanitary sewer.
C. 
Discharge to storm sewers or natural outlets. Stormwater and all other unpolluted drainage shall be discharged to such sewers as are specially designated as storm sewers, or to a natural outlet approved by the Superintendent. Industrial cooling water or unpolluted process waters may be discharged, on approval of the Superintendent, to a storm sewer or natural outlet.
A. 
There shall be two classes of sewer lateral permits:
(1) 
For residential, commercial, and institutional service;
(2) 
For service to establishments producing industrial wastes.
B. 
In either case, a permit application shall be submitted to the Superintendent. The permit application shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications, or other information considered pertinent, in the judgment of the Superintendent. A fee, for residential, commercial, institutional and industrial users, as established by the Village Board, shall accompany the application.
C. 
Connections to existing manholes shall be made as directed by the Superintendent.
A. 
New building laterals.
(1) 
A separate and independent building lateral shall be provided for every building requiring sanitary facilities. When, however, there is a building behind a front building, the second building may use the front building's building lateral, if there is no other way to provide sanitary service to the back building.
(2) 
New street laterals and/or building laterals shall not go under building basements. In like fashion, a building shall not be constructed over an existing lateral; the lateral shall be relocated after the Superintendent has approved plans showing the relocation. If relocation is not physically possible then the lateral shall be:
(a) 
Exposed and totally encapsulated in not less than three inches of concrete; or
(b) 
Exposed and walled and the building rooms above positively ventilated outdoors.
(3) 
All existing manholes in or under the basement shall be sealed air-tight in a manner acceptable to the Superintendent. No new manholes shall be constructed on the portion of the lateral under the building.
B. 
Dry sewers. Dry sewers shall be designed and installed in accordance to this chapter.
A. 
Future connection locations; as-built drawings. The street lateral, including the wye and eighth bend fittings, shall be connected to the main sewer at the time of constructing the main sewer, for each proposed lot for either immediate or future development. Laterals installed for future development shall be fitted with a standard plug approved for use by the Superintendent. All sewer connections shall be via a properly installed saddle on the main sewer pipe. No portion of the lateral pipe shall protrude into the main sewer pipe. The location of all lateral connections shall be field marked with a two-inch by six-inch corrosion- and rot-resistant board. The marker board shall extend from the depth of the lateral to a minimum of two feet above grade. The location of all lateral connections shall be indicated on a drawing with a minimum of three tie lines indicated. Four copies of this drawing, showing the as-built location of these connections, shall be furnished to the Superintendent. A refundable deposit, at an amount per page established from time to time by the Village Board, shall be placed with the Village to assure receipt of these as-builts. The deposit shall be placed when application is made. No sanitary sewer shall be accepted by the Village until four copies of this record drawing have been so filed with the Superintendent and the Superintendent has approved the submitted drawings.
B. 
Special manhole requirements. When any street lateral is to serve a school, hospital, or similar institution, or public housing, or is to serve a complex of industrial or commercial buildings, or which, in the opinion of the Superintendent, will receive wastewater or industrial wastes of such volume or character that frequent maintenance of said building or street lateral is anticipated, then such street lateral shall be connected to the public sewer through a manhole. The Superintendent shall determine if and where this type of connection to the public sewer is required. Connections to existing manholes shall be made as directed by the Superintendent. If required, a new manhole shall be installed in the public sewer pursuant to §§ 235-32 and 235-77, and the lateral connection made thereto as directed by the Superintendent.
In all buildings in which any building drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the public sewer, wastewater carried by such drain shall be lifted by mechanical means and discharged to the building lateral, on approval of the Superintendent.
A. 
Watertight joints. All joints and connections shall be made watertight.
B. 
Cast iron pipe poured joints. Poured joints for cast iron pipe shall be in accordance with standards established in the Sewer Use Rules and Standards Manual.[1]

A. 
Building lateral/street lateral connection.
(1) 
Building laterals and street laterals shall be constructed in accordance with standards established in the Sewer Use Rules and Standards Manual.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: The Sewer Use Rules and Standards Manual is included at the end of this chapter.
(2) 
The cost of constructing the street lateral from the existing public sewer to the property line shall be at the property owner's expense; all subsequent costs and expense incidental to the installation and connection of the building lateral shall also be borne by the owner.
(3) 
The property owner shall indemnify the Village from any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation of the building lateral.
(4) 
It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to maintain, repair, or replace the building lateral, as needed.
(5) 
The method of connection of the building lateral to the street lateral will be dependent upon the type of sewer pipe material and, in all cases, shall be approved by the Superintendent. After installation of the street lateral has been approved by the Superintendent, the new street lateral shall become the property of the Village. Any subsequent repairs to the new street laterals shall be made by the Village at the Village's expense.
B. 
Cleanout repair/replacement. If, in the judgment of the Superintendent, it is determined that a building lateral, without a property line clean-out, needs repair or replacement, the Village may install a clean-out at the property line, at the property owner's expense, such that the street lateral can be maintained independently of the building lateral.
The street lateral, building lateral, or the combined lateral shall be tested for infiltration/exfiltration by:
A. 
Any full pipe method described in § 235-33; or
B. 
By a suitable joint method, with the prior written approval of the Superintendent.
A. 
Connection inspection.
(1) 
The applicant for the building lateral permit shall notify the Superintendent when the building lateral is ready for inspection and connection is to be made to the street lateral. The connection shall be made under the supervision of the Superintendent.
(2) 
The applicant for the street lateral permit shall notify the Superintendent when the street lateral is ready for inspection and connection is to be made to the main sewer. The connection shall be made under the supervision of the Superintendent.
B. 
Trench inspections. When trenches are excavated for the laying of building lateral pipes or for laying of street lateral pipes, such trenches shall be inspected by the Superintendent. Before the trenches are backfilled, the person performing such work shall notify the Superintendent when the laying of the building lateral is completed, and no backfilling of trenches shall begin until approval is obtained from the Superintendent.
All excavations for constructing building laterals shall be adequately protected 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 Superintendent. When installation requires disturbance of paved public roads and shoulders, restoration shall involve backfilling to road grade. Shortly thereafter, the Village Department of Public Works (DPW) shall complete road and shoulder restoration to the Village standards. The cost for such final road and shoulder restoration by the DPW shall be included with the fees paid with the application for the permit required in § 235-38.
A. 
An interior clean-out fitting shall be provided for each building lateral at a readily accessible location, preferably just inside the basement wall. The fitting shall contain a forty-five-degree branch with removable plug or test tee, and be so positioned that sewer cleaning equipment can be inserted therein to clean the building lateral.
B. 
The cleanout diameter shall be no less than the building lateral diameter.
All costs associated with the provisions of this article shall be borne by the property owner unless specifically stated or agreed to be a cost borne by the Village. The property owner shall indemnify the Village from any loss or damage that may be directly or indirectly occasioned by the installation of the building and street laterals, and connections and appurtenances.
