A.
No sanitary sewer shall be extended, or constructed
with the intent to connect to the general sanitary sewer system, without
first having the plans for the same approved by the Ulster County
Department of Health.
B.
All sanitary sewers shall be constructed in accordance
with the minimum requirements of the Ulster County Department of Health
standards.
Clay pipe shall be laid with asphaltic jointing
material. Where groundwater conditions are encountered and the Superintendent
deems it necessary, the bell and spigot of the clay pipe shall be
primed before pouring the asphaltic compound. And where groundwater
conditions are so severe as to prevent the construction of watertight
joints, a cement-asbestos pipe or equal shall be substituted. This
pipe shall be equipped with rubber rings and shall be installed as
specified by the manufacturers.
Manholes shall be constructed of brick or eight
inch by eight inch blocks in accordance with specifications in the
Superintendent's office. A channel of half-tile shall be laid in an
eight-inch concrete base, and the exterior of the walls shall be plastered
at least 3/4 inch in thickness with cement plaster. The manhole top
shall be of the heavy highway type used by the Village of New Paltz.
Trench water or any other water will not be
allowed to enter the public sanitary sewer system unless specifically
authorized. If no other place of disposal is available, permission
may be given to discharge limited quantities into the sanitary sewer.
However, under such circumstances, a settling area with sufficient
retention period shall be provided to remove all earth, sand and similar
substances.
[Amended 3-17-2004 by L.L. No. 1-2004]
When trenches are excavated for the laying of
building lateral pipes or for laying of street lateral pipes, such
trenches shall be inspected by the Superintendent or his designated
agent, as the proper official. Before the trenches are backfilled,
the person performing such work shall notify the Superintendent, when
the laying of the building lateral is completed, and no backfilling
of trenches shall begin until approval is obtained from the Superintendent.
