To ensure compliance with the foregoing articles and sections
of this chapter and to facilitate the supervision of the construction,
operation, and repair of sewers and drains and the keeping of records
thereof, no person, other than those described in this article, shall
construct, repair, alter, or remove any sewer, building sewer or drain
connected to or with, or discharging directly or indirectly to or

thus, at some future time, regardless of whether said work is located
in a public street or in public or private land.
No person shall make any excavation for or construct, install, lay, repair, alter, or remove any sewer, drain, sewer connection, or appurtenances thereof, within the Town, which is in any way connected to, or discharges directly or indirectly to or into any public sewer or drain of the Town, or is intended at some future time to be so connected or to so discharge, until said person shall have applied for and secured from the Town a permit for doing such work. Such permits may be issued only to those qualified to perform such work as provided in §
212-17.
The limitations as to persons who may construct, alter, or repair public sewers and drains, as provided in §
212-17, shall not restrict the usual work of plumbers or others when operating in accordance with the Plumbing and Building Codes of the Town, provided that no plumber or other person shall make any connection to a public sewer or drain of the Town without a permit therefor, even if said sewer or drain is located under or immediately adjacent to any building or similar structure, and provided that all drains and fixtures within said building or structure and all use made of them shall conform to the requirements of this chapter as to what may and may not be permitted to be discharged into public sewers and drains.
Each contractor or person shall be responsible for the faithful
performance of all work performed under the license or permits issued

to divest said contractor or person of full control and responsibility
for all parts of said work. Only competent persons shall be employed
on work performed under such license, and only suitable material conforming
to the standards established by the Town Council shall be furnished
or used on such work.
