A. 
No unauthorized person shall uncover, make any connections with or opening into, use, alter or disturb any wastewater sewer or a storm sewer without first obtaining a written permit from the manager.
B. 
There shall be three classes of permits for connections to the town's wastewater facilities: Class I, Residential; Class II, Commercial; and Class III, Industrial. In all cases, the owner shall make application for a permit to connect to the town's wastewater facilities on a form furnished by the town. The permit application shall be supplemented by wastewater information required to administer this Part 1 of this chapter. A permit and inspection fee in an amount set forth from time to time by the Town Council for each class of permit shall be paid to the town at the time the application is filed.
C. 
Connections to a storm sewer shall be subject to a permit and inspection fee as set forth from time to time by the Town Council. Such connections shall be subject to the provisions of this Part 1 of this chapter.
The costs and expenses incidental to the building sewer installation and connection to the town's wastewater facilities 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 the building sewer.
A separate and independent building sewer shall be provided for every building, except where one building stands at the rear of another on an interior lot and no private sewer is available or can be constructed to the rear building through an adjoining alley, court yard or driveway, the building sewer serving the front building may be extended to the rear building and the whole considered as one building sewer. The town assumes no obligation or responsibility for damage caused by or resulting from any single building sewer which serves two buildings.
Existing building sewers may be used for connection of new buildings only when they are found on examination and test by the manager to meet the requirements of this Part 1 of this chapter.
The size, slope, alignment, construction materials, trench excavation and backfill methods, pipe placement, jointing and testing methods used in the construction and installation of a building sewer shall conform to the building and plumbing code[1] or other applicable requirements of the town. In the absence of code provisions or in amplification thereof, the materials and procedures set forth in appropriate specifications of the ASTM and WPCF shall apply.

Editor's Note: See Ch. 70, Building Construction.
Whenever practicable, the building sewer shall be brought to a building at an elevation below the basement floor. In buildings in which any building drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the town's wastewater sewer, wastewater carried by such building drain shall be lifted and discharged to a building sewer draining to the town's sewer.
No person shall connect roof, foundation, areaway, parking lot, roadway or other surface runoff or groundwater drains to any sewer which is connected to a wastewater treatment facility. These drains shall discharge to natural outlets or storm sewers.
A. 
The connection of a building sewer into a wastewater sewer shall conform to the requirements of the building and plumbing code or other applicable requirements of the town, or the procedures set forth in appropriate specifications of the ASTM or the WPCF. The connections shall be made gastight and watertight and verified by proper testing. Any deviation from the prescribed procedures and materials must be approved in writing by the manager before installation.
B. 
The connection of a surface runoff or groundwater drain to a storm sewer or natural outlet designed to transport surface runoff or groundwater drainage shall conform to the requirements of the applicable building code or other applicable requirements of the town.
The applicant for a building sewer or other drainage connection permit shall notify the manager when such sewer or drainage connection is ready for inspection prior to its connection to the town's facilities. Such connection and testing as deemed necessary by the manager shall be made under the supervision of the manager or his authorized representative.
Excavations for building sewer installation 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 according to the specifications of the town.
The manager shall not issue a permit for any class of connection to the town's wastewater sewers or wastewater treatment facilities unless there is sufficient capacity, not legally committed to other users, in the wastewater sewers and treatment facilities to convey and adequately treat the quantity of wastewater which the requested connection will add to the system. The manager may permit such a connection if there are legally binding commitments to provide the needed capacity.
