For either type of permit, the owner or an authorized

rainwater from roofs, streets and other areas, and groundwater from
foundation drains are excluded.

After the applicant has complied with the requirements
in this chapter, the requirements of other applicable ordinances,
and any rules and regulations as may be established by the Board of
Public Works, the permit shall be issued to the applicant by the City
Engineer.
Permits to connect with a sewer issued under §§ 255-16 and 255-30 of this chapter may be revoked and annulled by the Board of Public Works, at any time, for such cause as they determine sufficient, and all parties in interest shall be held to have waived the right to claim damages on account of such revocation, provided that such revocation shall be annulled upon compliance with the provisions in this chapter and the rules and regulations of the Board of Public Works.
