joints and connections shall be made gas and water-tight. PVC sewer
pipe shall be fitted with factory made flexible gasket joints of the
compression type with a neoprene or other synthetic material gasket
confined in a machined groove. Gasket rings shall conform to current
Standard Specifications and Design Criteria requirements. All fittings
shall be of the same size and type of the building sewer.
C.
Before
joining the pipe in the trench, the bell and spigot surfaces shall
be wiped free of dirt or other foreign matter. A lubricant or sealer
as recommended by the pipe manufacturer shall be applied to the bell
and spigot mating surfaces just before they are jointed together.
D.
The

shall be sufficient to afford protection from frost. All excavations
required for the installation of a building shall be open trench work
unless otherwise approved by the said Inspector. Pipe laying and backfill
shall be performed in accordance with Standard Specifications and

Cleanouts
of the same size and type of pipe be provided within five (5) feet
of the building and along the pipe every one hundred (100) feet to
the public sewer line. These cleanouts shall be brought to the finish
grade of the lot and allow easy access of cleaning equipment.
I.
If
new lateral sewer pipes are installed and connected to an underground
facility within the public right-of-way or if such infrastructure
is fully replaced by excavation within the public right-of-way, the
customer shall be required to place tracer wire or other utility location
technology and an access point within a protective enclosure over
lines and cleanouts for gravity sewer laterals to provide approximate
location of the underground facilities in these areas that are located
within a public right-of-way. For sewer laterals operating under pressure
or vacuum, the customer shall be required to place an access point
within a protective enclosure and shall not be required to place a
cleanout. All protective enclosures and cleanouts shall be extended
to grade and installed so that it is easily accessible.

A.
No
person shall discharge or cause to be discharged the following described
substances, materials, waters or wastes if it appears likely in the
opinion of the Utilities Department that such wastes can harm either
the sewers, sewage treatment process, or equipment, have an adverse
effect on the receiving stream, or can otherwise endanger life, limb,

limits established by the Superintendent for such materials;
6.
Any water or wastes containing phenols or other taste or odor-producing
substances, in such concentrations exceeding limits which may be established

to such degree that the sewage treatment plant effluent cannot meet
the requirements of other agencies having jurisdiction over discharge
to the receiving waters.
[R.O. 2012 §715.160; Ord. No. 85-6-3 Art. V §5, 6-3-1985]
A.
If any waters or wastes are discharged, or are proposed to be discharged to the public sewers, which waters contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in Section 715.140 of this Chapter, and which in the judgement of the Superintendent, may have deleterious effect upon the sewage works, processes, equipment, or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life to constitute a public nuisance, the Superintendent may:

the Superintendent permits the pre-treatment or equalization of waste
flows, the design and installation of the plants and equipment shall
be subject to the review and approval of the Superintendent, and subject

or dwelling units. All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity
approved by the Superintendent, and shall be located as to be readily
and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. All interceptors

When required by the Superintendent, the owner of any property
serviced by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install
a suitable control manhole together with such necessary meters and
other appurtenances in the building sewer to facilitate observation,
sampling, and measurement of the wastes. Such manhole, when required,
shall be accessibly and safely located, and shall be constructed in
accordance with plans approved by the Superintendent. The manhole
shall be installed by the owner at his/her expense, and shall be maintained
by him/her so as to be safe and accessible at all times.

All measurements, tests, and analyses of the characteristics
of waters and wastes to which reference is made in this Chapter shall
be determined in accordance with the latest edition of "Standard Methods
for the Examination of Water and Wastewater," published by the American
Public Health Association, and shall be determined at the control
manhole provided, or upon suitable samples taken at said control manhole.
In the event that no special manhole has been required, the control
manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in
the public sewer to the point at which the building sewer is connected.
Sampling shall be carried out by customarily accepted methods to reflect
the effect of constituents upon the sewage works and to determine
the existence of hazards to life, limb and property. The particular
analyses involved will determine whether a twenty-four (24) hour composite
of all outfalls of a premise is appropriate or whether a grab sample
or samples should be taken. Normally, but not always, BOD and suspended
solids analyses are obtained from a twenty-four (24) hour composite
of all outfalls whereas pH's are determined from periodic grab samples.

A.
Any
person wishing to extend a public sanitary sewer shall submit complete
plans and specifications to the City Superintendent or the City's
appointed Engineer for approval. The plans and specifications shall
follow all the minimum guidelines in this and all ordinances of the
City and the Excelsior Springs Sanitary Sewer Construction Standards
and Specifications. The following is a list of general conditions
for main extensions.
1.
All public sanitary sewers shall extend to the far side of any property
boundaries being serviced or the extent of the gravity plane.
2.
Sanitary sewer systems should be designed for the ultimate tributary
population within the drainage area of the sewer. Due consideration
should be given to current zoning regulations and approved planning
and zoning reports where applicable. Sewer capacities should be adequate
to handle the anticipated maximum quantity of sewage and industrial
waste together with an adequate allowance for infiltration and other
extraneous flow.
3.
All sanitary sewer extensions shall provide a building sewer connection and stub-out to the center of the property line of any platted lot adjacent to said public sewer line. These stub-outs and main connections shall be of the same material required under Section 715.100. These stub-outs and main connections shall be marked on as-built plans by the contractor and recorded with the City Superintendent. Above all stub-outs and along the back of the curb, a two (2) foot steel marker (i.e. rebar, curb pin, T-post) shall be driven flush with the curb back. Department of Natural Resources approved plans required before construction.
4.
All sewer extensions shall be warranted for one (1) year after construction
before the City shall accept said line for maintenance.
