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 Supervisor.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged
any stormwater, surface water, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface
drainage, cooling water or unpolluted industrial waters to any sanitary
sewer. Swimming pool drains shall not be connected to any sanitary
sewer.
A.
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.
B.
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 Supervisor has approved plans showing the relocation.
If relocation is not physically possible then the lateral shall be
C.
All existing manholes in or under the basement shall
be sealed airtight in a manner acceptable to the Supervisor. No new
manholes shall be constructed on the portion of the lateral under
the building.
When building laterals are to serve multiple
dwelling structures, the building lateral shall be sized in accordance
with the metered water use and with sound professional engineering
judgement.
Where a lateral sewer is to serve a complex
of industrial, commercial, institutional, or dwelling structures,
special design of the building lateral system shall be required. Plans
and specifications shall be prepared and submitted for approval pursuant
to this chapter.
Dry sewers shall be designed and installed in
accordance to this chapter.
Existing building laterals may be used in connection
with new buildings only when they are found, on examination by the
Supervisor, to meet all requirements of this chapter.
A.
Building and street lateral pipe materials shall be
one of the following:
(1)
Tar-coated, service grade, cast iron soil pipe conforming
to ASTM Specification A-74, "Cast Iron Pipe and Fittings." All dimensions,
weight and markings of the pipe shall conform to the requirements
of ANSI. Designation A112.5.1, except spigot ends shall be plain end,
if gasket joints are used.
(2)
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe and fittings conforming
to ASTM Specification D-3034-73, "SDR-35 Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
Sewer Pipe and Fittings." All pipe shall be suitable for gravity sewer
service. Provisions shall be made for contraction and expansion at
each joint with a rubber ring. The bell shall consist of an integral
wall section stiffened with two PVC retainer rings which securely
lock the solid cross-section ring into position. Minimum pipe stiffness
(F/Y) at 5% deflection shall be 46 psi when tested in accordance with
ASTM Specification D-2412.
B.
Any part of the building or street lateral that is
located within five feet of a water main or water service shall be
constructed of cast iron soil pipe. Cast iron soil pipe may be required
by the Supervisor where the building or street lateral is likely to
be damaged by tree roots. If installed on fill or unstable ground,
the building or street lateral shall be of cast iron soil pipe, although
other pipe material may be permitted if such pipe is uniformly supported
on a poured concrete cradle approved by the Supervisor. The distance
between consecutive joints, as measured along the center line of the
installed pipe, shall not be less than 10 feet, except under abnormal
circumstances, in which case this dimension may be diminished, if
approved by the Supervisor. The size and slope of building and street
laterals shall be subject to approval by the Supervisor, but in no
event shall the internal pipe diameter be less than four inches, nor
shall the pipe slope be less than 1/4 inch per foot.
At the point of connection of a street lateral
to a main sewer, a standard wye fitting and sufficient one-eighth
(45°) bend fittings shall be used. The wye fittings shall be installed
so that flow in the arm shall transition smoothly into the flow in
the public sewer. No lateral connection shall be made to the public
sewer which permits the flow into the public sewer from the lateral
to enter at right angles.
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 a standard plug approved for use by the Supervisor. 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 and four copies of this
drawing, showing the as-built location of these connections, shall
be furnished to the Supervisor. No sanitary sewer shall be accepted
by Village of Clyde until four copies of this record drawing have
been so filed with the Supervisor, and the Supervisor has approved
the submitted drawings.
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 Supervisor, 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 Supervisor 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 Supervisor. If required, a new manhole shall be installed in the public sewer pursuant to §§ 148-30 and 148-99, and the lateral connection made thereto as directed by the Supervisor.
Whenever possible, the building lateral shall
be brought to the building at an elevation below the basement floor.
Building laterals laid parallel to a bearing wall shall not be installed
closer than three feet to such wall. The building lateral shall be
laid at uniform grade and in straight alignment insofar as possible.
Changes in direction shall be made only with properly curved pipe
and fittings. Changes of direction of 90° or greater shall be
made with a cleanout which extends to grade, terminating in a terminal
box set in concrete. The ends of all building or street laterals,
which are not connected to the interior plumbing of the building,
for any reason, shall be sealed against infiltration by a suitable
stopper, plug, or by other approved means.
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 Supervisor.
