(A) The Superintendent of Public Utilities shall cause to be made periodic visual outside, inside and underground inspections of all properties within the village, with specific attention to downspouts, roof drains, and other inside, outside and underground connections and shall request the property owner of property occupant to permit entry into the premises for the making of additional inspection of the premises to ascertain if illegal connections are present.
(B) Upon completion of the visual inside, outside and underground inspections, the Superintendent of Public Utilities will advise the property owner, in writing, if any illegal connections are observed, and will advise on the matter of corrections for compliance with the provisions of this subchapter.
(C) If corrections are to be made, the village will, at no expense to the owner, make further inspection of the corrections to insure compliance with this subchapter.
(D) If entrance to property is denied an employee or agent of the village, the superintendent of public works shall serve notice upon the owner or resident requiring, within a period of 30 days, a written affidavit by a licensed professional engineer that the sewage system of the subject property complies in all respects to the requirements and specifications of this subchapter. In the event the property owner fails to provide the aforementioned affidavit within 30 days, the property shall be deemed to be in noncompliance.
(E) After 60 days following the above notice, any property in noncompliance with the provisions of this section is hereby declared a public nuisance and the owner and resident are subject to the penalty hereinafter set forth.
(F) In addition to the visual inside, outside and underground inspections of the premises, the Superintendent of Public Utilities shall cause other lawful tests and inspections of the sewer system to be made as the Superintendent deems necessary in order to locate such illegal connections and sources of extraneous flows as may exist. The village may also invoke other legal powers vested in it by the Illinois Compiled Statutes for the protection of the health and welfare of the public, and institute such legal action as it deems necessary to discover and order the disconnection of any illegal connections that may exist.
