(a) No person, corporation, public agency, partnership or association whatsoever shall connect, or cause to be connected, any building or other structure directly or indirectly to the wastewater collection, treatment and disposal system of this Village (the System) without first securing a permit from the Service Director of this Village in accordance with, and complying with the other requirements of, this Section.
(b) An application for a permit under this Section, in a form prescribed by the Service Director, shall be signed by the person, organization, partnership, installer or contractor who will perform the work of installing the wastewater service connection to the System. That application shall clearly identify the location of the connection, the fixtures to be connected, the size of such connection being applied for, an identifying number for the relevant lot to which such connection is being made, the anticipated average and maximum daily flows to the System, and the anticipated characteristics and concentrations (including the concentration parameters set forth in Section 933.08 of this Chapter) of those flows to the System. The application shall be filed by the applicant with the Service Director of the Village who shall, within thirty days of such receipt, examine that application, and, if in conformity with the requirements hereof, and if there is, in the judgment of the Engineer, sufficient capacity in the System to handle the expected additional flow (based on the quantity, characteristics and concentrations thereof) from that connection, then the Service Director shall issue a permit for such connection. If the Service Director denies the issuance of a permit, then the applicant may appeal such decision to the Council of the Village within thirty days of being notified in writing by the Service Director of such denial.
(c) Any such connection shall be made in accordance with the construction requirements for such connections established by the Engineer and shall be inspected by the Engineer for conformity with those requirements before being made. Furthermore, before any non-residential connection is made to the System, a control manhole and/or sampling facilities or points to facilitate observation, measurement and sampling of the flow from that property to the System shall be located and installed in a manner acceptable to, and pursuant to plans approved by, the Engineer; any such control manhole and/or sampling facilities or points shall be installed by, and at the sole expense of, the entity responsible for that flow and shall be maintained by that entity, at its sole expense, so as to be in a safe condition, accessible and in proper operating condition at all times; if any such control manhole and/or sampling facilities or points are not located in the public right-of-way, then that entity shall also provide a right of access to the Village and its agents (including any entity retained by the Village to operate the System) thereto, in form and substance satisfactory to the Law Director of this Village.
