(a) No person shall uncover, make any connection with or opening into, use, alter or disturb any public sanitary sewer or appurtenance thereof, including raising or lowering the top rim elevation of a sanitary sewer manhole, without first obtaining a written permit from the urban county engineer.
(b) All permits to tap a sanitary sewer and to construct a building sewer must be obtained from the urban county engineer and signed by a master plumber before any connection with or opening into, use, altering or disturbing of any public sanitary sewer or appurtenance thereof can be made. It shall be the sole responsibility of the property owner to obtain and sign the owner's permit before a sanitary sewer tap permit is issued.
(c) The urban county engineer or his authorized representative is empowered to stop all lateral sanitary sewer construction by a plumber in any phase whatsoever upon finding that no sanitary sewer tap permit has been issued. Violation of the urban county engineer's directive to stop construction shall subject the offender to the penalty provisions of article XII, each day of violation to constitute a separate offense.
