No connections shall be made to a sanitary 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
100 feet of the property line or where, in the judgment of the Director
of Public Works, sufficient natural drainage is available, connections
which contribute inflow to the sanitary sewers must be disconnected
in a fashion approved by the Director of Public Works or as determined
necessary by the Director of Public Works.
Upon notice from the Tax Assessor, the Director of Public Works
shall inspect any newly sold property for the purpose of determining
if storm sewers or natural drainage is available, and, if so, if all
connections which contribute inflow have been disconnected.
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 Director of Public Works 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 Chapter
154, Sewer Rents; however, the Village Board may cause a surcharge at a rate not to exceed five times that for normal sewage volume charge.
