(a) Y-branches and stubs shall be placed at frequent intervals along the main or lateral sewer. A record of such Y-branches and stubs is kept in the office of city engineer and will be furnished to the sewer builder for his information, but the city does not guarantee the accuracy or actual existence of the location. All connections with the public sewer system must be made at such Y- branches or stubs except as approved by the city. The breaking of any pipe of any main or lateral sewer to connect a house connection shall be deemed a misdemeanor and subject the sewer builder to a fine as provided in this article; and, in addition to such fine, he shall pay all expenses of taking up such sewer and rebuilding it to the satisfaction of the Authority or his authorized representative. On his failure to do so, the sewer builder shall forfeit his license, and the charges shall be collected from his sureties.
(b) If the Y-branch or stub cannot be found with a reasonable effort, the city may permit the connection to be made by tapping the main or lateral sewer with a hole of sufficient size to receive the pipe used in the house connection and connecting the building sewer to the city sewer with a sewer saddle or Y connection which has been approved by the city.
