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 Health Department
at its office on Hiawatha Boulevard in the City of Syracuse, New York.
Old building sewers may be used in connection
with public sewers only when they are found, on examination and test
by the Health Department, to be satisfactory.
The connection of the building sewer into an
existing public sewer shall be made at the owner's boundary line.
In the event that a lateral connection has not been previously provided
at such boundary line, the town may construct a lateral from the existing
public sewer to such boundary line. All costs and expenses incident
to the installation and connection of the building sewer to such lateral
connection 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 such building sewer.
All excavations for building sewer installations
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.
The fees for permits and inspections required by this Part
1 shall be the same as those charged by the Health Department for such permits and inspections at the time such permit is granted or inspection made and shall be payable to such Onondaga County Health Department. No additional fees or permits shall be required under this Part
1.
