§ 51.045 CONNECTION REGULATIONS.
   (A)   No connection to the system will be permitted unless there is capacity available in all downstream sewers, lift stations, force mains, and the sewage treatment plant, including capacity for treatment of B.O.D. and suspended solids.
   (B)   All connections to the system will be made by a licensed contractor or plumber provided, however, that a property owner may make his or her own installation and connection in accordance with the requirements of this chapter and law so long as he/she has secured a connection permit. This does not allow a property owner to hire an unlicensed contractor to do his or her work.
   (C)   All licensed contractors and plumbers making connections to the systems shall file with the city, a copy of their liability insurance prior to performing any connections to the system meeting city requirements.
   (D)   No person shall connect roof downspouts, foundation drains, area way drains, or any sources of surface or ground water to a building sewer which in turn is connected to the system.
   (E)   No building sewer shall be covered until after it has been inspected and approved by authorized personnel of the city or its designee. No building sewer shall be used until final approval after the trench is backfilled; an air test may be required at the owner's expense.
