(A) No person shall make any connection of roof downspouts, basement wall seepage, or floor seepage, exterior foundation drains, areaway drains, or other sources of surface runoff or groundwater to a building drain or building sewer, which in turn is connected directly or indirectly to a public sanitary sewer. Any such connection which exists on the effective date of this chapter shall be completely and permanently disconnected within 60 days following the effective date of this chapter. The owner of any building drains or building sewers having such connections, leaks, or defects shall bear any and all costs incident to the removal of the source. Pipes, sumps, sump pumps, and similar plumbing and equipment for relief from sources of surface and ground water shall be completely separated from wastewater facilities. Removal of water or the sources thereof without the presence of separate facilities for the removal of wastewater shall be evidenced by drainage of the waters to the public sanitary sewer.
(B) No crawl space drains which are lower than ground surfaces surrounding the building shall be connected to the building sewer. No sanitary inlet which is lower than six inches above the top of the lowest of the two adjacent public sanitary sewer manholes shall be connected by direct drainage to the building sanitary sewer.
