18-205 : Building sewers and connections.

  1. No unauthorized person shall uncover, make any connections with or opening into, use, alter, or disturb any public sewer or appurtenance thereof without first obtaining a written permit from the superintendent.
  2. There shall be two (2) classes of building permits:


    1. for residential and commercial service, and

    2. 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 town. The permit application shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications, or other information considered pertinent in the judgment of the superintendent. A permit and inspection fee of three dollars ($3.00) for a residential, commercial, or industrial building sewer permit shall be paid to the town at the time the application is filed.

  3. All costs and expense incident to the installation and connection of the building sewer 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.
  4. A separate and independent building sewer shall be provided for every building, except that when 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 from the front building may be extended to the rear building and the whole considered as one building sewer.
  5. 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 policy.
  6. The size, slope, alignment, materials of 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 and other applicable rules and regulations of the town. In the absence of code provisions or in amplification thereof, the materials set forth in the appropriate ASTM specifications and the procedures set forth in the WPCF Manual of Practice No. 9 shall apply.
  7. Whenever possible, the building sewer shall be brought to the building at an elevation below the basement floor. In all buildings in which any building drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the public sewer, sanitary sewage carried by such building drain shall be lifted by an approved means and discharged to the building sewer.
  8. No person shall make connection of roof downspouts, exterior foundation drains, areaway drains, or other sources of surface runoff or ground water to a building sewer or building drain that in turn is connected directly or indirectly to a public sanitary sewer.
  9. The connection of the building sewer into the public sewer shall conform to the requirements of the building and plumbing code and other applicable rules and regulations of the town, or to the materials requirements set forth in the appropriate ASTM specifications and the procedures set forth in the WPCF Manual of Practice No. 9. set forth in appropriate specifications of the ASCE and the WPCF Manual of Practice No. 9. All such connections shall be made gastight and watertight. Any deviation from the prescribed procedures and materials must be approved by the city manager before installation.
  10. The applicant for the building sewer permit shall notify the city manager or his authorized representative when the building sewer is ready for inspection and connection to the public sewer. The connection shall be made under the supervision of the superintendent or his representative.
  11. All 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 in a manner satisfactory to the town.
  12. Any work done in the street right-of-way will be covered by town street cut permit. (1978 Code, § 13-205)
