As a condition precedent to any sewer connections, all individual
fixtures, compartment appliances or connections to soil stacks, waste
pipes or sewers shall be inspected and approved by the Plumbing Inspector,
for which a services fee shall be charged per fixture, appliance or
connection, which inspection fee shall be payable for inspection services
within the City or beyond the corporate limits of the City. The fee
is established by resolution of the Council of the City of Lancaster.
Every building shall have its own entrance or connection to
the main sewer to the street or alley on which the sewer is laid,
and the right to enter the sewers shall expire at the time the building
for which the permit was granted is torn down, and a new permit shall
be obtained and entrance and inspection fees paid before the erection
of any new building, except in cases where buildings have been destroyed
by fire or tornado, in which case connections may be made without
payment of entrance or inspection fees.
Any sewers outside the corporate limits to be connected with
the City sewage system shall be so connected only by a registered
master plumber or by mechanics who are employed by a registered master
plumber or who are registered journeyman plumbers, and such connections
may be done only with the consent of the Control Authority.
