No connections shall be made to a sanitary or to a combined
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 sewer are available within
100 feet of the property line or where, in the judgment of the Administrator,
sufficient natural drainage is available, connections which contribute
inflow to the sanitary sewers must be disconnected in a fashion approved
by the Administrator, prior to the sale of the property.
Upon notice from the Tax Assessor, the Administrator 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 Administrator 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 Article
III; however, the Town Board may cause a surcharge to be billed at a rate not to exceed five times that for normal sewage volume charge.
