B.
In either case, the owner or his agent shall make application on a special form furnished by the Village, set forth in § 222-39. The permit application shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications, or other information considered pertinent in the judgment of the Superintendent. A permit and inspection fee of $150 for a residential or commercial building sewer permit shall be paid to the Village at the time the application is filed. The industry, as a condition of permit authorization, must provide information describing its wastewater constituents, characteristics, and type of activity.
A building sewer permit will only be issued and a sewer connection
shall only be allowed if it can be demonstrated that the downstream
sewerage facilities, including sewers, pump stations and wastewater
treatment facilities, have sufficient reserve capacity to adequately
and efficiently handle the additional anticipated waste load.
All costs and expense incident to the installation and connection
of the building sewer shall be borne by the owner. The owner shall
indemnify the Village from any loss or damage that may directly or
indirectly be occasioned by the installation of the building sewer.
A separate and independent building sewer shall be provided
for every building; except that, where one building stands at the
rear of another on an interior lot and no private sewer is available
or can be constructed to the rear building through an adjoining alley,
court, yard, or driveway, the building sewer from the front building
may be extended to the rear building and the whole considered as one
building sewer.
Old building sewers may be used in connection with new buildings
only when they are found, on examination and test by the Superintendent,
to meet all requirements of this chapter.
The size, slope, alignment, materials of construction of a building
sewer, and the methods to be used in excavating, placing the pipe,
jointing, testing, and backfilling the trench, shall all conform to
the requirements of the Building and Plumbing Code or other applicable
rules and regulations of the Village. In the absence of code provisions
or in amplification thereof, the material and procedures set forth
in appropriate specifications of the American Society for Testing
and Materials, Water Pollution Control Federation[1] Manual of Practice No. 9, and Standard Specifications
for Water and Sewer Main Construction in Illinois shall apply.

Whenever possible, the building 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 drain shall be lifted by a means which is approved in accordance with § 222-15, and discharged to the building sewer.
No person(s) shall make connection of roof downspouts, exterior
foundation drains, areaway drains, or other sources of surface runoff
or groundwater to a building sewer or building drain which in turn
is connected directly or indirectly to a public sanitary sewer.
The connection of the building sewer into the public sewer shall
conform to the requirements of the Building and Plumbing Code, or
other applicable rules and regulations of the Village, or the procedures
set forth in appropriate specifications of the American Society for
Testing and Materials, Water Pollution Control Federation[1] Manual of Practice No. 9, and Standard Specifications
for Water and Sewer Main Construction in Illinois. All such connections
shall be made gastight and watertight. Any deviation from the prescribed
procedures and materials must be approved by the Superintendent before
installation.

The applicant for the building sewer permit shall notify the
Superintendent when the building sewer is ready for inspection and
connection to the public sewer. The connection shall be made under
the supervision of the Superintendent or his representative.
All excavations for building sewer installation shall be adequately
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 Village.
