(A) No person(s) shall discharge or cause to be discharged through any leak, defect or connection any unpolluted waters such as stormwater, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface drainage or cooling water to any sanitary sewer, building sewer, building drain or building plumbing. The Superintendent or his or her representative shall have the right, at any time, to inspect the inside or outside of buildings or smoke test for connections, leaks or defects to building sewers and require disconnection or repair of any pipes carrying the water to the building sewer. These waters shall not be removed through the dual use of a sanitary drain sump or a sump pump to building sanitary sewer. Discharge of the waters by a manual switch-over from sanitary sewer to storm drainage will not be an acceptable method of separation. In case both storm and sanitary sewage is present, a separate drainage or pumping system shall be included.
(B) Stormwater, groundwater and all other unpolluted drainage may be discharged to the sewers used as storm sewers approved by the Superintendent. Under no circumstances shall sanitary sewage be discharged to a storm sewer.
(C) The owner(s) of any building sewers having any connections, leaks or defects shall bear all costs incidental to removal of those sources.
