(A) The reuse of existing laterals is not allowed unless the property owner inspects and provides the District with a report of the results of the inspection of the laterals on their property prepared by a license plumber using closed circuit television (CCTV) inspection or other inspection or test method approved by the District Engineer and the lateral is found not to be defective. (See District Uniform Plumbing Ordinance, §§ 33.065 through 36.074.) A digital copy of the lateral inspection shall be provided to the District Engineer.
(B) A lateral shall be considered defective if it has any of the following conditions: displaced joints, root intrusion, substantial deterioration of the lines, damaged clean-out, defective clean-out, inflow, infiltration of extraneous water or other conditions likely to substantially increase the chance for a lateral blockage, or if, within a period of one year, a lateral suffers two or more blockages resulting in overflows.
