[Adopted 6-26-1956 (Ch. II, § 9, of the Town Compilation)]
The connecting of roof leaders and downspouts in any building
or structure in the Town of Windsor Locks, residential, commercial
or industrial, to the sanitary sewer system of said Town, which was
not so connected at the time this article becomes effective, is hereby
prohibited.
Any property owner or owners or occupiers of such structures
and any person or persons violating or failing to comply with an order
of the Sewer Commission, its agents or employees to disconnect any
such roof leader or downspout shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and
shall be subject to a fine of not more than $25 for each offense.
Each day during which such roof leader or downspout remains connected
after the time hereby prohibited shall constitute a separate offense.
The fact that downspouts or roof leaders do not empty on the
ground or in some other visible manner shall be prima facie evidence
that they are connected with said sewer system.
When the Sewer Commission shall decide that a certain structure
is in violation of this article, it shall notify the owners or occupiers
of such structure to disconnect said drains from said sanitary sewer
system, and if such order is not obeyed within five days, said Sewer
Commission is hereby authorized to disconnect the lead-in pipe from
said structure at the point it enters said sanitary sewer.
Foundation drains are eliminated from this article.
