All applications for the construction of sewers
for private use and their entrance with the public sewer and for permission
to enter the same must be made to the office of the Department of
Public Works on a form prescribed and furnished by it.
All applications must state the location of
the premises; must be signed by the owner of the premises, or his
attorney, and must be made prior to the commencement of the work thereon.
Such application must include an agreement on
the part of the owner to abide by all rules established by the Department,
and to waive any claim for damages in case of revocation of connection
permit, as hereinafter provided.
Such application will include an agreement to
pay cost of making the connection to the main sewer, and such cost
will be a lien on the premises connected. The drain will be laid by
the Town from the sewer to the property line of the premises to be
connected.
Permits to connect with a public sewer may be
revoked by the Department of Public Works for such cause, at any time,
as it may deem sufficient and all parties in interest shall be held
to have waived the right to claim damages on account of such revocation.
No more than one building shall be connected
with a public sewer through one drain, without a special permit from
the Department.
All drains connecting with a public sewer shall
be six inches in diameter, unless the Department of Public Works grants
a special permit otherwise.
No one but a drain layer, duly licensed by the
state, will be allowed to make connections with the sewers, or lay
any drains in connection therewith; and any such person so licensed
shall give personal attention to any work under his license. He shall
also employ none but competent persons to do such work.
