Wherever a private sewer is constructed for
the use of one or several buildings, it must conform to the following
conditions:
A.
Its diameter must not be greater than the main sewer
with which it connects.
B.
It must not be carried through any building.
C.
It must not be laid along any sidewalk, and when laid
under the roadway, it must not occupy the probable line of any future
main sewer.
D.
It must contain a separate spur for each building.
E.
It must be laid to the satisfaction of the Division
of Health or its duly authorized agent, in accordance with Village
ordinances governing construction of private sewers and, upon completion,
must be exposed for its entire length for examination and approval
by the Division.
A.
On the outside of buildings where the soil is not
of sufficient solidity for a proper foundation, cylindrical extra-heavy-weight
cast-iron pipe of the best quality must be used. It must be laid on
a smooth bottom with a special groove cut in the bottom of trench
for each hub (in order to give the pipe a solid bearing its entire
length) and the soil well rammed on each side of the pipe. Such pipes
must be laid with the joints properly caulked with lead. The spigot
end and hub ends shall be concentric.
B.
Where vitrified pipe is used, it must conform in all
respects to the requirements of the plumbing code.
C.
In the laying of all sewer pipes, a straight edge
shall be used and the different sections shall be laid in perfect
line on the bottom and sides, but in no case shall terra-cotta pipes
be permitted within three feet of any foundation wall.
D.
When tile pipe is used, it shall be connected with
the soil or waste pipe only where provided with a flange to admit
of the proper connection being made. The connection between iron and
tile pipes shall be made as provided in the plumbing code.
Every house or building shall be separately
and independently connected with the street sewer or main drain on
a private alley, and every house shall be separately vented.
It shall be unlawful to lay any sewer in any
street or highway of the Village or on any private property to be
connected with the sewer system of the Village without first filing
plans and specifications for the laying of such sewer with the Village
Engineer and obtaining from him the approval of such plans and specifications
and a permit, in writing, for the doing of such work.
Such sewer shall be laid in accordance with
the plans and specifications so approved by the Village Engineer,
and the work of the laying of such sewer shall be done under the inspection
and supervision of such Engineer.
[Amended 10-13-1992 by Ord. No. 2375]
The application for a permit shall be accompanied by a fee as set forth in Chapter 145, Fees. Upon the issuance of a permit, an inspector shall be appointed by the Village Engineer, and the cost of inspection and supervision of such work shall be paid by the person obtaining such permit to the collector of the Village on demand.
It shall be unlawful to connect any sewer laid
in any public street or in any private property in the Village for
which a permit was not obtained or which was not laid under plans
approved by the Village Engineer or which was laid without being inspected
and supervised by the Village Engineer.
When a sewer is not available, drain pipes from
buildings shall be connected with an approved private septic tank
with approved seepage runouts.
