§ 53.056  CONSTRUCTION METHODS.
   (A)   The size, slope, depth and alignment, of the building sewer shall be subject to the approval of the Superintendent. In no case shall the inside diameter of the building sewer be less than four inches. If six-inch diameter pipe is used, the slope shall not be less than one-eighth inch per foot. If four-inch or five-inch diameter pipe is used, the slope shall not be less one-fourth-inch per foot. The depth of the building sewer shall be sufficient to afford protection from frost. The building sewer shall be laid at a uniform grade and in straight alignment, insofar as possible. Changes in direction shall be made only with properly curved pipe and fittings, unless the break in alignment is made at a manhole facilitating servicing. Installation shall be in accordance with Standard Specifications for Water and Sewer Main Construction in Illinois.
