Whenever it comes to the attention of the Director that sewage is overflowing from any plumbing fixture which is located below the elevation of the rim of the nearest upstream main sewer manhole due to the backing up of sewage in the public sewer, or due to pressure in the public sewer, or due to any cause whatsoever, except a temporary stoppage in any such plumbing fixture, the Director may order and require the plumbing fixture to be plugged up, or capped, or may require that a back-water trap or backwater sewer valve be installed to prevent such overflow.
