All applications for sewer connections must
be made to the Plumbing Inspector on forms provided for that purpose,
and such application must be signed by the plumber.
No building or premises shall be connected with
any sewer, sanitary or stormwater, cesspool or vault, without a permit
first obtained from the Plumbing Inspector; and it is further required
that the permit shall be kept on hand during the progress of the work
to which it relates, and it shall be exhibited whenever required by
the Plumbing Inspector. The conditions of this permit must be strictly
complied with. This regulation applies to all sewers whether on private
property or in public streets or alleys. No plumber under any circumstances
will be allowed to cut a hole into any vitrified sewer pipe.
Connections made to any public sewer or private
sewer located in a public street or way shall be, up to the spigot
end of the house connection, of the same material as the main sewer.
In all cases not otherwise permitted by the City Engineer, connections
can only be made to established Y branches or Y branches placed at
the time of connection. The City Engineer may approve types and means
of connection other than referred to above. Such approval must be
in writing and becomes a portion of the permit covering the work at
hand.
When no Y branch can be located, the matter
will be reported to the Plumbing Inspector. He shall advise such action
as approved by the City Engineer. In no instance shall the public
sewer be disturbed until such approval shall be given.
No connection with a Y branch will be covered
until the Plumbing Inspector shall have endorsed on the permit issued
by the Plumbing Inspector that such connection has been properly made.
When old or defective plumbing is to be remodeled,
additional fixtures installed or the whole plumbing system moved to
another part of the building, then the remodeled system shall be made
to conform to this code.
All repairs to fixtures or piping shall be done
in a substantial, sanitary and workmanlike manner.
When no sewer system is available, the provisions of § 1, Article IV, of the Ulster County Sanitary Code applies. Approval from the Department of Health shall be secured through application made to the Plumbing Inspector. Septic tank capacities, leaching areas and plant locations shall be made subject to the terms of approval issued by the Department of Health.
