There shall be two classes of building sewer permits: for residential and commercial service and for service to establishments producing industrial wastes. In either case, the owner or his agent shall make application on a special form furnished by the district. The permit application shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications or other information considered pertinent in the judgment of the Superintendent.
B. 
A permit and inspection fee for a residential, commercial or industrial building sewer permit shall be paid to the district at the time the application is filed. The fee will be set by the Town Board and adjusted as needed.
All costs and expenses incident to the installation and connection of the building sewer shall be borne by the property owner. The owner shall indemnify the district from any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be incurred 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 or on an interior lot and no private sanitary sewer system is available or can be constructed to the rear building through an adjoining alley, court, yard or driveway, the building sewer from the building next to the sewer may be extended to the building away from the sewer and the whole considered as one building sewer.
Old building sewers may be used in connection with new buildings only when they are found, on examination and test by the Superintendent, to meet all requirements of this chapter.

The size, slope, alignment, materials of the construction of a building sewer and the methods to be used in excavating, placing of the pipe, jointing, testing and backfilling the trench shall all conform to the requirements of the Building and Plumbing Code or other applicable rules and regulations of the district. In the absence of code provisions or in amplification thereof, the materials and procedures set forth in appropriate specifications of New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code shall be used.
B. 
The connection of the building sewer into the public sanitary sewer system shall conform to the requirements of the Building and Plumbing Code or other applicable rules and regulations of the Building and Plumbing Code or other applicable rules and regulations of the district or the procedures set forth in appropriate specifications of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. All such connections shall be made gastight and watertight. Any deviation from the prescribed procedures and materials must be approved by the Superintendent before installation.
In all buildings in which any building drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the public sanitary sewer system, sewage carried by such building drain shall be lifted by an approved means and discharged to the building sewer.
No person shall make connection of roof downspouts, exterior foundation drains, areaway drains or other sources of surface runoff, groundwater or sump pump discharges to a building sewer or building drain which in turn is connected directly or indirectly to a public sanitary sewer.
The applicant for the building sewer permit shall notify the Superintendent when the building sewer is ready for inspection and connection to the public sanitary sewer system. The connection shall be made under the supervision of the Superintendent or his representative.
All excavations for building a sewer installation shall be adequately shored and guarded with barricades and lights so as to protect workers and 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 district.
