(a) Prohibition on Unpolluted Water. No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any unpolluted surface water, groundwater, roof runoff, storm water, subsurface 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 an appropriate manner approved by 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 any building(s) situated within the Village is required at his expense to disconnect all existing roof drains from sanitary and combined sewers in 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 storm water. It is prohibited that any new construction of discharge units shall have any storm water 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. Storm water 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 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. If a sanitary sewer is not available within 200 feet of the lot or property line, the discharge unit shall be connected to a combined sewer or an approvable individual sewage treatment system. In either such event, the connection shall be watertight from the discharge unit to the sewer.
(d) 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.
(e) Fees for connection to Village sewers shall be in accordance with a schedule adopted by Council. (Ord. 6-86. Passed 2-20-86.)
