Pipes And Excavations: Building sewers shall not be less than six inch (6") diameter size pipe installed at a minimum invert slope of one-eighth inch (1/8") per foot, or not less than four inch (4") diameter size pipe in lengths of not less than ten feet (10') installed at a minimum invert slope of one-fourth inch (1/4") per foot. Building sewers shall be constructed in accordance with the requirements of the supervisor of sewer and water as to trench excavation and backfilling, installation of pipe and fittings and testing.
H. Construction Materials: Building sewers shall be constructed using one of the following listed materials:
1. PVC sewer pipe and fittings with solvent welded joints or compression type rubber ring gasket joints conforming to the latest revision of ASTM specification D2751 installed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

Extra heavy cast iron soil pipe and fittings conforming to the latest revision of CISPI specification HS-67 with compression type rubber ring gasket joints, conforming to the latest revision of ASTM specification C564, installed in accordance with the latest revision of the Illinois state plumbing code.
I. Branch Fitting: The connection of the building sewer into the public sewer shall be made at the branch fitting, if such is available at a suitable location. If the public sewer is twelve inches (12") in diameter or less, and no properly located branch fitting is available, the owner shall, at his expense, install a branch fitting in the public sewer at the location specified and installation approved by the supervisor of sewer and water.
J. Connection:
1. Building Sewers Bedded: All building sewers shall be bedded on a layer of gravel or crushed stone, size #67, conforming to the latest revision of ASTM specification D448, to provide a minimum thickness of four inches (4") under and supporting the full bottom quadrant of the pipe. Backfill materials shall be placed and tamped by hand in six inch (6") layers around the pipe to a height of twelve inches (12") over the top of pipe. (Ord. 2010-01, 1-26-2010)
2. Restoration Of Paved Roadways:
a. Backfilling: Where existing roadways or drives have been disturbed by construction, the contractor shall place controlled low strength material, backfill, mix 2 in accordance with section 593 of the latest edition of the Illinois department of transportation (IDOT) "Standard Specifications For Road And Bridge Construction", adopted January 1, 2007, from an elevation of one foot (1') above the pipe up to an elevation four inches (4") below the existing pavement grade. If approved by the village, a temporary driving surface will be provided by filling the remainder of the trench up to the existing surface with CA-6 base course material or an approved equal. Before paving the base course will be graded to the proper elevation for the surfacing material specified.
b. Paving: Where existing roadways or drives have been disturbed by construction, the contractor shall restore the roadway in accordance with all applicable portions of division 400 of the latest edition of the Illinois department of transportation (IDOT) "Standard Specifications For Road And Bridge Construction", adopted January 1, 2007.

No building sewer shall be laid parallel to or within three feet (3') of any bearing wall which might thereby be weakened. The depth shall be sufficient to afford protection from frost. In all buildings in which any building drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the public sewer, sewage carried by such drains shall be lifted by approved pumping devices and discharged to the building sewer.
4. Check Valve Installed: In areas designated floodplain or flood area, a check valve shall be installed on the sewer line to prevent backup of sewage during high water conditions.
