(A) Prohibition on unpolluted water. No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any (unpolluted) surface water, groundwater, roof runoff, storm water, subsurface drainage, uncontaminated cooling water, or unpolluted industrial process waters to any sanitary sewer. Any existing roof drain connections to sanitary or combined sewers shall be connected into an available storm sewer or shall be disconnected above ground in an appropriate manner approved by the Village Council. Discharges from roof drains emptying onto the ground surface shall be at least three feet from adjacent property line and shall in no way be directed to flood or otherwise cause damage to adjoining property. The owner of all buildings situated within the village is required at his or her expense to disconnect all existing roof drains from sanitary and combined sewers in accordance with the provisions of this section within 180 days after the date of official notice to do so. Discharge units connecting to a village sanitary sewer or combination sewer shall be free of all storm water. It is prohibited that any new construction of discharge units shall have any storm water connections of roof drains, footer and foundation tiles, or any other connection to a sanitary sewer or combination sewer.
(B) Allowable discharge of unpolluted water. Storm water and all other unpolluted drainage shall be discharged to those sewers that are specifically designated as acceptable combined sewers or storm sewers, or to a natural outlet approved by the Village Council and other regulatory agencies.
(C) Wastewater discharge. Discharge units having sanitary water shall be connected to a village sanitary sewer, if one is within 200 feet of any of the lot or property lines of that discharge unit. If a sanitary sewer is not available within 200 feet of the lot or property line, the discharge unit shall be connected to a combined sewer. In either event, the connection shall be water-tight from the discharge unit to the sewer.
(D) New connections. No new connections or alterations to existing connections shall be made to any of the sewer systems of the village without prior permission of the Village Council or its authorized representative, nor shall the village allow any new connections unless there is sufficient downstream sewer capacity and sufficient treatment capacity.
(E) Fees. Fees for connection to village sewers shall be in accordance with a schedule adopted by the Village Council.
(F) Discharge of liquid waste; approved connections required. No person, corporation, or his or her agent or employee shall discharge any sewage, septic tank waste, wastewater, or other liquid waste into the village’s wastewater system except through village-approved residential, commercial, or industrial wastewater system connections, and only upon prior village approval and prior registration for billing with the Village Administrator.
