Sections 17452 to 17456, inclusive, of the Health and Safety
Code of the state, which require connection to a street sewer for
the disposal of sewage and waste, shall be enforced by the city engineer.
(Prior code § 16.3)
All plumbing affecting the sanitary condition of any building, habitation or structure within the boundaries of any lot shall be connected with a public sewer, provided, however, that if there is no public sewer in a public street, alley, or right-of-way on which the property abuts, or if the building or structure is located beyond the prescribed limit from such sewer, according to Sections 15.24.030 through 15.24.060, such building or structure may be connected to a septic tank.
(Prior code § 16.4; Ord. 2042 § 3, 2019)
The prescribed distance from existing sewers within which the
subdivider shall be required to construct sewer mains is established
at approximately five hundred feet of the exterior boundaries of the
subdivision. In the event the subdivision is located more than five
hundred feet from an existing sewer, the city engineer may deem it
advisable to require construction of additional lines to connect.
The request of the city engineer must be ratified by the city council.
If the subdivider feels that the request to connect to the sewers
constitutes undue hardship regardless of the distance from existing
sewers, he or she may request council consideration for a waiver of
the requirements herein prescribed.
(Prior code § 16.4)
The prescribed distance from existing sewers within which the
property being split shall be required to construct sewers is established
at approximately two hundred feet. In the event the property is located
more than two hundred feet from an existing sewer, the city engineer
may deem it advisable to request construction of additional lines.
The request of the city engineer must be ratified by the city council.
(Prior code § 16.4)
If there is no public sewer in a public street, alley or right-of-way
on which the property abuts, such building or structure may be connected
to a cesspool and septic tank as permitted under Section 1101 of the
Uniform Plumbing Code unless otherwise specified by the city engineer.
In such instance, the city engineer's recommendation must be ratified
by the city council.
(Prior code § 16.4)
The need for extending sewer lines to connect to existing facilities will be determined by the city engineer in approving the plans according to the type of sewage to be disposed. The specifications governing such requests are to be in accordance with Sections 15.24.080 through 15.24.110, on industrial waste, and in accordance with the water pollution control board.
(Prior code § 16.4)
In the event the city engineer or the city council determines
that the off site sewer construction is an undue hardship on a subdivision,
lot split or individually owned parcel then the developer of the property
shall construct a "dry line" sewer including laterals and appurtenances
for future service within the development and adjacent thereto as
prescribed by the city engineer.
In addition to the "dry line" sewer the developer shall also
install private sewage disposal in accordance with the requirements
of the Glendora Plumbing Code.
(Prior code § 16.4; Ord. 907 § 1, 1963)

a thorough examination. If any pipes are enclosed, or covered in any
way whatsoever, so as to tend to obstruct a thorough inspection of
the drainage system, such obstruction must be removed upon notice
