Legal Documents of Mosheim

Sewer laterals that have been previously used but have been abandoned due to the razing of a building structure may be used in connection with new buildings only when they are found, on examination and test by the mayor, to meet all requirements of this chapter. All others must be sealed to the specifications of the Town of Mosheim. Each individual property owner or user of the wastewater control facilities shall be entirely responsible for the maintenance of the sewer lateral located on private property. This maintenance will include repair or replacement of the service line as deemed necessary by the mayor to meet specifications of the Town of Mosheim. Refer to §§ 18-205 through 18-210 for prohibited discharges. The user is to avoid discharges that cause damage to the sewer or environment or that causes problems in pump stations, clogs lines, etc. This may include disposable diapers, sanitary napkins, plastic tampon containers, articles of clothing, rubber goods, gravel, oils, grease, storm water, cistern overflow, etc. In case of power failures, the users should avoid laundry, bathing, and toilet flushing as much as possible. The users served by pressure sewer should notify the town if the alarm light on the pump that serves them is on (indicating a problem). Any pump station, manhole, etc. are not to be covered with dirt or other material as to limit access. (Ord. #221, April 2010)
