A. 
There shall be two classes of sewer connection permits:
(1) 
For commercial, recreational and institutional service.
(2) 
For service to establishments discharging pretreated industrial wastes.
B. 
In either case, a permit application shall be submitted to the Superintendent. The permit application shall be supplemented by the following:
(1) 
The permit application shall be upon a blank form obtained from the Superintendent, shall be signed by the owner of the premises or his properly accredited agent and shall state the name of the drain layer who has been engaged by the owner to do the work.
(2) 
Plans and descriptions of the proposed work, signed by an authorized drain layer, shall be filed in triplicate in the office of the sewer district.
(3) 
A permit fee covering the installation of a house drain, as established by the Town Board, shall be paid to the sewer district and placed in the sewer district accounts, to be used to defray the cost of inspection and testing. A schedule of permit fees shall be established from time to time by the Town Board. A surcharge fee shall be paid by any potential industrial user to cover all engineering analysis related to pretreatment of industrial waste.
(4) 
Any other information considered pertinent, in the judgment of the Superintendent.
C. 
Permit required.
(1) 
No unauthorized person shall uncover, make any connection with or opening into, use, alter or disturb any public sewer or appurtenance thereof without first obtaining a written permit from the Superintendent or under the inspection of the Superintendent or his duly authorized representative.
(2) 
No person shall construct any house sewer upon or from any premises in said Calverton Sewer District, or use or permit to be used any house sewer, without a permit from the Superintendent.
D. 
Nonliability of district/Town. No applicant or person to whom a permit may be granted or issued, or his successors in interest, shall have the right to make any claim for damages against the Calverton Sewer District, the Town Board or their agents in consequence of a refusal to issue a permit or of the revocation of a permit, or of delay in acting on any application or of inspecting the making of any connection or because of the cutting off of a connection under the provisions of these regulations.
E. 
Connections to existing manholes shall not be allowed unless approved by the Superintendent.
F. 
The Superintendent shall be notified at least 24 hours before the beginning of any work related to the installation of house sewers or connections.
G. 
Additional permits. No permit granted by the Superintendent shall be construed to permit any interference with or disturbance of any state, county, or Town highway pavement, as the case may be, in the Town of Riverhead, or any excavation in any road, street or public place, unless the permit shall expressly so provide. No permit shall be granted for such interference with or disturbance of said pavement or for the excavating for sewer purposes in any public street or public place unless the applicant or drain layer shall have first obtained from the state, county or Town Highway Department, as the case may be, a permit therefor in accordance with the requirements of the Highway Department having jurisdiction. Any permit fee, bonding or other expenses in connection with the issuance of a permit for opening any street or pavement shall be paid by the applicant or drain layer. No permit shall be deemed to authorize anything not stated in the application.
A. 
The connection of the building connection to an existing street lateral shall be made at the property line. Except as provided under Article XII, if a street lateral has not previously been provided, the street lateral shall be constructed from the existing public sewer to the property line, by a drain layer, at the owner's expense. The street lateral shall be installed with a properly sealed and covered cleanout to grade located at the property line. The cleanout shall terminate in a metal box imbedded in concrete.
B. 
The cost of constructing the street lateral from the existing public sewer to the property line shall be at the property owner's expense; all subsequent costs and expense incidental to the installation and connection of the building lateral shall also be borne by the owner.
C. 
The property owner shall indemnify the district and the Town of Riverhead from any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation of the building lateral.
D. 
It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to maintain, repair or replace the building lateral, as needed.
E. 
The method of connection of the building lateral to the street lateral will be dependent upon the type of sewer pipe material and, in all cases, shall be approved by the Superintendent. After installation of the street lateral has been approved by the Superintendent, the new street lateral shall become the property of the district. Any subsequent repairs to the new street laterals shall be made by the district at the district's expense.
F. 
Street lateral replacement/ownership. Any existing street lateral which, upon examination by the Superintendent, is determined to be in need of replacement will be replaced with a new street lateral with a property line cleanout. The replacement street lateral shall be constructed by a drain layer. The cost of constructing the replacement street lateral and cleanout shall be at the property owner's expense. Once the replacement street lateral and cleanout have been constructed and approved by the Superintendent, the new street lateral shall become the property of the district. Any repairs to new street laterals shall be made by the district at the district's expense.
