No connections shall be made to a sanitary sewer 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 Authority, sufficient natural drainage is available, connections which contribute inflow to the sanitary sewers must be disconnected in a fashion approved by the Authority, prior to the sale of the property. In the event an existing inflow cross-connection is discovered, the owner shall be ordered by the Code Enforcement Officer to correct and remove that cross-connection.
A. 
Upon notice from the Tax Assessor, the Authority shall inspect any newly sold property for the purpose of determining if storm sewers or natural drainage is available, and, if so, if all connections which contribute inflow have been disconnected.
B. 
The Code Enforcement Officer shall inspect all properties for inflow cross-connections prior to sale or transfer of title. Upon notification of a sale or transfer of title of a property that has not been inspected prior to that sale or transfer, the Code Enforcement Officer will notify the new owner of the violation of this section and shall order an inspection.
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.
A. 
Drainage from gutters and downspouts.
(1) 
Concentrated flow from a concrete gutter or a downspout shall not be permitted to flow onto an adjacent neighbor’s property.
(2) 
Review by Town. In furtherance of Subsection A(1), the Town shall review new developments and the location of downspouts.
(a) 
The flow from a concrete gutter coming from a new development shall be identified by the developer and reviewed by Town staff prior to project approval.
(b) 
The locations of downspouts shall be reviewed by Town staff prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy to ensure that drainage is not unfairly discharged onto neighboring properties. Alternatively, where feasible, new dwellings may be required to have their downspouts connected to a six-inch-diameter storm lateral.
(c) 
When residential subdivisions are reviewed by Town staff, grading plans shall be submitted to ensure that drainage swales are provided to prevent runoff from impacting neighboring properties.
(d) 
The Town’s review shall not act as any warranty or guaranty that drainage will not violate this section or otherwise create a nuisance or damages after construction of any development. If, after Town review and completion of construction, drainage should ultimately violate this section or otherwise create a nuisance or damages, the owner of the offending property shall be required to remediate such issues.
B. 
Drainage onto adjoining properties.
(1) 
Runoff from new developments shall not be allowed to drain onto adjacent properties unless the runoff is less than preexisting conditions, is a nonconcentrated flow, and does not significantly alter the existing drainage patterns.
(2) 
No materials may be stored, land disturbed or other work done to block drainage or to divert or cause runoff of groundwater or stormwater in an unnatural fashion.
(3) 
No shed, garden, swing set, playground, pool, yard waste, refuse, or similar structure, feature or substance shall be placed in drainage swales that are used to convey runoff. Before a building permit is issued for the construction of a fence, pool, or shed, the location of the fence, pool or shed should be reviewed by Town staff to ensure that existing drainage patterns are not blocked.
(4) 
Sump pump discharges should be directed away from adjacent properties. Whenever possible, sump pump discharges should be connected to a storm sewer system.
(5) 
A drainage report, with supporting calculations, and a drainage plan shall be required for any new development if drainage is being allowed to flow onto adjacent properties.
C. 
Roof drainage. Roof stormwater drainage shall be discharged in such a manner as to not flow onto adjacent properties. Concentrated water flow generated by downspouts, sump pumps, concrete gutters and drainage swales shall not be directed in such a manner as to allow stormwater to dissipate within the confines of the property or so as to convey the stormwater directly to an existing drainageway located, at least in part, on the property.
