No unauthorized person shall uncover, make any
connection with or opening into, use, alter or disturb any public
sewer or appurtenance thereof without first obtaining a written permit
from the Superintendent.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged
any storm cooling water or unpolluted industrial waters to any sanitary
sewer. Swimming pool drains shall not be connected to any sanitary
sewer.
B.
In either case, a permit application shall be submitted
to the Superintendent. The permit application shall be supplemented
by any plans, specifications or other information considered pertinent,
in the judgment of the Superintendent. A fee, for residential, commercial,
institutional and industrial users, as established by the Village
Board, shall accompany the application.
C.
Connections to existing manholes shall be made as
directed by the Superintendent.
A.
A separate and independent building lateral shall
be provided for every building requiring sanitary facilities. When,
however, there is a building behind a front building, the second building
may use the front building's building lateral, if there is no other
way to provide sanitary service to the back building.
B.
New street laterals and/or building laterals shall
not go under building basements. In like fashion, a building shall
not be constructed over an existing lateral; the lateral shall be
relocated after the Superintendent has approved plans showing the
relocation. If relocation is not physically possible then the lateral
shall be:
C.
All existing manholes in or under the basement shall
be sealed air-tight in a manner acceptable to the Superintendent.
No new manholes shall be constructed on the portion of the lateral
under the building.
D.
All street laterals and/or building laterals which
serve more than one residential or commercial building prior to November
1, 1994, will not be subject to separate and independent clause. Separation
will occur if all owners are in agreement and at their expense.
When building laterals are to serve multiple
dwelling structures, the building lateral shall be sized in accordance
with the metered water use and with sound professional engineering
judgment.
Where a lateral sewer is to serve a complex of industrial, commercial, institutional or dwelling structures, special design of the building lateral system shall be required. Such lateral sewer shall be connected to the public sewer through a manhole. The Superintendent shall determine if and where this connection to the public sewer is required. If required, a new manhole shall be installed in the public sewer pursuant to §§ 126-32 and 126-83 and the lateral connection made and tested as directed by the Superintendent. Plans and specifications shall be prepared and submitted for approval pursuant to this chapter.
Dry sewers shall be designed and installed in
accordance to this chapter.
Existing building laterals may be used in connection
with new buildings only when they are found, on examination by the
Superintendent, to meet all requirements of this chapter.
A.
Building and street lateral pipe materials shall be
one of the following:
(1)
Tar-coated, service-grade, cast-iron soil pipe conforming
to ASTM Specification A-74, Cast Iron Pipe and Fittings. All dimensions,
weight and markings of the pipe shall conform to the requirements
of ANSI, Designation A112.5.1, except spigot ends shall be plain end
if gasket joints are used.
(2)
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe and fittings conforming
to ASTM Specification D-3034-73, SDR-35 Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Sewer
Pipe and Fittings. All pipe shall be suitable for gravity sewer service.
Provisions shall be made for contraction and expansion at each joint
with a rubber ring. The bell shall consist of an integral wall section
stiffened with two PVC retainer rings which securely lock the solid
cross-section ring into position. Minimum pipe stiffness (F/Y) at
five-percent deflection shall be 46 PSI when tested in accordance
with ASTM Specification D-2412.
B.
Any part of the building or street lateral that is
located within five feet of a water main or water service shall be
constructed of cast-iron soil pipe. Cast-iron soil pipe may be required
by the Superintendent where the building or street lateral is likely
to be damaged by tree roots. If installed on fill or unstable ground,
the building or street lateral shall be of cast-iron soil pipe, although
other pipe material may be permitted if such pipe is uniformly supported
on a poured concrete cradle approved by the Superintendent. The distance
between consecutive joints, as measured along the center line of the
installed pipe, shall not be less than 10 feet, except under abnormal
circumstances, in which case this dimension may be diminished, if
approved by the Superintendent. The size and slope of building and
street laterals shall be subject to approval by the Superintendent,
but in no event shall the internal pipe diameter be less than four
inches, nor shall the pipe slope be less than 1/4 inch per foot.
C.