G. 
Cleanout repair/replacement. If, in the judgment of the Superintendent, it is determined that a building lateral, without a property line cleanout, needs repair or replacement, the district may install a cleanout at the property line, at the property owner's expense, such that the street lateral can be maintained independently of the building lateral.
A. 
A separate and independent building lateral (building sewer, house connection) shall be provided for every building requiring sanitary facilities. When, however, there is a building behind a front building, the second building may use the front building's building lateral, if there is no other way to provide sanitary service to the back building. The Superintendent of the Calverton Sewer District shall have the final decision regarding such a connection.
B. 
New building laterals shall not go under building basements. In like fashion, a building shall not be constructed over an existing lateral. All costs associated with the relocation of any existing sewer pipe shall be borne by the person(s) requiring such relocation and only after said relocation has been studied and approved by the Town Board. If relocation is not physically possible, then the lateral shall be located exposed and totally encased in not less than 12 inches of 4,000 psi concrete or in a fashion designed by the District Engineer.
C. 
All existing manholes in or under the basement shall be sealed airtight in a manner acceptable to the Superintendent. No new manholes shall be constructed on the portion of the lateral under the building.
D. 
Laterals serving several buildings. When building laterals are to serve multiple structures, the building lateral shall be designed by the District Engineer.
E. 
Using existing building laterals. Existing building laterals may be used in connection with new buildings only when they are found, on examination by the Superintendent, to meet all requirements of this Part 4.
Building sewer pipe materials shall be one of the following:
A. 
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe and fittings conforming to ASTM Specification D-3034-73, "SDR-35 Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Sewer Pipe and Fittings." All pipe shall be suitable for gravity sewer service. Provisions shall be made for contraction and expansion at each joint with a rubber ring. The bell shall consist of an integral wall section stiffened with two PVC retainer rings which securely lock the solid cross-section ring into position. Minimum pipe stiffness (F/Y) at 5% deflection shall be 46 psi when tested in accordance with ASTM Specification D-2412.
B. 
Tar-coated, service grade, cast-iron soil pipe conforming to ASTM Specification A-74, "Cast Iron Pipe and Fittings." All dimensions, weight and markings of the pipe shall conform to the requirements of ANSI, Designation A112.5.1, except spigot ends shall be "plain end," if gasket joints are used.
C. 
Any part of the building or street lateral that is located within five feet of a water main or water service shall be constructed of cast-iron soil pipe. Cast-iron soil pipe may be required by the Superintendent where the building or street lateral is likely to be damaged by tree roots. If installed on fill or unstable ground, the building or street lateral shall be of cast-iron soil pipe, although other pipe material may be permitted if such pipe is uniformly supported on a poured concrete cradle approved by the Superintendent. The distance between consecutive joints, as measured along the center line of the installed pipe, shall not be less than 10 feet, except under abnormal circumstances, in which case this dimension may be diminished, if approved by the Superintendent. The size and slope of building and street laterals shall be subject to approval by the Superintendent, but in no event shall the internal pipe diameter be less than four inches, nor shall the pipe slope be less than 1/4 inch per foot.
D. 
Lateral sewers shall be separated from water mains and services as required by the Ten State Standards.
A. 
At the point of connection of a street lateral to a main sewer, a standard wye fitting and sufficient 1/8 (45°) bend fitting shall be used, when available. No lateral connection shall be made to the public sewer which permits the flow into the public sewer from the lateral to enter at right angles. All connections to public sewers shall be made under the direct supervision of the Superintendent.
(1) 
If the public sanitary sewer is 12 inches in diameter or less and no properly located wye fitting is available, the owner shall, at his expense, install a wye fitting in the public sanitary sewer at the location specified by the Superintendent. The wye fitting shall be installed so that flow in the "arm" shall transition smoothly into the flow in the public sewer.
(2) 
Where the public sanitary sewer is greater than 12 inches in diameter and no properly located wye fitting is available, a neat hole may be cut into the public sanitary sewer to receive the building sewer, with entry in the downstream direction at an angle of about 45°. A 45° ell fitting may be used to make such connection, with the spigot end cut so as not to extend past the inner surface of the public sanitary sewer.
