[Amended 1-12-1981 by Ord. No. 81-4; 5-12-1986 by Ord. No. 86-10]
A.Â
Connection required.
(1)Â
Where any main or lateral of the Village sewerage system is available for use in any easement or right-of-way traversing or adjacent to any premises intended or used for human habitation, occupancy, or use, or within 400 feet of the property line of any such premises in the Village, and such premises consist of a lot of less than 120,000 square feet, no new septic or other private sewage disposal systems shall be constructed to serve such premises and no major repairs shall be made to any existing septic or other sewage disposal system currently serving such premises. Rather, the owner thereof, at his or her own expense, shall provide proper toilet and other sewage disposal facilities on the premises and shall connect all sanitary sewers on the premises to such Village sewerage system by a service connection; all in accordance with the provisions of this Part 1 and other applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations. Previously installed septic fields may remain in place, but shall not be used for the disposal of sanitary sewage. For the purposes of this subsection, "major repairs" shall include any repairs the cost of which exceeds the estimated cost, excluding any required connection or inspection fees required by the Village, of connecting to such system.
(2)Â
Where connection to the Village sewerage system is required
by this section but such connection cannot be made without extending
a public sewer main across private property other than the premises
in question, it shall be the responsibility of the Village to secure
an easement or right-of-way across such property or to waive the connection
requirement until such an easement or right-of-way becomes available.
Where connection to the Village sewerage system is required by this
section and a public sewer main does not traverse the entire length
or width of the premises in question in a public easement or right-of-way
traversing or adjacent to such premises but does extend to, or can
be extended through public easements or rights-of-way to, the property
line of the premises in question, the owner of the premises in question
shall, at such owner's sole cost and expense, unless excused by the
Water and Sewer Commissioner on the basis that the proper extension,
installation, operation and maintenance of the Village sewerage system
does not require it, extend such a main to, and across the entire
length or width of, the premises in question and shall, if no existing
public easement is available adjacent to or across the premises in
question, dedicate such an easement across the entire length or width
of such premises, all in accordance with standards and specifications
to be provided by the Water and Sewer Commissioner on the basis of
the minimum standards necessary to ensure the proper extension, installation,
operation and maintenance of the Village sewerage system.
(3)Â
Effect on intervening property.
(a)Â
Where such an extension, other than an extension across or adjacent
to the premises in question, will result in benefit to property lying
between the premises in question and an existing main of the Village
sewerage system, the Village shall adopt an ordinance providing for
the recapture and repayment to the applicant of such benefit at the
time of connection of such intervening property to the Village sewerage
system.
(b)Â
Where such an extension cannot be made without extending a public sewer main across private property lying between the premises in question and an existing main of the Village sewerage system, and where no recapture ordinance involving said intervening private property has previously been adopted or is required by Subsection A(3)(a) above or by agreement, and where the estimated cost of the portion of the extension across said intervening private property exceeds 1/3 of the total estimated cost of the sewer extension required by this section, and where the extension across such intervening private property would result in substantial benefit to other private property adjacent to the premises in question, the Village may determine the proportion of benefit to such adjacent property resulting from the extension across such intervening private property and may adopt, upon a showing of good cause by the applicant, an ordinance providing for the recapture and repayment to the applicant of such benefit at the time of connection of such adjacent property to the Village sewerage system; provided, however, that the recapture amount shall not exceed 1/2 of the cost of that portion of the extension across said intervening private property.
B.Â
Where the Village sewerage system is not used, the premises shall
be provided with a properly functioning and maintained on-site sewage
disposal system in conformity with the regulations and provisions
of this Part 1.
Every building in separate ownership shall have a separate service
connection to the Village sewerage system or, where permitted, a separate
on-site disposal system.

obstruct, block or tamper with, or in any manner impede or restrict
the flow of sewage or of stormwater or surface water, drainage or
runoff into or through any public or private sewer, any part of the
Village sewerage system or any structure, appurtenance or equipment
which functions as a part of any system of sewers in the Village.
A.Â
Whenever any privately owned sewer, drain, septic tank, seepage field
or pit or other privately owned facility for the collection, treatment
or disposal of sewage, industrial wastes or stormwater or surface
water is obstructed, broken, damaged or defective in such a manner
as to obstruct normal flow or to permit sewage or drainage to escape
into surrounding soils or to prevent its proper functioning for its
intended purposes, it shall be promptly and properly cleaned, repaired
or replaced by, and at the expense of, the owner or person in control
of the premises concerned. Such facilities shall be maintained by
the owner or person in control of the premises on a regular basis
in such a manner as to prevent the occurrence of any such obstruction,
damage or defect.
B.Â
Upon written notice from the Commissioner to the owner or person
in charge of any premises that a private sewer on the premises is
defective, such person shall, within 48 hours, determine the cause
of the defect and shall, within 30 days from date of such notification,
make all necessary repairs or corrections. In the event of the failure
of such person to investigate and to make the necessary corrections
and repairs as herein required, the Village of Bannockburn may undertake
necessary corrections or repairs in the most practicable and expedient
manner and charge the owner therefor.
B.Â
The Commissioner may inspect detention facilities upon reasonable
notice to determine if they are functioning in accordance with design
criteria. Whenever facilities fail to so perform, the owners shall
cause the problem to be corrected by qualified personnel or may contract
with the Village for the correction of the problem, provided the Village
is reimbursed for its time, labor and materials.
Sewage lift stations shall not be permitted unless specifically
authorized by the President and Board of Trustees of the Village,
upon recommendation of the Village Engineer.
