No connections shall be made to a sanitary or to a combined sewer which
connections are intended to discharge inflow. Such prohibited connections
include, but are not limited to, footing drains, roof leaders, roof drains,
cellar drains, sump pumps, catch basins, uncontaminated cooling water discharges
or other sources of inflow.
For properties where separate storm sewers are available within the
bounds of the property or an adjacent street right-of-way, where, in the judgment
of the Village Board no unreasonable or excessive expense is required, connections
which contribute inflow to the sanitary sewers must be disconnected from the
sanitary sewer, and reconnected to the available storm sewer, in a fashion
approved by the Superintendent. All work performed under this section shall
be at the owner's expense.
It shall be a willful violation of this chapter for any person to reconnect
any inflow source which has been disconnected pursuant to this article.
The Superintendent is enabled to take whatever action is necessary to determine the amount of inflow, including the requirement for installation of a control manhole. The property from which the inflow originated shall be billed for inflow according to Article XII; however, the Village Board may cause a surcharge at a rate not to exceed five times that for normal sewage volume charge.
