No connections shall be made to a sanitary or to a combined
sewer which connections are intended to discharge inflow. Such prohibited
connections include, but are not limited to, footing drains, roof
leaders, roof drains, cellar drains, sump pumps, catch basins, uncontaminated
cooling water discharges, or other sources of inflow.
For properties where separate storm sewers are available within
100 feet of the property line or where, in the judgment of the Superintendent,
sufficient natural drainage or another method of controlling stormwater
is available, connections which contribute inflow to the sanitary
sewers must be disconnected in a fashion approved by the Superintendent.
Upon notice from the Tax Assessor, the Superintendent may inspect
any newly sold property for the purpose of determining if storm sewers
or natural drainage or another method of controlling stormwater is
available, and, if so, if all connections which contribute inflow
have been disconnected.
It shall be a willful violation of this chapter for any person
to reconnect any inflow source which has been disconnected pursuant
to this article.
The Superintendent is enabled to take whatever action is necessary to determine the amount of inflow, including the requirement for installation of a control manhole. The property from which the inflow originated shall be billed for inflow according to Article
XII; however, the Village Board may cause a surcharge at a rate not to exceed five times that for normal sewage volume charge.
