Every building in which plumbing fixtures are installed and every premises having drainage piping shall be connected to a public sewer, where available. When a public sewer is not available, drain pipes from buildings shall be connected to a drainage system for sewage disposal, as approved by the Commissioner of Water Management.
(Amend Coun. J. 7-29-15, p. 3537, § 4; Amend Coun. J. 10-14-21, p. 37722, Art. VII, § 1)
A building having plumbing fixtures installed and intended for human habitation, occupancy or use on premises abutting on a street, alley or easement in which there is a public sewer shall have a separate connection with the public sewer. Where located on the same lot, multiple buildings shall not be prohibited from connecting to a common building sewer that connects to the public sewer.
Unless the Commissioner of Water Management determines that it is not feasible for a building to connect its sewer to the public sewer in a street, new building sewer connections to the public sewer in alleys or easements are prohibited.
