No person shall uncover, make any connections to or opening into, use, alter or disturb any public sewer or appurtenance thereof without first obtaining a written permit from the Village Board.
A. 
With respect to structures not serviced by the initial public sewer construction, there shall be two classes of building sewer permits:
(1) 
For residential and commercial service.
(2) 
For service to establishments producing industrial wastes.
B. 
In either case, the owner or his agent shall make application on a special form furnished by the Village. The permit application shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications or other information considered pertinent in the judgment of the Engineer. A permit tap-in and inspection fee, hereafter imposed within the Village of Canisteo for a single residential sewer permit, shall be paid to the Village Clerk at the time an application is filed and shall be payable within 30 days after receipt of the bill for same from the Village Treasurer. The Village Board shall fix a permit, tap-in and inspection fee for multiple dwellings and each commercial, industrial or other nonresidential building after recommendations of the Engineer based on the size and nature of the operation proposed in such commercial, industrial or other nonresidential building as compared to the demands of a single residential structure.
A separate and independent building sewer lateral shall be provided for every building, except, where one building or existing mobile home on a permanent foundation 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 or mobile home and the whole considered as one building sewer. Where building sewers are to serve multiple dwelling structures, there shall be provided at least one separate building sewer lateral for each group of six living units.
Existing building sewer laterals may be used only when they are found, on examination and testing by the Superintendent, to meet all requirements of this chapter.
[Amended 8-7-1984 by L.L. No. 4-1984]
The building sewer lateral shall be tar-coated extra-heavy cast-iron soil pipe conforming to ASTM Specification A74 and American Standards Association (ASA) Specification A-40-1, or asbestos-cement house-connection pipe conforming to ASTM Specification C-428, Type II, minimum class 2400, or plastic pipe, Schedule 35 or heavier, FDR-35, ASTM Ringtite PVC, gravity sewer with gasketed joint. Joints shall be tight and waterproof. Any part of the building sewer lateral that is located within 10 feet of a water service pipe shall be constructed of cast-iron soil pipe. Cast-iron pipe may be required by the Superintendent where the building sewer lateral is exposed to damage by tree roots. If installed in filled or unstable ground, the building sewer lateral shall be of cast-iron soil pipe, except that nonmetallic material may be accepted if laid on a suitable concrete bed or cradle as approved by the Superintendent. Building sewer lateral pipe shall have a maximum length of five feet between joints.
The size and slope of the building sewer lateral shall be subject to the approval of the Superintendent, but in no event shall the diameter be less than four inches, nor shall the slope of the pipe be less than 1/8 inch per foot.
No building sewer lateral shall be laid parallel to and within three feet of any bearing wall which might thereby be weakened. The depth shall be sufficient to afford protection from frost but in no event shall be less than three feet. The building sewer lateral shall be laid at uniform grade and in straight alignment insofar as possible. Changes in direction shall be made only with properly curved pipe and fittings. The ends of building sewer laterals which are not connected to the building drain of the structure for any reason shall be sealed against infiltration by a suitable watertight stopper, plug or other approved means.
In all buildings in which any building drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the public sewer, sewage or industrial wastes carried by such a drain shall be lifted by approved mechanical means and discharged to the building sewer lateral.
All excavations required for the installation of a building sewer lateral shall be open trench work unless otherwise approved by the Superintendent. Pipelaying and backfill shall be performed in accordance with Sections 3 through 6 of ASTM Specification C12, except that no backfill shall be placed until the work has been inspected and except that trench width measured at the top of the installed pipe shall not exceed 24 inches.
A. 
All joints and connections shall be made gastight and watertight. No cement joints will be permitted. The transition joint between cast-iron pipe and other pipe material shall be made with special adaptors and joint materials approved by the Superintendent.
B. 
Premolded gasket joints for hub and plain end cast-iron pipe shall be used and shall be a neoprene compression-type gasket which shall be a premolded, one-piece unit, designed for joining the cast-iron hub and plain end soil pipe and fittings. The assembled joint shall be sealed by compression of the gasket between the exterior surface of the spigot and the interior surface of the hub. The joint shall be assembled following the manufacturer's recommendations using acceptable lubricant and special pipe-coupling tools designed for that purpose. The plain spigot end shall be forced into the hub end of the pipe for the full depth of the hub itself. Lubricant shall be a bland flax-base nontoxic material and shall not chemically attack the gasket material.
C. 
Asbestos-cement pipe joints shall follow the manufacturer's recommendations, using properly designed couplings and rubber gaskets pursuant to the published information relating thereto.
The connection of the building sewer lateral into an existing public sewer shall be made at the property line. Except as provided under §§ 89-24 and 89-25, if the municipal sewer lateral located in the street or right-of-way has not previously been provided, such will be constructed from the existing public sewer to the property line by the Village Department of Public Works upon submittal of a proper request by the property owner and upon deposit of the appropriate permit fee. All costs and expenses incident to the installation and connection of the length of building sewer lateral from the municipal sewer lateral to the owner's building 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 his installation of the building sewer lateral. The method of connection of the building sewer lateral to the public sewer (at the property line) will be dependent upon the type of pipe material used and in all cases shall be approved by the Superintendent of Public Works.
A. 
The applicant for the building sewer permit shall notify the Superintendent when the building sewer lateral is ready for inspection and connection to the public sewer. The connection shall be made under the supervision of the Superintendent or his representative.
B. 
When trenches are opened for the laying of building sewer pipes, such trenches shall be inspected by the Superintendent before the trenches are filled, and the person performing such work shall notify the Superintendent when the installation of the building sewer is completed.
[Amended 4-3-1989 by L.L. No. 4-1989]
All excavations for building sewer installations 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.
When any building sewer lateral is to serve a school, hospital or similar institution or public building or is to serve a complex of industrial or commercial buildings, or which, in the opinion of the Superintendent, will receive sewage or industrial wastes of such volume or character that frequent maintenance of said building sewer is anticipated, then such building sewer shall be connected to the public sewer through a manhole. The Superintendent shall determine if and where this type of connection to the public sewer is required. Connections to existing manholes shall be made as directed by the Superintendent. If required, a new manhole shall be installed in the public sewer pursuant to § 89-26, and the building sewer lateral connection made thereto as directed by the Superintendent.
