(A) The size, shape, alignment, materials of construction of a building (or house) lateral sewer and the methods to be used in excavating, placing the pipe, jointing testing and backfilling the trench shall conform to the requirements of the Building and Plumbing Codes, the Lebanon Standards and other applicable rules and regulations of the city.
(B) Separate sewer requirements. A separate and independent building (or house) lateral sewer shall be provided for every building (or house); except where one building (or house) stands at the rear of another on an interior lot and no private sewer is available or can be constructed to the rear building (or house) through an adjoining alley, court, yard or driveway. In these cases, the building (or house) lateral sewer from the front building (or house) may be extended to the rear building (or house) and the whole considered as one building (or house) lateral sewer. If the property is divided into separate ownership, the sanitary sewer should be separated. If the line cannot be separated, a written agreement should be attached to both parcels for future reference.
(C) Use of old building (or house) lateral sewer for new building (or house). Old building (or house) lateral sewers may be used in connection with new buildings (or houses) only when they are determined, upon examination and test by a qualified inspector, to meet all requirements of this subchapter.
(D) Elevation and location of building (or house) lateral sewer. Whenever reasonably possible, the building (or house) lateral sewer shall be brought to the building (or house) at an elevation below the basement floor. In all buildings (or houses) in which any building (or house) drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the appropriate public sewer, wastewater carried by the building (or house) drain shall be lifted by an appropriate means and discharged to the building (or house) lateral sewer. Lift pump systems should be located outside of the building or house unless authorized in writing by the Wastewater Operations Manager.
(E) Connection of downspouts, drains and the like. No person shall hereafter connect or reconnect roof downspouts, footing drains, areaway drains, driveways, parking lots or other sources of surface run-off or groundwater, to a building (or house) lateral sewer or building (or house) drain which is in turn connected directly or indirectly to the sewerage system.
(F) Inspection; supervision of connection. The applicant for the building (or house) lateral sewer permit shall notify the Board or its designated representative when a building (or house) lateral sewer is ready for inspection and connection to the sewerage system. The connection shall be made under the supervision of the inspector or his or her representative using materials and techniques conforming to the requirements of the Board.
