(a) The village owns, operates, and manages sanitary sewers in its East Side Sanitary Sewer District. Refer to the Sanitary Sewer Rules and Regulations on file at the Water Clerk’s Office at the Village Administration Building. These sanitary sewer rules and regulations contain a map illustrating the boundary of the East Side Sanitary Sewer District. For all other sanitary sewers in the Village, refer to Trumbull County Sanitary Engineers.
(b) The Village constructs sanitary sewer lines abutting property owned by residents within the Village.
(c) The Village believes that it is desirable to establish a uniform policy governing when the Village shall permit property owners to tap into a sanitary sewer line abutting their property and to establish a policy for the sharing of costs for such tap in.
(d) The following policy which has been recommended by C T Consultants, Inc., shall become the uniform policy governing sanitary sewer “tap-ins” within the Village of Lordstown:
(1) Properties having a dwelling located on the property at the time the sewer line is being installed abutting said property shall receive one tap per dwelling. A tap shall consist of a saddle over the sewer main and an extension pipe extending from the sewer line to the edge of the road right of way on the side of the road where the dwelling is situated. Costs for such tap shall be borne by the Village and charged to Village Capital Improvements Fund.
(2) Properties without a dwelling shall not receive a tap unless arrangements have been made previous to installation of the sewer main. Cost of such tap will be at the property owner’s expense and paid for by the property owner before installation of such tap.
(3) In both cases, it shall be the property owner’s responsibility to provide and pay for the service sewer connection from the tap to the dwelling.
(4) Sewer taps installed after the sewer line has been installed shall be at the property owner’s expense, but must be completed per governing sanitary sewer rules and regulations.
