A.
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 Director
of Public Works.
B.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any storm cooling
water or unpolluted industrial waters to any sanitary sewer. Swimming
pool drains shall not be connected to any sanitary sewer.
There are residential, commercial, institutional and industrial
sewer lateral permits. A permit application shall be submitted to
the Director of Public Works. The permit application shall be supplemented
by any plans, specifications, or other information considered pertinent
in the judgment of the Director of Public Works. A fee for residential,
commercial, institutional and industrial users, as established by
the Village Board, shall accompany the application. Connections to
existing manholes shall be made as directed by the Director of Public
Works.
A.
New building laterals.
(1)
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.
(2)
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 Director
of Public Works has approved plans showing the relocation. If relocation
is not physically possible then the lateral shall be handled in such
a manner as acceptable to the Director of Public Works.
(3)
All existing manholes in or under the basement shall be sealed air-tight
in a manner acceptable to the Director of Public Works. No new manholes
shall be constructed on the portion of the lateral under the building.
B.
Laterals serving several buildings. 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 judgment.
C.
Laterals serving complexes. 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. Such lateral sewer shall be connected to the public sewer through a manhole. The Director of Public Works shall determine if and where this connection to the public sewer is required. If required, a new manhole shall be installed in the public sewer pursuant to §§ 158-29 and 158-69 and the lateral connection made and tested as directed by the Director of Public Works. Plans and specifications shall be prepared and submitted for approval pursuant to this chapter.
D.
Dry sewers. 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 Director
of Public Works to meet all requirements of this chapter.
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 Director of Public Works, 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 Director of Public Works 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 Director of Public Works. If required, a new manhole shall be installed in the public sewer pursuant to §§ 158-29 and 158-69, and the lateral connection made thereto as directed by the Director of Public Works.
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 Director of Public Works.
A.
Building lateral or street lateral connection.
(1)
All costs and expenses incidental to the installation and connection
of the building sewer or lateral to the public sewer in the street
or on the right-of-way shall be borne by the owner.
(2)
The property owner shall indemnify the Village from any loss or damage
that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation
of the building lateral.
(3)
It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to maintain,
repair, or replace the building lateral, as needed.
(4)
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 Director of Public Works.
B.
Cleanout repair/replacement. The Village is not responsible for repair/replacements
of cleanouts.
C.
Street lateral replacement; ownership. Any existing street lateral
which, upon examination by the Director of Public Works, is determined
to be in need of replacement will be replaced with a new street lateral
with a property line cleanout. The replacement street lateral shall
be constructed by an approved contractor. The cost of constructing
the replacement street lateral and cleanout shall be at the property
owner's expense.
The street lateral, building lateral, or the combined lateral
shall be tested for infiltration/exfiltration by a suitable method,
with the prior written approval of the Director of Public Works.
A.
Connection inspection.
(1)
The applicant for the building lateral permit shall notify the Director
of Public Works when the building lateral is ready for inspection
and connection is to be made to the street lateral. The connection
shall be made under the supervision of the Director of Public Works.
(2)
The applicant for the street lateral permit shall notify the Director
of Public Works when the street lateral is ready for inspection and
connection is to be made to the main sewer. The connection shall be
made under the supervision of the Director of Public Works.
B.
Trench inspections. When trenches are excavated for the laying of
building lateral pipes or for laying of street lateral pipes, such
trenches shall be inspected by the Director of Public Works. Before
the trenches are backfilled, the person performing such work shall
notify the Director of Public Works when the laying of the building
lateral is completed, and no backfilling of trenches shall begin until
approval is obtained from the Director of Public Works.
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 Director of Public Works. When installation
requires disturbance of paved public roads and shoulders, restoration
shall involve backfilling to road grade. Restoration will not commence
until directed by the Director of Public Works. Restoration will be
performed in accordance with the Village standard and as directed
by the Village Inspector.
An interior cleanout fitting shall be provided for each building
lateral at a readily accessible location, preferably just inside the
basement wall. The fitting shall contain a forty-five-degree branch
with removable plug or test tee, and shall be 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. 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.
