The City cannot guarantee the exact location of any existing wye, tee, riser or crossover. The connection of the building sewer into the public sewer shall be made at a riser, tee or wye, if such outlet is available at a suitable location. Where no properly located riser, tee or wye is available in the public sewer, the owner shall, at his expense, cut a neat hole into the public sewer to receive the building sewer, with entry in the downstream direction at an angle of about forty-five degrees (45o) and at the location specified by the Service Director. No sewer less than ten inches in diameter shall be tapped. A wye or tee shall be installed for six inch or eight inch sewer. The connection of the building sewer to the public sewer shall, in general, be above and near the spring line of the sewer, but never in the top of the public sewer. A forty-five degree (45o) ell may be used to make such connection, with the spigot end cut so as not to extend past the inner surface of the public sewer. A smooth, neat joint shall be made, and the connection made secure and watertight by approved waterproof joint material before encasing in concrete. Concrete encasement shall not be considered waterproof. Special fittings may be used for the connection only when approved by the Service Director. Any damage to the public sewer pipe during installation of the connection shall require replacement of the entire length of sewer pipe damaged, at the sewer contractor's expense.
