No unauthorized person may uncover, connect to, use, alter or
disturb any public sewer or appurtenance thereof without first obtaining
a written permit from the Superintendent.
The registered installer employed by the owner of the premises
is the agent of said owner while installing a sewer line from the
premises and is not the agent of the village. The village is not responsible
for the acts of said installer. Any installer employed to work on
sewer lines must be registered by the village to perform installation
work.
If a new sewer line is to replace an existing sewer line and
a new tap is to be installed in a public sewer, all necessary material
must be paid for by owner.
All costs and expenses of the installation, connection, operation
and maintenance of the building sewer must be borne by the owner.
The owner must indemnify the village from any loss or damage it sustains
that may, directly or indirectly, be occasioned by the installation
of the building sewer.
A separate and independent building sewer must be provided for
every building, except where one building stands at the rear of another
or on an interior lot and no private building sewer is available or
can be constructed to the rear of the building through an adjoining
alley, courtyard or driveway. Then, the building sewer from the front
building may be extended to the rear building and the whole considered
as one building sewer, but the village is not responsible for damage
caused by or resulting from any such single connection.
Old building sewers may be used in connection with new buildings
only when they are found by the Superintendent to meet all requirements
of this chapter.
