No 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 permit from the Superintendent
or other appropriate delegated authority.
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 Superintendent. A permit and inspection fee as set from time
to time by the Town Board for a residential or commercial building
sewer permit and for an industrial building sewer permit shall be
paid to the Town Clerk at the time the application is filed.
All costs and expenses incident to the installation
and connection of the building sewer shall be borne by the owner.
The owner shall indemnify the Town of Perinton from any loss or damage
that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation
of the building sewer.
A separate and independent building sewer shall
be provided for every building, except that where one building stands
at the rear of another on an interior lot and no private sewer is
available or can be constructed to the rear of the building through
an adjoining alley, court, yard or driveway, the building sewer from
the front building may be extended to the rear building and the whole
considered as one building sewer.
Old building sewers may be used in connection with new buildings only when they are found, on examination and test by the Superintendent, to meet all requirements of this Part
2.
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 of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention
and Building Code or other applicable rules and regulations of the
Town of Perinton. In the absence of code provisions or in amplification
thereof, the materials and procedures set forth in appropriate specifications
of the ASTM and WPCF Manual of Practice No. 9, as supplemented and
amended from time to time, 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 or interior 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 of the Building and
Plumbing Code or other applicable rules and regulations of the Town
of Perinton, or the procedures set forth in appropriate specifications
of the ASTM and the WPCF Manual of Practice No. 9, as supplemented
and amended from time to time. All such connections shall be made
gastight and watertight. Any deviation from the prescribed procedures
and materials must be approved, in writing, by the Superintendent
before installation.
The applicant for the building sewer permit
shall notify the Superintendent, or other delegated authority, when
the building sewer is ready for inspection and connection to the public
sewer. The connection shall be made under the supervision of the Superintendent
or his representative.
All excavations for building sewer installations
shall be adequately guarded with barricades and lights so as to protect
the public from hazards. Streets, sidewalks, parkways and other public
property disturbed in the course of the work shall be restored in
a manner satisfactory to the Town.