The street lateral shall include a full port curb
stop with flow-through diameter equal to that of the lateral. A curb
box shall be installed.
A.
Connection to public sewer.
(1)
At the point of connection of a street lateral to
a main sewer, a standard wye fitting and sufficient 1/8 (forty-five-degree)
bend fittings shall be used. The wye fittings shall be installed so
that flow in the arm shall transition smoothly into the flow in the
public sewer. No lateral connection shall be made to the public sewer
which permits the flow into the public sewer from the lateral to enter
at right angles.
(2)
The inside diameter of the fittings shall be the same
diameter as the street lateral inside diameter.
B.
Future connection locations; as-built drawings. The
street lateral, including the wye and one-eighth bend fittings, shall
be connected to the main sewer at the time of constructing the main
sewer, for each proposed lot for either immediate or future development.
Laterals installed for future development shall be fitted a standard
plug approved for use by the Superintendent. All sewer connections
shall be via a properly installed saddle on the main sewer pipe. No
portion of the lateral pipe shall protrude into the main sewer pipe.
The location of all lateral connections shall be field marked with
a two-inch-by-six-inch corrosion- and rot-resistant board. The marker
board shall extend from the depth of the lateral to a minimum of two
feet above grade. The location of all lateral connections shall be
indicated on a drawing with a minimum of three tie lines indicated.
Four copies of this drawing, showing the as-built location of these
connections, shall be furnished to the Superintendent. A refundable
deposit shall be placed with Village to assure receipt of these as-builts.
The deposit shall be placed when application is made; the amount of
the deposit shall be $100 per sheet of plans showing locations of
lateral connections. No sanitary sewer shall be accepted by the Village
until four copies of this record drawing have been so filed with the
Superintendent and the Superintendent has approved the submitted drawings.
C.
Special manhole requirements. When any street lateral is to serve a school, hospital or similar institution or public housing or is to serve a complex of industrial or commercial buildings, or which, in the opinion of the Superintendent, will receive wastewater or industrial wastes of such volume or character that frequent maintenance of said building or street lateral is anticipated, then such street lateral 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 §§ 126-32 and 126-83 and the lateral connection made thereto as directed by the Superintendent.
A.
Building laterals laid parallel to a bearing wall
shall not be installed closer than three feet to such wall. The building
lateral shall enter the basement through the basement wall no less
than 12 inches above the basement floor. In no event shall any building
lateral be placed below the basement floor, except with the expressed
written approval of the Superintendent.
B.
The building 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. Changes
of direction of 90° or greater shall be made with a cleanout which
extends to grade, terminating in a terminal box set in concrete. In
building laterals, said cleanouts shall be provided such that the
maximum distance between cleanouts is 75 feet. The ends of all building
or street laterals, which are not connected to the interior plumbing
of the building, for any reason, shall be sealed against infiltration
by a suitable stopper, plug or by other approved means.
In all buildings in which any building drain
is too low to permit gravity flow to the public sewer, wastewater
carried by such drain shall be lifted by mechanical means and discharged
to the building lateral, on approval of the Superintendent.
All excavations required for the installation
of a building or street lateral shall be open trench work unless otherwise
approved by the Superintendent. Pipe laying and backfilling, regardless
of pipe material used, shall be performed in general accordance with
Paragraphs 3 through 6 of ASTM Specification C-12, except that trench
width, measured at the top of the installed pipe, shall not exceed
the outside pipe diameter plus 14 inches and except that no backfill
shall be placed until the work has been inspected. The depth of cover
over the pipe shall be sufficient to afford protection from frost,
but not in any case shall such depth be less than four feet. Where
it is physically impossible to provide cover of four feet, the depth
may be reduced to a minimum of two feet and the pipe shall be insulated,
as approved by the Superintendent.
A.
Watertight joints. All joints and connections shall
be made watertight.
B.
