(A) Notification. It shall be the duty of the holder of a connection permit to notify the Director in the manner described on the sanitary sewer connection permit that the sewer work is available for inspection. Notifications must be made a minimum of 24 hours in advance. The Director may conduct inspections on building sewer connections from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. local time, Monday through Friday, except for observed City holidays. The building sewer, in its entirety from the foundation to the connection with the public sewer or existing lateral, must be exposed for inspection and be properly bedded in accordance with the City’s standard specifications to one-half the diameter of the building sewer. It is further the duty of the permit holder to install safety barricades, fences or other safety measures while waiting for an inspection. The permit holder may backfill the building sewer trench if the Department has not made an inspection within a 48-hour period after notice has been given to the Department. In the event the building sewer is not completed and ready for inspection upon the inspector’s arrival, the permit holder shall pay a reinspection fee in the amount imposed under § 5-1-4-5 and provide a new notification as described above. An inspection may be waived with or without conditions with the approval of the Director.
(B) Right of entry. The Director shall have the right of entry to, upon or through any premises for purposes of inspection of sewer work and any other construction activity performed on or associated with the connection of the building sewer to the City’s sewer, including inspection for clear water discharges into the sewer.
