No person shall uncover, make any connection with or opening into, use, alter or disturb any public sewer or appurtenance thereof or dispose of wastes to any public sewer until a permit is obtained from the Village, and unless the connection and discharge of wastes has been shown to be in accordance with standards promulgated pursuant to the Act, and all regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, pretreatment requirements and any applicable standards of the State of New York, this Part
1 or other local requirements.
There shall be two classes of building sewer permits: sanitary sewage services; and service to establishments discharging industrial wastes. Industrial waste discharges shall make application in accordance with Article
VII et seq. of this Part
1. The application shall describe the quantity and character of the waste to be discharged to the public sewer. The permit application shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications or other information considered pertinent in the judgment of the Superintendent. In the case of sanitary sewage service, the tie in and service to the system under the supervision of the Superintendent shall, unless the Village shall by resolution require a more formal procedure, constitute a permit.
All work and expense incident to the installation,
connection and maintenance of the building sewer from the building
to the sanitary sewer connection shall be borne by the owner. The
connection to the sanitary sewer shall be made under the supervision
and in the presence of the Superintendent of Public Works.
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 building
sewer is available or can be constructed to the rear building through
an adjoining alley, court, yard or driveway, the building sewer for
the front building may be extended to the rear building.
Old building sewers may be used in connection with new buildings only when they are found, on examination and test by the Superintendent, to meet all requirements of this Part
1.
All new building sewers or building sewers that
are replaced shall be of materials and to specifications approved
by the Superintendent, and shall be in conformance with current acceptable
technology. If any pressure pipe is necessary, it shall have a working
pressure of at least 150 pounds per square inch.
All new building sewers or building sewers that
are replaced shall have a minimum horizontal separation of 10 feet
from the water service or any potable waterline and shall be above
the sewer and shall have a minimum vertical separation from top of
the sewer to the bottom of the waterline of 11/2 feet from one water
distribution main or service connection. In cases where this criteria
cannot be accomplished, the Superintendent will determine other suitable
protection can be obtained.
In certain cases where the building sewer is being replaced, the Superintendent may allow the use of pipe to serve as the building sewer, by placing the pipe inside of the existing building sewer. Materials must be approved by the Superintendent and conform to the requirements of §
150-11.
All new gravity building sewers or all gravity
building sewers that are replaced shall be bedded to one foot above
the pipe barrel and six inches below. The bedding material shall be
sand or stone of a maximum dimension of 1/2 inch, and shall be placed
to eliminate voids between the pipe and the disturbed soil. If the
soil conditions appear unstable, the Superintendent may require additional
methods of support for the pipe.
The depth of the building sewer shall be sufficient
to afford protection from freezing and against physical damage and
shall not be less than three feet from the surface, unless a variance
with suitable protection has been requested and received from the
Superintendent. The building sewer shall be laid at a uniform grade.
The line shall be straight or laid with properly curved pipe and fittings.
Changes in alignment direction greater 45° shall be provided with
cleanouts accessible for cleaning.
In all buildings in which any building sewer
is too low to permit gravity flow to the public sewer, sanitary sewage
carried by such sewer shall be lifted by a method approved by the
Superintendent and discharged to the public sanitary sewer at the
expense of the owner.
No person shall permit connection of roof downspouts,
foundation drains, areaway drains or other sources of surface run-off
or groundwater to a building sewer which in turn is connected directly
or indirectly to a public sanitary sewer.
