All costs and expenses incidental to the installation and connection
of a building sewer shall be borne by the owner, and the issuance
of a building sewer permit shall be contingent upon the owner indemnifying
the Town against any loss or damage that may be caused directly or
indirectly by the installation of the building sewer.
No person shall make a connection of roof downspouts, exterior
or interior foundation drains, areaway drains, cooling water drains,
stormwater drains, or any other sources of surface runoff or groundwater
to a building sewer or building which in turn is connected, or intended
to be connected, directly or indirectly, to a public sanitary sewer.
A. Within one year of the adoption of the effective date of this chapter, any person, firm, or corporation having a discharge referenced in §
212-10 now connected and/or discharging into the sanitary sewer system shall disconnect and/or remove same. Any disconnects or openings in the sanitary sewer shall be closed in an effective, workmanlike manner, as approved by the Director.
Separate wastewater and stormwater systems. In all new construction
and in all reconstruction and remodeling involving building sanitary
facilities, separate piping systems shall be provided for wastewater
and for stormwater and shall be extended from the building as separate
systems to the public sewer and each, in turn, connected to the appropriate
sanitary sewer or storm sewer.
The DES approves plans for new systems, extensions, or replacement
sewers only when designed upon the separate plan, in which rainwater
from roofs, streets, and other areas, and groundwater from foundation
drains are excluded.
The current adopted Sewer District Map is on file in the office
of the Department of Public Works.
