No unauthorized person shall uncover, make any connection with
or opening into, use, alter or disturb any public sewer or appurtenance
thereof without first obtaining a written permit from the Superintendent.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any storm
cooling water or unpolluted industrial waters to any sanitary sewer.
Swimming pool drains shall not be connected to any sanitary sewer.
A. There shall be two classes of sewer lateral permits:
(1) For residential, commercial and institutional service.
(2) For service to establishments producing industrial wastes.
B. In either case, a permit application shall be submitted to the Superintendent.
The permit application shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications
or other information considered pertinent, in the judgment of the
Superintendent. A fee for residential, commercial, institutional and
industrial users, as established by the Village Board, shall accompany
the application.
C. Connections to existing manholes shall be made as directed by the
Superintendent.
A. A separate and independent building lateral shall be provided for
every building requiring sanitary facilities. When, however, there
is a building behind a front building, the second building may use
the front building's building lateral, if there is no other way to
provide sanitary service to the back building.
B. New street laterals and/or building laterals shall not go under building
basements. In like fashion, a building shall not be constructed over
an existing lateral; the lateral shall be relocated after the Superintendent
has approved plans showing the relocation. If relocation is not physically
possible then the lateral shall be:
(1) Exposed and totally encapsulated in not less than three inches of
concrete; or
(2) Exposed and walled and the building rooms above positively ventilated
outdoors.
C. All existing manholes in or under the basement shall be sealed airtight
in a manner acceptable to the Superintendent. No new manholes shall
be constructed on the portion of the lateral under the building.
When building laterals are to serve multiple-dwelling structures,
the building lateral shall be sized in accordance with the metered
water use and with sound professional engineering judgment.
Where a lateral sewer is to serve a complex of industrial, commercial, institutional or dwelling structures, special design of the building lateral system shall be required. Such lateral sewer shall be connected to the public sewer through a manhole. The Superintendent shall determine if and where this connection to the public sewer is required. If required, a new manhole shall be installed in the public sewer pursuant to §§
110-34 and
110-109 and the lateral connection made and tested as directed by the Superintendent. Plans and specifications shall be prepared and submitted for approval pursuant to this chapter.
Dry sewers shall be designed and installed in accordance to
this chapter.
Existing building laterals may be used in connection with new
buildings only when they are found; on examination by the Superintendent,
to meet all requirements of this chapter.
A. Building and street lateral pipe materials shall be one of the following:
(1) Tar-coated, service grade, cast iron soil pipe conforming to ASTM
Specification A-74, Cast Iron Pipe and Fittings. All dimensions, weight
and markings of the pipe shall conform to the requirements of ANSI,
Designation A112.5.1, except spigot ends shall be plain end, if gasket
joints are used.
(2) Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe and fittings conforming to ASTM Specification
D-3034-73, SDR-35 Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Sewer Pipe and fittings.
All pipe shall be suitable for gravity sewer service. Provisions shall
be made for contraction and expansion at each joint with a rubber
ring. The bell shall consist of an integral wall section stiffened
with two PVC retainer rings which securely lock the solid cross-section
ring into position. Minimum Pipe Stiffness (F/Y) at 5% deflection
shall be 46 PSI when tested in accordance with ASTM Specification
D-2412.
B. Any part of the building or street lateral that is located within
five feet of a water main or water service shall be constructed of
cast iron soil pipe. Cast iron soil pipe may be required by the Superintendent
where the building or street lateral is likely to be damaged by tree
roots. If installed on fill or unstable ground, the building or street
lateral shall be of cast iron soil pipe, although other pipe material
may be permitted if such pipe is uniformly supported on a poured concrete
cradle approved by the Superintendent. The distance between consecutive
joints, as measured along the center line of the installed pipe, shall
not be less than 10 feet, except under abnormal circumstances, in
which case this dimension may be diminished, if approved by the Superintendent.
The size and slope of building and street laterals shall be subject
to approval by the Superintendent, but in no event shall the internal
pipe diameter be less than four inches, nor shall the pipe slope be
less than 1/4 inch per foot.
C. The street lateral shall include a full port curb stop with flow-through
diameter equal to that of the lateral. A curb box shall be installed.
A. At the point of connection of a street lateral to a main sewer, a
standard wye fitting and sufficient one-eighth (forty-five-degree)
bend fittings shall be used. The wye fittings shall be installed so
that flow in the arm shall transition smoothly into the flow in the
public sewer. No lateral connection shall be made to the public sewer
which permits the flow into the public sewer from the lateral to enter
at right angles.
