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.
A. 
No building sewer shall be covered until after it has been inspected, tested and approved by the Superintendent.
B. 
All new building sewers or building sewers that are replaced shall be air tested for leakage after installation. The test shall be conducted on all joints that would be exposed to infiltration of groundwater, surface water or other extraneous sources of nonpolluted waters. The test shall be conducted by the Superintendent or his authorized representative, or in a manner directed by him by the contractor or owner. The sewers shall be charged with air to four pounds per square inch pressure. The sewer shall show a loss of pressure no greater than 0.5 pounds per square inch over a ten-minute period.
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.
A. 
The size, slope and alignment of the building sewer shall be subject to approval of the Superintendent, but in no event shall the diameter be less than four inches.
B. 
Grade or slope for various pipe sizes shall be not less than:
(1) 
Four-inch pipe: 1/8 inch per foot.
(2) 
Six-inch pipe: 1/16 inch per foot.
(3) 
Over six inches: plan required for review and approval by the Superintendent.
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.
