The following requirements shall apply to existing house connection sewers:
A. 
If the construction of a new house connection sewer on a lot is to include any portion of any existing house connection sewer on such lot, such construction shall be included and accepted only when it meets all the requirements for new house connection sewers and is of a material acceptable to the Engineer and Building Inspector.
B. 
When it is found necessary to replace any portion of an existing house connection sewer system between the street curb and lot line, all that portion of the house connection sewer between these limits shall be replaced to meet the requirements for new house connection sewers.
C. 
When it is found necessary to replace any portion of an existing house connection sewer between the curb and public sewer, all that portion of the house connection sewer between these limits shall be replaced to meet the requirements for new house connection sewers.
A. 
All house connection sewers which are to be connected to a trunk sewer shall include a running trap, the type and location of which shall meet the approval of the Engineer.
B. 
When necessary, in the opinion of the Engineer or Building Inspector, house connection sewers which are to be connected to a trunk sewer or main sewer shall include a running trap, the type and location of which shall meet the approval of the Engineer or Building Inspector.
All excavations shall have sufficient width to allow proper workmanship and permit adequate inspection and shall be supported in the proper manner. Sheet piling and other timbers shall be withdrawn in such a manner as to prevent caving of the walls of the excavation or disturbance of the sewer pipe.
At any point in a main sewer or trunk line sewer where it is necessary to provide new sewage service, no vitrified clay Y- or T-saddle will be permitted. Entrance into the main sewer or trunk sewer will be constructed by first cutting the entrance to the main sewer or trunk sewer and then inserting a short piece of four- or six-inch-diameter cast-iron pipe, with bell on one end, into the aforedescribed entrance in such a manner so as not to protrude beyond the inside face of said trunk or main sewer. The connecting pipe shall be so placed as to project upward at an angle of approximately forty-five degrees (45º) from the horizontal and, in addition, shall be so placed as to direct the flow of the house connection sewage downstream into the main or trunk sewer. The only method by which a connection shall be made into the top of the main or trunk sewer is if said connection is constructed in accordance with the standard plan entitled "Standard Chimney Pipe" and in accordance with the aforementioned connection method. It is hereby further stipulated that all Y-connections or saddles shall conform to the standard plan entitled "Standard Saddle Connection." After the short section of connecting pipe is in place, an embedment of cement concrete shall be placed under and around the main line sewer pipe and connecting pipe as required for a standard chimney pipe in accordance with the standard plan. The inside of the main or trunk sewer shall be checked to see there is no protruding cement at the joint between the pipe and saddle.
No person shall connect or cause to be connected any sewer which has been or may hereafter be constructed in any street, highway, alley, right-of-way or other public place prior to the dedication and acceptance of such street, alley or right-of-way with any public sewer of the town, unless such sewer first mentioned shall have been laid under the supervision and/or to the satisfaction of the Engineer and in accordance with all provisions of this chapter.
A. 
No connection from any building or other structure shall hereafter be made to any public sewer if such connection or any portion thereof be in, under or upon any lot other than the lot on which such building or structure is located, except an apartment house or an auto trailer court.
B. 
If a lot or parcel of land requiring a sewer connection is so situated that access to a public sewer is not possible except across some other lot or parcel of land, a sewer connection may be placed in a recorded public easement which includes the right to lay and maintain such connection and is appurtenant to the lot or parcel of land to be served by such sewer connection.
C. 
When a public sewer is available, every new building or existing building having a new plumbing system installed shall have an independent house connection sewer connecting to the public sewer, except that where one building stands in the rear of another building on an interior lot, a single house connection sewer may be used for connecting said buildings to the public sewer.
All industrial liquid waste pretreatment plants, grease interceptors, sand interceptors, sewage treatment plants, sewage pumping plants or ejectors, septic tanks, cesspools, dry wells, dilution chambers and neutralization tanks shall be constructed in accordance with the Plumbing Code[1] unless otherwise provided in this chapter.
