[Amended 10-7-2013 by Ord. No. 2013-5]
A. No unauthorized
person shall uncover, make any connections with or opening into, use,
alter or disturb any public sewer or appurtenance thereof without
first obtaining a written water and sewer allocation permit from the
Town.
B. Sewer capacity allocation and issuance of sewer allocation permits shall be by means of the same process and methods set forth in Chapter
109, §
109-19.1 et seq., relating to water capacity allocation and issuance of water allocation permits.
There shall be two classes of building sewer
permits: for residential and commercial service, and for service to
establishments producing industrial wastes. In either case, the owner
or his agent shall make application on a special form furnished by
the Town. The permit application shall be supplemented by any plans,
specifications or other information considered pertinent in the judgment
of the Town.
All costs and expense incident to the installation
and connection of the building sewer shall be borne by the owner.
The owner shall indemnify the Town from any loss or damage that may
directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation of the building
sewer.
Each mobile home and/or trailer unit used for
residential or commercial purposes, and having domestic water and/or
sanitary facilities therein, shall be considered a separate and independent
building, and as such shall have its own separate and independent
building drain and building sewer.
Old building sewers may be used in connection with new buildings only when they are found, on examination and test by the Town, to meet all requirements of this Part
1.
The size, slope, alignment, materials of construction
of a building sewer, and the methods to be used in excavating, placing
of the pipe, jointing, testing and backfilling the trench, shall all
conform to the requirements or other applicable rules and regulations
of the Town. In the absence of code provisions or in amplification
thereof, the materials and procedures set forth in appropriate specifications
of the American Society for Testing and Materials and Water Pollution
Control Federations Manual of Practice No. 9 shall apply.
Whenever possible, the building sewer shall
be brought to the building at an elevation below the basement floor.
In all buildings in which any building drain is too low to permit
gravity flow to the public sewer, sanitary sewage carried by such
building drain shall be lifted by an approved means and discharged
to the building sewer.
No person shall make connection of roof downspouts,
exterior foundation drains, areaway drains or other sources of surface
runoff or groundwater to a building sewer or building drain which
in turn is connected directly or indirectly to a public sanitary sewer.
The connection of the building sewer into the
public sewer shall conform to the requirements or other applicable
rules and regulations of the Town or the procedures set forth in appropriate
specifications of the American Society for Testing and Materials and
the Water Pollution Control Federation Manual of Practice No. 9. All
such connections shall be made gastight and watertight utilizing extra
strength clay pipe, "Y" saddles and/or saddle hub trees, or as directed
by the Town. All connections of building sewer into the public sewer
shall be performed by persons authorized by the Town and duly licensed
by it. Any deviation from the prescribed procedures and materials
must be approved by the Town before installation.
The applicant for the building sewer permit
shall notify the Town when the building sewer is ready for inspection
and connection to the public sewer. The connection shall be made under
the supervision of the Town or its representatives.
All excavations for building sewer installation
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 Town.
