(A) No person or persons shall discharge, cause to be discharged, or permit to be discharged in any manner, including but not limited to leaks, defects, or connections, any unpolluted water, including, but not limited to, any storm water, ground water, roof run-off, subsurface drainage, or cooling water, to any sanitary sewer, building sewer, building drain, or building plumbing. The Superintendent of the Sewer Department or his designated representative shall have the right, at any reasonable time, to inspect the interior or exterior of buildings or structures and adjacent lands and/or smoke test for connections, leaks, or defects to plumbing building drains or building sewers, and to require the disconnection or repair of any pipes carrying such water to the building sewer. No sanitary drain, and no sump or sump pump intake or discharge by manual or automatic switch over of intake or discharge connection shall have a dual use for removal of water. In case both storm and sanitary sewage is present, separate drainage or pumping shall be required.
(B) Storm water, surface water, ground water, and all other unpolluted water or drainage may be discharged to storm sewers, approved by the city or its designated agent. Unpolluted cooling water and/or unpolluted process water may be discharged to a storm sewer or natural outlet only upon the prior written approval of the city or its agent designated for the purpose of approval or disapproval of such action.
(C) The owner of any plumbing building sewer or building drain having such connections, leaks, or defects shall bear all costs incidental to removal, repair, or correction of such sources.
