Whenever it becomes necessary to connect a house connection sewer to a public sewer at a point where no special "Y" branch has been installed in the public sewer, the connection shall be made in the presence of an inspector of the engineering department of the City and in the following manner:
A. 
A hole shall be made in the public sewer by cutting into the pipe and then inserting a standard saddle which shall be made for the particular size of pipe on which it is to be placed and which must fit snugly against the exterior wall of the public sewer pipe.
B. 
The "Y" saddle shall be placed in the side of the public sewer pipe with the "Y" branch upward at approximately forty-five degrees from the horizontal and so pointed as to direct the flow from the house connection sewer downstream in the public sewer.
C. 
After fitting the saddle to the exterior of the public sewer pipe, any portion of the lip of the saddle found to extend beyond the interior surface of the public sewer pipe shall be removed before such saddle is bound in place.
D. 
The saddle shall be fastened in place by heavy twelve-gauge galvanized, asphalt-painted iron wire bound around the main line pipe and the flange of the saddle.
E. 
After the saddle is in place an imbedment of cement concrete shall be placed under and around the joint so as to entirely encase the saddle and the public sewer pipe.
F. 
The inside of the joint between pipe and saddle shall be painted with 1:2 cement mortar.
(Prior code § 19.4)
Four-inch house connection sewer service shall be provided in the street for each lot and the depth shall be sufficient to provide a connection to the lowest and farthest point of the lot with a cover of one foot and a grade of not less than two percent.

Before any permit to excavate is issued, a deposit to cover the fixed charges for repairing or replacing any street or portion thereof damaged or removed by any person pursuant to a permit issued under the provisions of this chapter shall be made with the City Clerk.

(Prior code § 19.6; 79-23)
A house connection sewer from any building or other structure shall not be connected to any public sewer, if such connection or any portion thereof is in, under or upon any lot other than that lot on which such building or structure is located; provided, however, that if a lot or parcel of land requiring a sewer connection is so situated that access to the public sewer is not possible, except across some other lot or parcel of land, a sewer connection may be placed in a recorded easement, which shall include the right to lay and maintain such connection and is appurtenant to the lot or parcel of land to be served by such sewer connection; provided further, that a permit as required by Section 13.04.010 for the above-mentioned house connection sewer shall not be issued unless and until the application for a permit is accompanied by an affidavit, notarized, and setting forth that the required private easement has been granted to the lot requiring such sewer connection and that such easement has been recorded with the County.
A copy of the affidavit shall be attached to a copy of the permit when issued, and shall become a part of the record of the engineering department of the City.
