BUILDING SEWERS AND CONNECTIONS
(A) No unauthorized person shall uncover, make any connections with or opening into, use, alter, or disturb any public sewer or appurtenance thereof without first obtaining a written permit from the city. There shall be two classes of building sewer permits.
(1) Residential and commercial service.
(2) Service to establishments producing industrial wastes.
(B) The city shall not issue a permit for any class of connection to the city sewer system unless there is sufficient capacity, not legally committed to other users, in the sewer and treatment facilities to convey and adequately treat the quantity of sewage which the requested connection will add to the system. The city shall permit such a connection if there are legally binding commitments to provide the needed capacity.
(Ord. 118, passed 10-23-80; Am. Ord. 1518, passed 11-6-14) Penalty, see § 10.99
For a building sewer permit, the owner or his or her agent shall make application on a special form furnished by the city. The permit application shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications, or other information considered pertinent in the judgment of the city. A connection, permit, and inspection fee as periodically established by the city for a residential or commercial building sewer permit or for an industrial building sewer permit shall be paid to the city at the time the application is filed.
(Ord. 118, passed 10-23-80; Am. Ord. 1518, passed 11-6-14)
All costs and expenses incident to the installation and connection of the building sewer shall be borne by the owner. The owner shall indemnify the city from any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation of the building sewer.
(Ord. 118, passed 10-23-80; Am. Ord. 1518, passed 11-6-14)
A separate and independent building sewer shall be provided for every building. However, where one building stands at the rear of another on an interior lot and no private sewer is available or can be constructed to the rear building through an adjoining alley, court, yard, or driveway, the building sewer from the front building may be extended to the rear building and the whole considered as one building sewer. The city assumes no obligation or responsibility for damage caused by or resulting from any single building sewer which serves two buildings.