Cast-iron pipe poured joints. Poured joints for cast-iron
pipe shall be firmly packed with oakum or hemp and the annulus filled
with an approved compound not less than one inch deep. Said compound
shall be run in with a single pouring, and caulked tight, if appropriate
for the compound used. No paint, varnish or other coatings shall be
permitted on the jointing material until after the joint has been
tested and approved. The transition joint between cast-iron pipe and
other pipe materials shall be made with special adapters and jointing
materials approved by the Superintendent. If such joints are hot-poured,
the material shall not soften sufficiently to destroy the effectiveness
of the joint when subjected to a temperature of 160° F., nor be
soluble in any of the wastes carried by the lateral.
C.
Cast-iron push joints. Premolded gaskets may be used
for hub and plain-end cast-iron pipe joints and joints with fittings,
if approved by the Superintendent. The gasket shall be a neoprene
compression-type unit which provides a positive seal in the assembled
joint. The gasket 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.
A.
Building lateral/street lateral connection.
(1)
The connection of the building lateral to an existing street lateral shall be made at the property line. Except as provided under §§ 126-29 and 126-30, if a street lateral has not previously been provided, the street lateral will be constructed from the existing public sewer to the property line, by the Village. At the owner's request and expense, a street lateral may be installed with a properly sealed and covered cleanout to grade located at the property line. The cleanout shall terminate 75 feet from the main.
(2)
The cost of constructing the street lateral from the
existing public sewer to the property line shall be at the property
owner's expense; all subsequent costs and expense incidental to the
installation and connection of the building lateral shall also be
borne by the owner.
(3)
The property owner shall indemnify the Village from
any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by
the installation of the building lateral.
(4)
It shall be the responsibility of the property owner
to maintain, repair or replace the building lateral, as needed.
(5)
The method of connection of the building lateral to
the street lateral will be dependent upon the type of sewer pipe material
and, in all cases, shall be approved by the Superintendent. Any subsequent
repairs to new street laterals shall be at the property owner's expense
and be made by the Village or an approved contractor.
B.
Cleanout repair/replacement. The Village is not responsible
for repair/replacement of cleanouts.
C.
Street lateral replacement; ownership. Any existing
street lateral which, upon examination by the Superintendent, is determined
to be in need of replacement will be replaced with a new street lateral
with a property line cleanout. The replacement street lateral shall
be constructed by an approved contractor. The cost of constructing
the replacement street lateral and cleanout shall be at the property
owner's expense.
The street lateral, building lateral or the
combined lateral shall be tested for infiltration/exfiltration by:
A.
Connection inspection.
(1)
The applicant for the building lateral permit shall
notify the Superintendent when the building lateral is ready for inspection
and connection is to be made to the street lateral. The connection
shall be made under the supervision of the Superintendent.
(2)
The applicant for the street lateral permit shall
notify the Superintendent when the street lateral is ready for inspection
and connection is to be made to the main sewer. The connection shall
be made under the supervision of the Superintendent.
B.
Trench inspections. When trenches are excavated for
the laying of building lateral pipes or for laying of street lateral
pipes, such trenches shall be inspected by the Superintendent. Before
the trenches are backfilled, the person performing such work shall
notify the Superintendent when the laying of the building lateral
is completed, and no backfilling of trenches shall begin until approval
is obtained from the Superintendent.
All excavations for constructing building laterals shall be adequately protected 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 Superintendent. When installation requires disturbance of paved public roads and shoulders, restoration shall involve backfilling to road grade. Shortly thereafter the Village Department of Public Works (DPW) shall complete road and shoulder restoration to the Village standards. The cost for such final road and shoulder restoration by the DPW shall be included with the fees paid with the application for the permit required in § 126-39.
A.
An interior cleanout fitting shall be provided for
each building lateral at a readily accessible location, preferably
just inside the basement wall. The fitting shall contain a forty-five-degree
branch with removable plug or test tee and be so positioned that sewer
cleaning equipment can be inserted therein to clean the building lateral.
B.
The cleanout diameter shall be no less than the building
lateral diameter.
All costs associated with the provisions of
this article shall be borne by the property owner unless specifically
stated or agreed to be a cost borne by the Village. The property owner
shall indemnify the Village from any loss or damage that may be directly
or indirectly occasioned by the installation of the building and street
laterals and connections and appurtenances.
