Existing building laterals may be used in connection
with new buildings only when they are found, on examination by the
Superintendent, to meet all requirements of this chapter.
Building and street lateral pipe materials shall
in accordance with standards established in the Sewer Use Rules and
Standards Manual.
Building laterals at or near buildings shall
be installed in accordance with standards established in the Sewer
Use Rules and Standards Manual.
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.
All excavations required for the installation
of a building or street lateral shall be open trench work unless otherwise
approved by the Superintendent in accordance with standards specified
in the Sewer Use Roles and Standards Manual.
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.
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.
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.
