If investigations and tests reveal that downspouts, street drains or any surface waters flow into any sanitary sewer, the Village Administrator may order the abatement of the condition. The Administrator is authorized to require immediate disconnection of any downspout which is found flowing into a sanitary sewer, and the downspout shall be discharged into a storm sewer or onto a splash block or other device, provided that no water so discharged flows onto adjoining property or over sidewalks. All costs involved in any necessary corrective action shall be at the sole expense of the property owner, contractor or builder involved. Failure to comply with the order shall be considered a violation of this chapter.
