Excessive inflow and infiltration of stormwater from any source, private or public into the sanitary sewer system is a hazard to the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the city because such infiltration and inflow overloads the capacity of both the sanitary sewer lines and the treatment facilities. It is therefor necessary for the city to adopt a uniform system of rules and regulations and standards to eliminate sources and prevent inflow and infiltration from entering the public sanitary sewer system from private property.
