(A) No person(s) shall discharge, or cause to be discharged, through any leak, defect or connection any unpolluted waters such as storm water, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface drainage or cooling water to any sanitary sewer, building sewer, building drain or building plumbing. The Manager or his or her representative shall have the right, at any time, to inspect the inside or outside of buildings or smoke test for connections, leaks or defects to building sewers and require disconnection or repair of any pipes carrying the water to the building sewer. The waters shall not be removed through the dual use of a sanitary drain sump or sump pump to building sanitary sewer. Discharge of the waters by manual switch-over from sanitary sewer to storm drainage will not be an acceptable method of separation. In case both storm and sanitary sewage is present, separate drainage or pumping systems shall be included.
(B) Storm water, groundwater and all other unpolluted drainage may be discharged to such sewers as are used as storm sewers approved by the Manager. Unpolluted cooling water or unpolluted process waters may be discharged, on approval of the Manager, to a storm sewer or natural outlet. Under no circumstances shall sanitary sewage be discharged to a storm sewer.
(C) The owners of any building sewers having the connections, leaks or defects shall bear all costs incidental to removal of the sources.
