CONNECTION REGULATIONS
§ 51.030  CONNECTION TO PUBLIC SEWERS.
   (A)   No owner or occupant of any real property shall tap or drain either directly or indirectly into any public sewer until a sewer tap permit has been obtained and until he has satisfied his obligation to pay all assessments, reimbursement, or prorated shares of sewer extension costs laid against that property for public sewers installed to serve it.  A tap permit given in error or sewerage service charges billed to a property in error shall not operate to nullify any such obligation that has been duly recorded.
   (B)   The Utility Service Board shall have the authority to require an owner of real property to disconnect from a building sewer which drains into a sanitary sewer any downspouts, basement sub-surface drains, cistern overflows, yard drains, or other drains which carry the runoff of natural precipitation.  Property owners shall have 30 days after notice to comply with any such requirements. The Utility Service Board shall not authorize any tap permit which will cause excess flow, BOD or suspended solid loading of the wastewater treatment plant, force, mains, lift stations, or sewers.
