(A) Prohibition on unpolluted water. No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any (unpolluted) surface water, groundwater, roof runoff, stormwater, sub-surface drainage, uncontaminated cooling water, or unpolluted industrial process waters to any sanitary sewer. Any existing roof drain connections to sanitary or combined sewers shall be connected into an available storm sewer or shall be disconnected above ground in any appropriate manner approved by the Village Council. Discharges from roof drains emptying onto the ground surface shall be at least three feet from adjacent property line and shall in no way be directed to flood or otherwise cause damage to adjoining property. The owner of all buildings situated within the village is required at his or her expense to disconnect all existing roof drains from sanitary and combined sewers accordance with the provisions of this section within 180 days after the date of official notice to do so. Discharge units connecting to a village sanitary sewer or combination sewer shall be free of all stormwater. It is prohibited that any new construction of discharge units shall have any stormwater connections of roof drains, footer and foundation tiles or any other connection to a sanitary sewer or combination sewer.
(B) Allowable discharge of unpolluted water. Stormwater and all other unpolluted drainage shall be discharged to such sewers as are specifically designated as acceptable combined sewers or storm sewers or to a natural outlet approved by the Village Council and other regulatory agencies.
(C) Wastewater discharge. Discharge units having sanitary water shall be connected to a village sanitary sewer, if one is within 200 feet of any of the lot or property lines of that discharge unit. In either such event, the connection shall be water tight from the discharge unit to the sewer.
(D) Sewer tapping. No new connections or alterations to existing connections shall be made to any of the sewer systems of the village without prior permission of the Village Council or its authorized representative, nor shall the village allow any new connections, unless there is sufficient downstream sewer capacity and sufficient treatment capacity. The village reserves the right to limit any connections that may cause the POTW to violate compliance with the NPDES permit.
(E) Sanitary sewer design requirements. All sanitary sewers to be constructed in the village shall be designed in accordance with the Water Pollution Control Federation’s Manual of Practice No. 9 “Design and Construction of Sanitary and Storm Sewers”, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency’s requirements, and the village requirements, whichever is most stringent
