Two (2) dwelling units, business units or structures shall not be served by a single privately owned service connection unless approved by the village. When approved by the village, shared services shall be allowed only by separate agreement. A gravity sewer serving more than one unit or structure shall be eight inch (8") diameter minimum and shall be classified as a public sewer extension, unless otherwise approved by the village.
G. One "service stub" shall be provided for each parcel of property being served by the "public sewer". Additional service stubs may be requested by the property owner and the locations specified by the property owner during construction of the sewer main. The cost to the property owner of any additional service stubs shall be the total of expenses incurred due to the installation of the particular service stub.
H. The property owner shall retain ownership of service lines. Services within easements, crossing other properties, are not allowed without village approval.
I. Old building sewers may be used in connection with new buildings only when they are found on examination and test by the inspector to meet all requirements of this chapter.
J. 1. A building sewer of less than fifteen foot (15') depth may be constructed of any of the following approved materials, unless otherwise approved by the village:
a. Cast iron soil pipe and fittings, ASTM specification (A74).
b. Gray iron pipe centrifugally cast in metal molds, ANSI-AWWA C106/A21.6.

j. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sewer pipe type PSM for sizes four inches (4") and twelve inches (12"). Minimum (SDR) standard dimension ratio 26, ASTM D3034.
k. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sewer pipe joints, solvent welded, ASTM D2855.
l. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sewer pipe joints, flexible elastomeric seals, ASTM D3212.
m. Reinforced concrete culvert pipe, ASTM C76.
n. Joints for circular concrete sewer and culvert pipe, flexible watertight, rubber type gaskets, ASTM C433.
2. For building sewers of greater than fifteen foot (15') depth, the materials are limited to, unless otherwise approved by the village:
a. Cast iron soil pipe and fittings, ASTM specification (A74).
b. Grey iron pipe centrifugally cast in metal molds, ANSI-AWWA C106/A21.6.
c. Grey iron and ductile iron fittings three inches (3") through forty eight inches (48"), ANSI-AWWA C110/A21.10.
d. Rubber gaskets for cast iron soil pipe and fittings, ASTM C564.
e. Rubber gasket joints for cast iron pressure pipe and fittings, AWWA C111.
f. Reinforced concrete culvert pipe, ASTM C76.
g. Joints for circular concrete sewer and culvert pipe, flexible watertight, rubber type gaskets, ASTM C433.
3. All sewer pipe shall be of the class required based on the load factor and depth of burial. In no case shall the pipe class be less than that specified above.
4. Joints shall be gastight and waterproof as shall be exhibited by the absence of smoke leakage when the building sewer is inspected by the village and subjected to a smoke test. Any part of the building sewer which is within ten feet (10') of a water main or water service pipe shall be constructed of cast iron, soil pipe or cast iron pipe with rubber joints.
K. No building sewer may be located within ten feet (10') of a well used as a source of potable water. Building sewers located within fifty feet (50') of a well must be constructed of cast iron soil pipe with leaded or mechanical joints or transite pipe with compression joints, either of which must meet ASTM standards for water main construction.
L. If installed in filled or unstable ground, the building sewer shall be of cast iron soil pipe; except, that nonmetallic material may be accepted if laid on a suitable concrete bed or cradle as approved by the inspector.
M. The size and slope of the building sewers shall be subject to the approval of the village, but in no event shall the diameter be less than six inches (6"), except for cast iron soil pipe which may be four inches (4"). The slope of such pipe shall not be less than one-eighth inch (1/8") per foot.
N. No building sewer shall be laid parallel to or within three feet (3') of any bearing wall which might thereby be weakened. The depth shall be sufficient to afford protection from the frost. The building sewer shall be laid at a uniform grade and in straight alignment insofar as possible. Changes in direction shall be made only with properly curved pipes and fittings.
O. In all buildings in which any building drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the public sewer, sanitary sewerage carried by such drains shall be lifted by approved artificial means and discharged to the building sewer. No water operated sewage ejector shall be used.
P. All excavations required for the installation of a building sewer shall be open trench work unless otherwise approved by the inspector. Pipe laying and backfill shall be performed in accordance with ASTM specifications; except, that no backfill shall be placed until the work has been inspected by the inspector.
Q. All joints and connections shall be made gastight and watertight and rootproof. Leaded cast iron pipe joints shall be firmly packed with oakum or hemp and filled with molten lead, federal specifications QQ-L-156, not less than one inch (1") deep. Lead shall be run in one pouring and caulked tight. No paint, varnish, or other coatings shall be permitted on the jointing material until after the joint has been tested and approved. All joints between vitrified clay pipe and cast iron pipe shall be made by packing a closely twisted jute or oakum gasket, of suitable size, to fill partly the annular space between the pipes. The remaining space shall be filled and firmly compacted with mortar, and the entire connection shall be encased in concrete. Approved reducing adapters will be used. Only joints and seals for concrete, cement or clay pipe, such as "O" ring and "M" ring or equal shall be approved by the inspector.
R. The connection of the building sewer into the public sewer shall be made at the "Y" branch, if such branch is available at a suitable location. If the public sewer is twelve inches (12") or less in diameter, and no properly located "Y" branch is available, a neat round hole may be cored in the public sewer to receive the building sewer, with entry in the downstream direction at an angle of about forty five degrees (45°). A forty five degree (45°) elbow may be used to make such a connection, with the spigot end cut so as not to extend past the inner surface of the public sewer. The invert of the building sewer at the point of connection shall be at the same or at a higher elevation than the invert of the public sewer. A smooth neat joint shall be made, and the connection made secure and watertight by encasement in concrete. Special fittings may be used for the connection only when approved by the inspector.
S. A granular bedding (sand or gravel) for the building sewer shall be used to a minimum depth of four inches (4") under the pipe when required by the inspector. The applicant for the building sewer permit shall notify the village when the building sewer is ready for inspection and connection to the public sewer. The connection shall be made only under the direction and supervision of the inspector.
T. 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 village.
U. No person shall make connection of roof downspouts, footing drains, or other sources of surface runoff or groundwater to a building sewer or building drain which in turn is connected directly or indirectly to a public sanitary sewer. (Ord. 2015-O-5)
