7-1-13: STORM OR SURFACE DRAINAGE FORBIDDEN:
The separate sanitary sewer system of the Village was built to carry away the domestic or sanitary sewage, the commercial sewage, and as may be permitted, the industrial wastes, of the Village. It was not designed to carry any storm water, water from air conditioning units, cooling systems, surface water or ground water. Any act which shall cause any storm water, water from air conditioning units, cooling systems, surface water or ground water to be conveyed to and into the sanitary sewers is herewith directly forbidden; it is directly contrary to the provisions of this Chapter and shall be subject to the penalties herein provided.
The sanitary or domestic sewage from all buildings shall be conveyed in house sanitary connections to the public system of sanitary sewers. Sanitary or domestic sewage shall be taken to include basement floor drainage; however, this shall not include any storm or ground water intentionally conveyed to the basement floor and from said basement floor to and into the sanitary sewer system.
