The following rules and regulations for the governing of licensed plumbers, sewer users and others are hereby adopted and established.
(A) Plumbing. No plumber, pipe fitter or other persons will be permitted to do any plumbing or pipe fitting work in connection with the sewer system without first receiving a proper license from the state.
(B) Application for service. Every person connecting with the sewer system shall file an application in writing to the village on such forms as are prescribed for that purpose. Blanks for such applications will be furnished at the office of the Village Clerk. The application must state fully and truly all the use, which is requested. If the applicant is not the owner of the premises, the written consent of the owner must accompany the application. People connected to the sewer system of the village are referred to herein as “users”. The application may be for service to more than one building, or more than one unit of service through one service connection; and, in such case, charges shall be made accordingly. If it appears that the service applied for will not provide adequate service for the contemplated use, the village may reject the application.
(C) Tap permits. After sewer connections have been introduced into any building or upon any premises, no plumber shall make any alterations, extensions or attachments, unless the party ordering such tapping or other work shall exhibit the proper permit for the same from the village.
(D) User use only. No user shall allow others or other services to connect to the sewer system through his or her lateral.
(E) User to permit inspection. Every user shall permit the village or its duly authorized agent at any reasonable hour of the day, to enter his, her or its premises or building to examine the pipes and fixtures, and the manner in which the drains and sewer connections operate; and they must at all times, frankly and without concealment, answer all questions put to them relative to its use.
(F) Utility responsibility. It is expressly stipulated that no claim shall be made against said village or its representative by reason of the breaking, clogging, stoppage or freezing of any service pipes; nor from any damage arising from repairing mains, making connections or extensions or any other work that may be deemed necessary. The right is hereby reserved to cut off the service at any time for the purpose of repairs or any other necessary purpose, any permit granted or regulation to the contrary notwithstanding. Whenever it shall become necessary to shut off the sewer service within any district of the said Sewer Utility, the village shall, if practicable, give notice to each and every consumer within such affected district of the time when such service will be so shut off.
