(A) The size, shape, alignment, materials of construction of a building or house lateral sewer, and the methods to be used in excavating, placing the pipe, jointing, testing, and backfilling the trench shall conform to the requirements of the building and plumbing codes and other applicable rules and regulations of the city.
(B) Each commercial and industrial user shall supply the city with information about expected wastewater constituents and characteristics to be used in determining whether or not the user will be a major contributor, as provided in § 51.075.
(C) A separate and independent building or house lateral sewer shall be provided for every building or house, except where one building or house stands at the rear of another on an interior lot and no private sewer is available or can be constructed to the rear building or house through an adjoining alley, court, yard, or driveway. In these cases, the building or house lateral sewer from the front building or house may be extended to the rear building or house and the whole considered as one building or house lateral sewer.
(D) Old building or house lateral sewers may be used in connection with new buildings or houses only when they are determined, upon examination and by the Inspector authorized by the Board of Public Works and Safety or the Sewer Superintendent, to meet all requirements of this chapter.
(E) Whenever reasonably possible, the building or house lateral sewer shall be brought to the building or house at an elevation below the basement floor. In all buildings or houses in which any building or house drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the appropriate public sewer, wastewater carried by the building or house drain shall be lifted by an appropriate means and discharged to the building or house lateral sewer.
(F) No person shall hereafter connect or reconnect roof downspouts, footing drains, areaway drains, driveways, parking lots, or other sources of surface runoff or groundwater, to a building or house lateral sewer or building or house drain which is in turn connected directly or indirectly to the sewerage system.
(G) The applicant for the building or house lateral sewer permit shall notify the Board of Public Works and Safety or its designated representative when a building or house lateral sewer is ready for inspection and connection to the sewerage system. The connection shall be made under the supervision of the Inspector or his representative, using materials and techniques conforming to the requirements of the Board.
