A. 
No property owner may permit the discharge of stormwater into the sewer system, and all property owners shall maintain their building sewer laterals in such fashion as to prevent the infiltration of stormwater into the sewer system.
B. 
Cleanout caps on building sewer laterals shall be appropriately fitted and secured to provide a tight seal against inflow of stormwater under high precipitation conditions.
C. 
All lateral joints shall be tight and all pipes shall be sound to prevent exfiltration by waste or infiltration by groundwater or stormwater.
D. 
The building sewer lateral pipe shall be free of any structural defects, cracks, breaks, rodent holes, or missing portions and the grade shall be uniform without sags or offsets.
E. 
All private building sewer laterals shall be fitted with vent caps which are manufactured to fit the type and size of vent pipe affixed to the lateral, and which shall provide a tight seal against the inflow of stormwater under high precipitation conditions. Vent caps must be set a minimum of four inches above grade, but not less than a height sufficient to preclude the flow of stormwater into the vent.
F. 
Area drains, foundation drains, roof leaders, sump pumps or other direct connections that allow stormwater or groundwater into the building sewer lateral are prohibited.
G. 
Building sewer laterals shall be subject to inspection at the discretion of the Borough for compliance with this section. In addition, the Borough or the Authority may inspect or require proof of inspection of any building sewer lateral connection, to ensure the integrity of the connection and compliance with this section, prior to the issuance of any certificate of occupancy for any property. The Borough or the Authority may from time to time establish, by resolution, a fee associated with the inspection of building sewer lateral connections.
Any person who erects, uses or maintains a privy, cesspool, sinkhole, or septic tank on any property accessible to the sewer system, or otherwise erects, uses or maintains any pipe, conduit, drain or other facility for the discharge of sanitary sewage in violation of this article, shall be deemed to be constructing and maintaining a nuisance, which nuisance the Borough is authorized and directed to abate as provided by law.
No connection shall be made to the sewer system, except in compliance with this article and resolutions, as well as such rules and regulations as may, from time to time, be enacted, adopted, approved or promulgated by the Borough or the Authority.
If any owner of an occupied building on property accessible to the sewer system shall have failed to connect such property with the sewer system as required by § 345-14, the Borough and the Authority shall serve on the owner of such property so failing to connect to said sewer system, and also upon the occupants of the building in question, a copy of this article and a written or printed notice requiring such connection to be made, and such notice shall further state that its requirements shall be complied with within 45 days from the date thereof. Upon the failure of such owner to make the required connection within said forty-five-day period, the Borough may make such connection and collect the cost thereof from such owner by a municipal claim or in an action in assumpsit.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