B. 
A smooth, neat, watertight joint shall be made. When a cut-in into a public sanitary sewer is necessary, the saddle shall be of the same material as the existing main or lateral. The only exception to this rule occurs when cutting into an existing asbestos-cement sanitary sewer. In this case, a cast-iron saddle may be used to make the building sewer connection. Concrete encasement of the connection assembly is required in such an instance. Special fittings may be used for the connection only after approval by the Superintendent.
C. 
No street sewer, from the public sewer to the property line, shall be of a nominal diameter less than six inches. Inside the property line, the diameter of the pipe shall not be less than four inches if existing lines are used and not less than five inches for new lines. The inside diameter of the fittings shall be the same diameter as the lateral sewer inside diameter.
D. 
The invert of the lateral sewer at the high point of the connection shall be at the same elevation as or higher than the invert of the public sanitary sewer. Where the public sewer is located at an unusual depth, the connection to the public sewer shall be made as required by the Superintendent.
E. 
Whenever possible, the lateral sewer shall be brought to the building at an elevation below the basement floor. In all buildings in which any building drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the public sewer, sanitary sewage carried by such building drains shall be lifted by an approved means and discharged in the building sewer. The cost thereof shall be borne by the owner. The term "approved means" signifies that the owner has submitted plans for lifting the sewage to the Superintendent and has received written approval of such system. Only grinder-pump-type pumping systems shall be allowed.
F. 
Minimum grade. No lateral sewer connection with the public sewer shall be laid at a grade of less than one inch fall in four feet without a written permit signed by the Superintendent specifying the minimum grade that will be permitted.
G. 
Venting of sanitary sewer connections. No building will be permitted to make any connection whatsoever to the sanitary sewer system unless same soil line is extended to a point above the roof and properly vented or is otherwise vented in a manner approved by the Superintendent. A trap and a fresh-air vent is required to be placed in the public sewer line whether within the dwelling or within five feet of the exterior wall of the dwelling. The construction of the trap and vent shall conform to the New York State Building Code.
H. 
Cleanouts shall be installed on all lateral sewers so that the maximum distance between cleanouts is 75 feet. If the lateral sewer is less than 75 feet in length, no cleanout will be required. In those cases where the length of the lateral sewer is between 75 feet and 150 feet, the cleanout shall be installed at the midpoint of the sewer line. In addition, cleanouts will be required at all bends that equal or exceed 23°. Cleanouts shall be constructed using Campbell frame and cover No. 1735, or an approved equal. Cleanout frames shall be set in a concrete base, 36 inches by three inches by eight inches.
I. 
Special manhole requirements.
(1) 
No connection shall be made to manholes unless specifically approved, in writing, by the Superintendent or as stated below.
(2) 
When any lateral sewer is to serve a complex of industrial or commercial buildings, or which, in the opinion of the Superintendent, will receive wastewater or industrial wastes of such volume or character that frequent maintenance of said building or street lateral is anticipated, then such street lateral shall be connected to the public sewer through a manhole. The Superintendent shall determine if and where this type of connection to the public sewer is required. Connections to existing manholes shall be made as directed by the Superintendent. If required, a new manhole shall be installed in the public sewer pursuant to Article XII and the lateral connection made thereto as directed by the Superintendent.
A. 
Building laterals laid parallel to a bearing wall shall not be installed closer than three feet to such wall. The building lateral shall enter the basement through the basement wall no less than 12 inches above the basement floor. In no event shall any building lateral be placed below the basement floor, except with the expressed written approval of the Superintendent.
B. 
The building lateral shall be laid at uniform grade and in straight alignment insofar as possible. Changes in direction shall be made only with properly curved pipe and fittings. Changes of direction of 90° or greater shall be made with a cleanout which extends to grade, terminating in a terminal box set in concrete. In building laterals, said cleanouts shall be provided such that the maximum distance between cleanouts is 75 feet. The ends of all building or street laterals, which are not connected to the interior plumbing of the building, for any reason, shall be sealed against infiltration by a suitable stopper, plug or by other approved means.
C. 
The drain layer shall install house sewers such distance from the waterline as prescribed by the Ten State Standards, Riverhead Water District and/or the SCDHS.
