(A) No connection to a sewer main or lateral of the city shall be made prior to obtaining a permit from the city offices. The permit shall specify the property to be served by the sewer tap, the size of the service line to be laid into the sewer main, the method of entrance into the sewer main either through an existing Y or T branch or by sewer saddle installed by the city, and other information as may be deemed necessary and appropriate.
(B) Connections to the main sewer or laterals shall be made into an existing Y or T branch installed at the time of the construction of the sewer line, or into a Y or T saddle installed by the city. No other entrances shall be made into the city sewer main other than those specified above. In those cases where an entrance into the sewer main is requested which requires the installation of a saddle by the city, the applicant will apply at least 24 hours in advance of the time that the tap is required, and shall comply with all procedures required by the City Building Inspector in order to accomplish the sewer tap, including the excavation of dirt down to the sewer line, the clearing of dirt around the sewer at the point where the tap is requested, and the proper back-filling around the sewer main after the saddle has been installed. All excavations in the public streets or alleys shall be properly back-filled and compacted and the original surface restored as nearly as possible to the satisfaction of the City Building Inspector.
(C) Wherever practicable, every building shall have an independent connection with a public or private sewer.
(D) Connection fees shall be set by ordinance and on file in the office of the City Clerk. The fees are set out herein in Chapter 38, Fee Schedule.