B. The inside diameter of the fittings shall be same diameter as the
street lateral inside diameter.
The street lateral, including the wye and one-eighth bend fittings,
shall be connected to the main sewer at the time of constructing the
main sewer, for each proposed lot for either immediate or future development.
Laterals installed for future development shall be fitted with a standard
plug approved for use by the Superintendent. All sewer connections
shall be via a properly installed saddle on the main sewer pipe. No
portion of the lateral pipe shall protrude into the main sewer pipe.
The location of all lateral connections shall be field marked with
a two-inch-by-six-inch corrosion and rot resistant board. The marker
board shall extend from the depth of the lateral to a minimum of two
feet above grade. The location of all lateral connections shall be
indicated on a drawing with a minimum of three tie lines indicated.
Four copies of this drawing, showing the as-built location of these
connections, shall be furnished to the Superintendent. A refundable
deposit shall be placed with Village to assure receipt of these as-builts.
The deposit shall be placed when application is made; the amount of
the deposit shall be $100 per sheet of plans showing locations of
lateral connections. No sanitary sewer shall be accepted by Village
until four copies of this record drawing have been so filed with the
Superintendent and the Superintendent has approved the submitted drawings.
When any street lateral is to serve a school, hospital or similar institution, or public housing, or is to serve a complex of industrial or commercial buildings, or which, in the opinion of the Superintendent, will receive wastewater or industrial wastes of such volume or character that frequent maintenance of said building or street lateral is anticipated, then such street lateral shall be connected to the public sewer through a manhole. The Superintendent shall determine if and where this type of connection to the public sewer is required. Connections to existing manholes shall be made as directed by the Superintendent. If required, a new manhole shall be installed in the public sewer pursuant to §§
110-35 and
110-109, and the lateral connection made thereto as directed by the Superintendent.
Building laterals laid parallel to a bearing wall shall not
be installed closer than three feet to such wall. The building lateral
shall enter the basement through the basement wall no less than 12
inches above the basement floor. In no event shall any building lateral
be placed below the basement floor, except with the expressed written
approval of the Superintendent. The building lateral shall be laid
at uniform grade and in straight alignment insofar as possible. Changes
in direction shall be made only with properly curved pipe and fittings.
Changes of direction of 90° or greater shall be made with a cleanout
which extends to grade, terminating in a terminal box set in concrete.
In building laterals, said cleanouts shall be provided such that the
maximum distance between cleanouts is 75 feet. The ends of all building
or street laterals which are not connected to the interior plumbing
of the building, for any reason, shall be sealed against infiltration
by a suitable stopper, plug or by other approved means.
In all buildings in which any building drain is too low to permit
gravity flow to the public sewer, wastewater carried by such drain
shall be lifted by mechanical means and discharged to the building
lateral, on approval of the Superintendent.
All excavations required for the installation of a building
or street lateral shall be open trench work unless otherwise approved
by the Superintendent. Pipe laying and backfilling, regardless of
pipe material used, shall be performed in general accordance with
Paragraphs 3 through 6 of ASTM Specification C-12, except that trench
width, measured at the top of the installed pipe, shall not exceed
the outside pipe diameter plus 14 inches and, except that no backfill
shall be placed until the work has been inspected. The depth of cover
over the pipe shall be sufficient to afford protection from frost,
but not in any case shall such depth be less than four feet. Where
it is physically impossible to provide cover of four feet, the depth
may be reduced to a minimum of two feet and the pipe shall be insulated,
as approved by the Superintendent.
All joints and connections shall be made watertight.
Poured joints for cast-iron pipe shall be firmly packed with
oakum or hemp, and the annulus filled with an approved compound not
less than one inch deep. Said compound shall be run in with a single
pouring, and caulked tight, if appropriate for the compound used.
No paint, varnish or other coatings shall be permitted on the jointing
material until after the joint has been tested and approved. The transition
joint between cast-iron pipe, and other pipe materials shall be made
with special adapters and jointing materials approved by the Superintendent.
If such joints are hot-poured, the material shall not soften sufficiently
to destroy the effectiveness of the joint when subjected to a temperature
of 160° F., nor be soluble in any of the wastes carried by the
lateral.
Premolded gaskets may be used for hub and plain end cast-iron
pipe joints and joints with fittings, if approved by the Superintendent.
