Before making any sewer connection, the owner or his agent shall obtain a permit, which shall be available at the Village Clerk-Treasurer's office, 21 North Street, Walton, New York, for a fee of $25.
In most cases hookup will be made directly in line with an existing system, and in no case shall the house sewer cross other private property without special permission.
All work is to be done in accordance with these rules. Notice must be given to the Village by the owner or his agent when the work is ready for inspection. Inspection will be made by the Village within 48 hours from the time notice is given for work to be inspected. Under no condition will any work done be covered up before it has been inspected and tested by the Village.
A. 
Materials.
(1) 
The pipes shall be made of four-inch extra-heavy cast-iron pipe or four-inch extra-strength PVC gravity sewer pipe, as selected by the owner.
(2) 
The extra-heavy cast-iron pipe shall meet all requirements of ASTM 74-75. Joints shall be bell-and-spigot type with a rubber ring assembly. The pipe length shall be no greater than five feet.
(3) 
The PVC gravity sewer pipe shall meet all requirements of ASTM 3034-74 SDR-35. Pipe and fittings shall be joined with a solid rubber ring. The pipe shall have an integral bell-and-spigot joint with a factory locked-in rubber ring.
B. 
Fittings. The fittings shall have no ledges, shoulders or reductions which can retard or obstruct flow in the piping.

H. 
Excavation and preparation of trench. The trench should be wide enough to provide room for inspection of joints, grade and alignment of pipe, but must not exceed three feet in width. The trench should not be dug deeper than necessary so that pipe can rest on firm, undisturbed soil. All rocks and stone are to be removed and a layer of sand or fine gravel is to be placed in the bottom of the ditch to a depth of six inches.
I. 
Backfill. Clean sand or fine gravel shall be used to cover the pipe a minimum of six inches. Clean backfill is to be used on the remainder of the ditch. Backfill of the trench shall not begin until exposed sewer line and backfill material are inspected by the Village Inspector.

(1) 
The top of the sewer line will be a minimum of 12 inches lower than the waterline.
(2) 
The water service pipe must be placed on a solid shelf at the side of the trench.
(3) 
The water service pipe will be one piece between the building and curb stop.
(4) 
The building sewer shall be tested after installation by the installer to the Village Inspector's satisfaction.
K. 
Performance and workmanship. All work will be performed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code. The installer shall perform the work in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the practice in the community and to the satisfaction of the Village Inspector.

These rules and the attached drawing[1] describe the average connection to the new sewer system. For multiple dwellings and unusual conditions, the Village shall be notified of such and will instruct accordingly.

Editor's Note: The drawing of the typical sanitary sewer service connection is on file in the Village offices.
All contractors who will be installing sewer connections are to provide the Village Clerk-Treasurer with their name, address and name of liability insurance carriers. Persons who desire to install their own sewer connections should so notify the Village Clerk.
All property owners are required to connect to the public sewer within 90 days after official notice to do so, provided that the public sewer is within 100 feet of the property line. The official date to commence connection is June 1, 1978. Therefore, all connections should be completed on or before August 30, 1978.
