(A) Classes of permits; application; fees. There shall be two classes of building sewer permits: one for residential and commercial service, and one for service to establishments producing industrial wastes. In either case, the owner or his or her agent shall make application on a form furnished by the village. The permit application shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications or other information considered pertinent in the judgment of the Utility Superintendent. Connection and inspection fees as established by ordinance or resolution shall be paid to the village at the time the application is filed. All non-residential applicants shall, as a condition of permit authorization, provide information describing its wastewater constituents, characteristics and type of activity.
(B) Condition for issuance. A building sewer permit will only be issued and a sewer connection shall only be allowed if it can be demonstrated that the downstream sewerage facilities, including sewers, pump stations and wastewater treatment facilities, have sufficient reserve capacity to adequately and efficiently handle the additional anticipated waste load.
(C) Costs borne by owner. All costs and expense incident to the installation and connection of the building sewer shall be borne by the owner. The owner shall indemnify the village from any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation of the building sewer.
(D) Separate sewer for each building. A separate and independent building sewer shall be provided for every building.
(E) Old building sewers. Old building sewers may be used in connection with new buildings only when they are found, on examination and test by the village, to meet all requirements of this chapter.
(F) Construction specifications. The size, slope, alignment and materials of construction of a building sewer, and the methods to be used in excavating, placing of the pipe, jointing, testing and backfilling the trench, shall all conform to the requirements of the Building and Plumbing Codes or other applicable rules and regulations of the village. In the absence of code provisions or in application thereof, the materials and procedures set forth in appropriate specifications of the American Society of Testing Materials, Water Pollution Control Federation Manual of Practice No. 9 and Standard Specifications for Water and Sewer Main Construction in Illinois, 1973 edition, shall apply, three copies of each being on file in the office of the Village Clerk, and which are hereby adopted by reference.
(G) Elevation. Whenever possible, the building sewer shall be brought to the building at an elevation below the basement floor. In all buildings in which any building drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the public sewer, sanitary sewage carried by the building drain shall be lifted by a means which is approved in accordance with this chapter and discharged to the building sewer.
(H) Roof downspouts prohibited. No person shall make connection of roof downspouts, exterior foundation drains, areaway drains or other sources of surface runoff or ground water to a building sewer or building drain which in turn is connected directly or indirectly to a public sanitary sewer.
(I) Connection to public sewer. The connection of the building sewer into the public sewer shall conform to the requirements of the Building and Plumbing Codes, other applicable rules and regulations of the village, and the procedures set forth in appropriate specifications of the American Society of Testing Materials, Water Pollution Control Federation Manual of Practice No. 9 and Standard Specifications for Water and Sewer Main Construction in Illinois. All these connections shall be made gas-tight and water-tight. Any deviation from the prescribed procedures and materials must be approved by the village before installation.
(J) Inspection. The applicant for the building sewer permit shall notify the village when the building sewer is ready for inspection and connection to the public sewer. The connection shall be made under the supervision of the village or its representative.
(K) Excavations. All excavations for building sewer installation shall be adequately guarded with barricades and lights so as to protect the public from hazard. Streets, sidewalks, parkways and other public property disturbed in the course of the work shall be restored in a manner satisfactory to the village.
