No person shall permit or cause water from the roof of any building, or storm or surface water, to be directly connected by downspouts, pipes, conduits or other devices or apparatus to a drain connected with the sanitary sewerage system of the City. It is the intention of this section to prohibit any person from making, continuing or allowing the existence of any type of connection with eave troughs or other drains on a building with the City's sanitary sewerage system, or any other drain emptying into the City's sanitary sewerage system, so as to cause storm water, surface water or water from any such building to drain into the sanitary sewerage system through eave troughs, drain pipes, downspouts, conduits or other devices. This section is declared to be necessary in the interests of the public health, safety and welfare to relieve flooding, to control pollution and to help minimize the City's cost for charges for excess flow entering the sewage disposal system.