All excavations required for the installation
of a building or street lateral shall be open trench work unless otherwise
approved by the Supervisor. Pipe laying and backfilling, regardless
of pipe material used, shall be performed in general accordance with
Paragraphs 3 through 6 of ASTM Specification C-12, except that trench
width, measured at the top of the installed pipe, shall not exceed
the outside pipe diameter plus 14 inches and, except that no backfill
shall be placed until the work has been inspected. The depth of cover
over the pipe shall be sufficient to afford protection from frost,
but in case shall such depth be less than four feet.
All joints and connections shall be made watertight.
Premolded gaskets may be used for hub and plain
end cast iron pipe joints and joints with fittings, if approved by
the Supervisor. The gasket shall be a neoprene compression-type unit
which provides a positive seal in the assembled joint. The gasket
shall be premolded, one-piece unit, designed for joining the cast
iron hub and plain end soil pipe and fittings. The assembled joint
shall be sealed by compression of the gasket between the exterior
surface of the spigot and the interior surface of the hub. The joint
shall be assembled following the manufacturer's recommendations using
acceptable lubricant and special pipe-coupling tools designed for
that purpose. The plain spigot end shall be forced into the hub end
of the pipe for the full depth of the hub itself. Lubricant shall
be a bland, flax-base, nontoxic material, and shall not chemically
attack the gasket material.
Joints for PVC sewer pipe shall follow the manufacturer's recommendations, using properly designed couplings and rubber gaskets pursuant to the published information relating thereto, and conforming to the applicable ASTM specification identified in § 148-48.
A.
The connection of the building lateral to an existing street lateral shall be made at the property line. Except as provided under §§ 148-25 and 148-26, if a street lateral has not previously been provided, the street lateral will be constructed from the existing public sewer to the property line, by a licensed plumber, at the owner's expense. The street lateral shall be installed with a properly sealed and covered clean-out to grade located at the property line. The clean-out shall terminate in a metal box imbedded in concrete.
B.
The cost of constructing the street lateral from the
existing public sewer to the property line shall be at the 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.
C.
The owner shall indemnify the Village of Clyde from
any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by
the installation of the building lateral.
D.
It shall be the responsibility of the property owner
to maintain, repair, or replace the building lateral, as needed.
E.
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 Supervisor. After the
installation of the street lateral has been approved by the Supervisor,
the new street lateral shall become the property of the Village of
Clyde. Any subsequent repairs to the new street laterals shall be
made by the Village of Clyde at the Village of Clyde's expense.
If, in the judgement of the Supervisor, it is
determined that a building lateral, without a property line cleanout,
needs repair or replacement, the Village of Clyde may install a clean-out
at the property line, at the owner's expense, such that the street
lateral can be maintained independently of the building lateral.
Any existing street lateral which, upon examination
by the Supervisor, is determined to be in need of replacement will
be replaced with a new street lateral with a property line clean-out.
The replacement street lateral shall be constructed by a licensed
plumber. The cost of constructing the replacement street lateral and
clean-out shall be at the owner's expense. Once the replacement street
lateral and clean-out have been constructed and approved by the Supervisor,
the new street lateral shall become the property of the Village of
Clyde. Any repairs to new street laterals shall be made by the Village
of Clyde at the Village of Clyde's expense.
The street lateral, building lateral, or the
combined lateral shall be tested for infiltration/exfiltration by:
The applicant for the building lateral permit shall notify the Supervisor when the building lateral is ready for inspection and connection to the street lateral is to be made. The connection shall be made under the supervision of the Supervisor. When street laterals are installed pursuant to § 148-25, the property owner, builder, or developer shall notify the Supervisor when the street lateral is ready for inspection and connection to the main sewer, and such connection shall be made under the supervision of the Supervisor.
When trenches are excavated for the laying of building lateral pipes or for laying of street lateral pipes pursuant to § 148-25, such trenches shall be inspected by the Supervisor. Before the trenches are backfilled, the person performing such work shall notify the Supervisor when the laying of the building lateral is completed, and no backfilling of trenches shall begin until approval is obtained from the Supervisor.
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 Supervisor. When installation requires disturbance of paved public roads and shoulders, restoration shall involve backfilling to road grade. Shortly thereafter the Village of Clyde Department of Public Works (DPW) shall complete road and shoulder restoration to the Village of Clyde 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 § 148-42.
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 45°
branch with removable plug or test tee, and so positioned that sewer
cleaning equipment can be inserted therein to clean the building lateral.
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 of Clyde. The property
owner shall indemnify the Village of Clyde 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.
