(B) No person shall make any connection to the sanitary sewer system until a permit has been issued by the town.

(C) All connections to the sanitary sewer system shall be made by authorized employees of the town in accordance with specifications for such connection that may be adopted by the town. If authorized by the Board of Commissioners, connections may be made by plumbers licensed to perform plumbing work in the town. All construction shall be in conformity with the state plumbing and building codes, as amended. Any sewer connection made by an authorized licensed plumber shall be inspected by the approving authority after such work has been completed and prior to the time such connection is covered.

(G) Grease, oil and sand interceptors (grease traps) shall be provided by the owner when, in the opinion of the approving authority, they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing floatable oil in excessive amounts, sand or other harmful ingredients; except that such interceptors shall not be required for private living quarters or dwelling units. All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the approving authority and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.

In the maintaining of these interceptors, the owner shall be responsible for the proper removal and disposal by appropriate means of the captured material and shall maintain records of the dates and means of disposal which are subject to review by the approving authority.

Violations of this division shall entitle the town to discontinue water service until such time that the violation has been corrected by the owner.
