No connections shall be made to a sanitary or to a combined sewer which
connections are intended to discharge inflow. Such prohibited connections
include, but are not limited to, footing drains, roof leaders, roof drains,
cellar drains, sump pumps, catch basins, uncontaminated cooling water discharges
or other sources of inflow.
For properties where separate storm sewers are available (and capable
of handling flows as determined by the Superintendent) within 100 feet of
the property line or where, in the judgment of the Superintendent, sufficient
natural drainage is available, connections which contribute inflow to the
sanitary sewers must be disconnected in a fashion approved by the Superintendent,
prior to the sale of the property.
Upon notice from the Tax Assessor, the Code Enforcement Officer shall
inspect any newly sold property for the purpose of determining if storm sewers
or natural drainage is available and, if so, if all connections which contribute
inflow to the sanitary sewer system have been disconnected.
It shall be a willful violation of this chapter for any person to reconnect
any inflow source which has been disconnected pursuant to this Article.
The Superintendent is enabled to take whatever action is necessary to determine the amount of inflow, including the requirement for installation of a control manhole. The property from which the inflow originated shall be billed for inflow according to Article
XIII, however, the Village of Albion Board may cause a surcharge at a rate not to exceed five times that for normal sewage volume charge.