A. 
All excavations required for the installation of a building lateral shall be open trench work unless otherwise approved by the Superintendent. Pipelaying and backfilling, regardless of pipe material used, shall be performed in general accordance with Paragraphs 3 through 6 of ASTM Specification C-12, except that trench width, measured at the top of the installed pipe, shall not exceed the outside pipe diameter plus 14 inches, and except that no backfill shall be placed until the work has been inspected by the Superintendent.
B. 
All work of laying lateral sewers and connections shall be done in such a manner and at such times as to interfere as little as possible with public travel and convenience, and the drain layer shall conduct his work as the Superintendent may from time to time direct.
C. 
The size, slope, alignment, material or construction of a building sewer and the methods to be used in excavating and placing the pipe, jointing, testing and backfilling the trench shall conform to the requirements of the Building and Plumbing Codes and all applicable rules and regulations of Suffolk County and the Calverton Sewer District. In the absence of code provisions, or in amplifications thereof, the materials and procedures set forth in appropriate specifications of the American Society for Testing and Materials and Water Pollution Control Federation Manual of Practice No. 9 shall apply. All excavations for building sewer installations shall be 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 Superintendent of Highways and/or the Town Board.
A. 
Cast-iron pipe poured joints. Poured joints for cast-iron pipe shall be firmly packed with oakum or hemp and the annulus filled with an approved compound not less than one inch deep. Said compound shall be run in with a single pouring, and caulked tight, if appropriate for the compound used. No paint, varnish or other coatings shall be permitted on the jointing material until after the joint has been tested and approved. The transition joint between cast-iron pipe and other pipe materials shall be made with special adapters and jointing materials approved by the Superintendent. If such joints are hot-poured, the material shall not soften sufficiently to destroy the effectiveness of the joint when subjected to a temperature of 160° F., nor be soluble in any of the wastes carried by the lateral.
B. 
Cast-iron push joints. Premolded gaskets may be used for hub and plain-end cast-iron pipe joints and joints with fittings, if approved by the Superintendent. The gasket shall be a neoprene compression-type unit which provides a positive seal in the assembled joint. The gasket shall be a premolded, one-piece unit, designed for joining the cast-iron hub and plain-end soil pipe and fittings. The assembled joint shall be sealed by compression of the gasket between the exterior surface of the spigot and the interior surface of the hub. The joint shall be assembled following the manufacturer's recommendations using acceptable lubricant and special pipe-coupling tools designed for that purpose. The plain spigot end shall be forced into the hub end of the pipe for the full depth of the hub itself. Lubricant shall be a bland, flax-base, nontoxic material and shall not chemically attack the gasket material.
C. 
PVC push joints. Joints for PVC sewer pipe shall follow the manufacturer's recommendations, using properly designed couplings and rubber gaskets pursuant to the published information relating thereto and conforming to the applicable ASTM specification identified in § 265-68A.
The building lateral shall be tested for infiltration/exfiltration by:
A. 
Any full pipe method described in Article XIV; or
B. 
By a suitable joint method, with the prior written approval of the Superintendent.
The applicant for the building lateral permit shall notify the Superintendent when the building lateral is ready for inspection and connection is to be made to the street lateral. The connection shall be made under the supervision of the Superintendent.
When trenches are excavated for the laying of building lateral pipes, such trenches shall be inspected by the Superintendent. Before the trenches are backfilled, the person performing such work shall notify the Superintendent when the laying of the building lateral is completed, and no backfilling of trenches shall begin until approval is obtained from the Superintendent.
All excavations for constructing building laterals shall be adequately protected 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 Superintendent.
An interior cleanout fitting shall be provided for each building lateral at a readily accessible location, preferably just inside the basement wall. The fitting shall contain a 45° branch with removable plug or test tee, and so positioned that sewer cleaning equipment can be inserted therein to clean the building lateral. The cleanout diameter shall be no less than the building lateral diameter.
All costs associated with the provisions of this article shall be borne by the property owner unless specifically stated or agreed to be a cost borne by the Town. The property owner shall indemnify the Town from any loss or damage that may be directly or indirectly occasioned by the installation of the building and street laterals and connections and appurtenances.