The gasket shall be a neoprene compression-type unit which provides
a positive seal in the assembled joint. The gasket shall be premolded,
one-piece unit, designed for joining the cast-iron hub and plain end
soil pipe and fittings. The assembled joint shall be sealed by compression
of the gasket between the exterior surface of the spigot and the interior
surface of the hub. The joint shall be assembled following the manufacturer's
recommendations using acceptable lubricant and special pipe-coupling
tools designed for that purpose. The plain spigot end shall be forced
into the hub end of the pipe for the full depth of the hub itself.
Lubricant shall be a bland, flax-base, nontoxic material and shall
not chemically attack the gasket material.
Joints for PVC sewer pipe shall follow the manufacturer's recommendations, using properly designed couplings and rubber gaskets pursuant to the published information relating thereto, and conforming to the applicable ASTM specification identified in §
110-55.
A. The connection of the building lateral to an existing street lateral shall be made at the property line. Except as provided under §§
110-29 and
110-30, if a street lateral has not previously been provided, the street lateral will be constructed from the existing public sewer to the property line, at the owner's expense. The street lateral shall be installed with a properly sealed and covered cleanout to grade located at the property line. The cleanout shall terminate in a metal box embedded in concrete.
B. The cost of constructing the street lateral from the existing public
sewer to the property line shall be at the property owner's expense;
all subsequent costs and expense incidental to the installation and
connection of the building lateral shall also be borne by the owner.
C. The property owner shall indemnify the Village from any loss or damage
that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation
of the building lateral.
D. It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to maintain,
repair or replace the building lateral, as needed.
E. The method of connection of the building lateral to the street lateral
will be dependent upon the type of sewer pipe material and, in all
cases, shall be approved by the Superintendent. After installation
of the street lateral has been approved by the Superintendent, the
new street lateral shall become the property of the Village. Any subsequent
repairs to the new street laterals shall be made by the property owner
at the property owner's expense.
If, in the judgment of the Superintendent and/or the municipality,
it is determined that a building lateral without a property line cleanout
needs repair or replacement, the appropriate municipality may install
a cleanout at the property line, at the property owner's expense,
such that the street lateral can be maintained independently of the
building lateral.
Any existing street lateral which, upon examination by the Superintendent,
is determined to be in need of replacement will be replaced with a
new street lateral with a property line cleanout. The replacement
street lateral shall be constructed by a licensed plumber. The cost
of constructing the replacement street lateral and cleanout shall
be at the property owner's expense. Once the replacement street lateral
and cleanout have been constructed and approved by the Superintendent
and/or the municipality, the new street lateral shall become the property
of the appropriate municipality. Any repairs to new street laterals
shall be made by the property owner at the property owner's expense.
The street lateral, building lateral or the combined lateral
shall be tested for infiltration/exfiltration by:
B. By a suitable joint method, with the prior written approval of the
Superintendent.
The applicant for the building lateral permit shall notify the
Superintendent when the building lateral is ready for inspection and
connection is to be made to the street lateral. The connection shall
be made under the supervision of the Superintendent. The applicant
for the street lateral permit shall notify the Superintendent when
the street lateral is ready for inspection and connection is to be
made to the main sewer. The connection shall be made under the supervision
of the Superintendent.
When trenches are excavated for the laying of building lateral
pipes or for laying of street lateral pipes, such trenches shall be
inspected by the Superintendent. Before the trenches are backfilled,
the person performing such work shall notify the Superintendent when
the laying of the building lateral is completed, and no backfilling
of trenches shall begin until approval is obtained from the Superintendent.
All excavations for constructing laterals shall be adequately
protected with barricades and lights so as to protect the public from
hazard. Roads, streets, sidewalks, parkways and other public property
or improvements disturbed, in the course of the work, shall be restored
in a manner satisfactory to the Village or town entity having jurisdiction.
An interior cleanout fitting shall be provided for each building
lateral at a readily accessible location, preferably just inside the
basement wall. The fitting shall contain a forty-five-degree branch
with removable plug or test tee, and so positioned that sewer cleaning
equipment can be inserted therein to clean the building lateral. The
cleanout diameter shall be no less than the building lateral diameter.
All costs associated with the provisions of this article shall
be borne by the property owner unless specifically stated or agreed
to be a cost borne by the municipality. The property owner shall indemnify
the Village or Town from any loss or damage that may be directly or
indirectly occasioned by the installation of the building and street
laterals and connections and appurtenances.
