No person or persons shall cause any connections of a building
drain to a utility sewer unless made by a person who is a competent
sewer builder duly authorized to do such work by the utility; no person
or persons shall make such connection in any other manner than as
prescribed in this chapter.
[Amended 7-27-2016 by Ord. No. 16-16]
A.
Every building drain connecting with a public sewer must be either
of either SDR-35 rubber-sealed PVC or salt-glazed rubber-sealed vitrified
earthenware; must be sound and impervious in all parts; and must be
solidly laid on a true grade, as near as possible in a straight line,
and covered to the depth of at least two feet. All changes in direction
must be made with properly curved pipe, and must be joined in a manner
specified by the Public Works Director or his or her authorized agent.
All such drains shall be covered with well-rammed fine earth, entirely
free from stone and rubbish the entire length of the ditch. That portion
within the street lines must be thoroughly padded with water the full
depth of the fill.
B.
Within 48 hours after the fill of the trench is completed, the paving
or ballast must be replaced, and the street left in a condition satisfactory
to the Village. All building drains or connections of any kind shall
be laid from the proper junction piece left in the public sewer, and
be connected therewith by a curved pipe of at least six inches' internal
diameter properly fitted into the bell and junction piece, and to
this curved length of pipe shall be connected a six-inch pipe carried
to a point five feet outside the building being connected to the sewer
within four feet of the outside of the building there will be installed
a uwe, extended to grade level, with a removable plug for the purpose
of a clean out and inspection. In any case, where it is necessary
to make a connection with the public sewer at other points than those
provided with junction pieces, it shall be done by removing a section
of the sewer and substituting a proper branch in its place, and such
work shall only be done under the direct supervision of the Public
Works Director or his or her authorized agent. Where any such connections
have been made without the knowledge of the Public Works Director
or his or her authorized agent, the contractor or plumber taking out
the permit may be required at his, her or their expense to uncover
such connections for inspection upon an order of the Public Works
Director or his or her authorized agent.
(1)
The building drain extending from a point five feet outside the building
being connected to the sewer shall be installed and connected in accordance
with the plumbing or building code of the Village, and such installation
and connection shall not be covered until inspected and approved by
the Public Works Director or his or her authorized agent.
(2)
Any person constructing a building drain shall complete this work
only under the supervision of the Public Works Director or his or
her authorized agent.
[Amended 7-27-2016 by Ord. No. 16-16]
No drain connecting with the public sewer shall be laid with
less inclination or grade than one foot in 60 without the written
permission of the Public Works Director or his or her authorized agent.
[Amended 7-27-2016 by Ord. No. 16-16]
The Public Works Director or his or her authorized agent may
require building drains and connections of greater size than six inches
in interior diameter where deemed best for utility and the use contemplated.
[Amended 7-27-2016 by Ord. No. 16-16]
No person shall hereafter lay any pipe or conduit in any street,
alley, easement, or other public right-of-way within five feet of
either side of the public sewer in such street, alley, easement, or
public right-of-way without the permission of the Public Works Director
or his or her authorized agent.
[Amended 7-27-2016 by Ord. No. 16-16]
No more than one building shall be connected with the public
sewer through one drain without a permit signed by the Village Engineer
or his or her authorized agent. The applicant for the building sewer
permit shall notify the Village when the building sewer is ready for
inspection and connection to the public sewer. The connection shall
be made under the supervision of the Public Works Director or his
or her representative.
[Amended 7-27-2016 by Ord. No. 16-16]
In opening trenches in any street or public way, the paving
or ballast must be removed with care; the sides of the trenches must
be sheeted or braced when directed, and in the manner directed by
the Public Works Director or his or her authorized agent. The earth
thrown from the trench must be placed so as not to obstruct the way,
and so as to cause the least obstruction to public travel. All water
pipes must be protected from any injury and the trench enclosed and
lighted at night and every precaution taken to prevent injury to persons
or property during the progress of the work. The street shall be restored
to identically the same condition when the work is completed as it
was before the work was begun. All excavations for building sewer
installation shall be adequately guarded 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 Village.
Any settlement over a building drain on any street occurring
within 365 days shall be repaired at the expense of the owner of the
property from which the drain has been laid.
[Amended 7-27-2016 by Ord. No. 16-16]
Notice must be left at the office of the utility 24 hours prior
to the beginning of any work upon a building drain, and no materials
shall be used or work covered until it is inspected and approved by
the Public Works Director or his or her authorized agent.
All industrial connections shall include a manhole on the property
of the applicant, easily accessible for inspection, which manhole
shall be constructed and maintained and be the sole responsibility
of the owner of the property upon which manhole is located.
