(A) No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any storm water, surface water, ground water, roof runoff, sub-surface drainage, cooling water or unpolluted industrial process waters to any sanitary sewer. Storm water and all other unpolluted drainage shall be discharged to the sewers that are specifically designated as combined sewers or storm sewers, or to a natural outlet approved by the Town Manager. Industrial cooling water or unpolluted process waters may be discharged, to a combined sewer or natural outlet.
(B) The Town Council shall have the authority to require an owner of real property to disconnect from a building sewer, which drains into a sanitary sewer and wherever possible, a combined sewer, any downspout, yard drain or other drains which carry runoff of natural precipitation. Property owners shall have 30 days after notice to comply with any such requirements.
(C) The Town Council shall prohibit any new connections from inflow sources into the sanitary portions of the sewer system and shall ensure that new sewers and connections to the sanitary sewer are properly designed and connected. A separate connection is required for clear water and sanitary inflow to a combined sewer to facilitate disconnection wherever possible if a storm sewer becomes available. A new tributary to the combined sewer system connection is required to be designed so that it will minimize or delay inflow into the combined sewer.
(D) Construction of a new combined sewer is prohibited.
