The mayor and village board of trustees, and the superintendent of waterworks and sewerage system, are authorized to make such rules and regulations consistent with this chapter for the connections to the waterworks and sewerage system, specifying the types and sizes of pipes and all the other appurtenances and extensions thereto, and amend the same from time to time as may be deemed necessary. All service pipes and connections to the combined waterworks and sewerage system shall comply with the said specifications and rules for connection to the waterworks and sewerage system shall be subject to a penalty as hereinafter provided. (1976 Code § 52.007)
Employees of the waterworks and sewerage system shall have the right of access to any premises served by the combined waterworks and sewerage system for the purpose of reading water meters at regular prescribed intervals, or for the purpose of making inspections in order to maintain in good condition and provide for the protection of said combined system and the efficient management thereof. Where such inspections are not of an immediate or urgent nature, employees of the combined system shall arrange for appointments mutually convenient to the persons of the premises served by the employees. Any person refusing the right to permit the employees of the waterworks and sewerage system the above described right of access to his premises shall be subject to cessation of utility services until the required opportunity to inspect is accorded the officers or employees of the village. (1976 Code § 52.008)
Should any property owner, lessor or developer of any property outside the village limits request the village to extend its municipal sanitary sewer or water supply so as to serve their property, then, prior to any hookup to the municipal sewer and water facilities, the property owner must agree to the following:
A. If the property owner is contiguous to the village, he is required to file a petition to annex his property to the village.
B. If the property owner is not contiguous to the village then the property owner must enter into a written agreement with the village that when they become contiguous, they will petition to annex into the village. A form of the agreement is attached to ordinance 91-3-13, passed March 25, 1991.
C. In addition, the requesting property owner must pay for all costs for hooking up to the sanitary sewer system and municipal water supply including any fees, costs of extending sewer and water lines, engineering costs, legal fees, annexation fees and any other fees requested by the village to connect onto the sanitary sewer and water supply of the village. (1976 Code § 52.018)
A. Subsoil Drains: Where subsoil drains are used to surround the outer walls of a building, they may be made of corrugated plastic drainage tubing and fittings, not less than four inches (4") in diameter. When the building is subject to backwater, the subsoil drain shall be protected by an accessibly located backwater valve. Subsoil drains may discharge in a properly trapped area drain or sump. Where a storm sewer is provided, the subsoil drain will connect directly to the storm sewer. (1976 Code § 52.015)
B. Sump Pump Discharge:
1. Any new subdivision or planned unit development shall provide for all newly constructed buildings a sump pump discharge line which shall be connected to a storm sewer, where said storm sewer is located within easements or rights of way immediately adjacent to the lot in question.
2. In existing subdivision or planned unit developments already approved by the village which have developed lots or vacant lots, said subdivisions or planned unit developments shall provide on newly constructed buildings for connection to the storm sewers, as long as said storm sewers are adjacent to the lot. If it is impractical to connect to the existing storm sewer because of expense or lack of proper hookup facilities, then the sump pump discharge lines can be located on the surface of the lot at minimum distance from the property lines as determined by the setback and side yard requirements for that principal structure or ten feet (10'), whichever is greater. The department of public works shall determine whether it is too expensive or impractical to hook the sump pump discharge line to the storm sewer. (1976 Code § 52.019)
C. Lawn And Landscape Sprinkler Systems: Prior to the installation of any lawn sprinkling system a permit from the village must be obtained. The permit fee shall be not less than fifty dollars ($50.00) and may increase based upon the number of inspections. The installation of said lawn and landscaped sprinkling systems must be in accordance with all state statutes and local ordinances, and the like. (1976 Code § 52.017)
D. Prohibited Drainage: Stormwater shall not be drained into sewers intended for sanitary sewers only. (1976 Code § 52.016)
A. On or after the effective date of this section, the use or attempt to use as a potable water supply groundwater from within the area described below and depicted in division C as the restricted groundwater zone, within the corporate limits of the village, by the installation or drilling of wells or by any other method is hereby prohibited.

A of this code may be fined pursuant to the general penalty set forth in section 1-3-1
of this code. Each day that a violation is found to exist constitutes a separate violation.
