(A) Discharge. No person shall cause, allow, or permit any roof drain, surface drain, sub-soil drain, drain from any mechanical device, gutter, ditch, pipe, conduit, sump pump, or any other object or thing used for the purposes of collecting, conducting, transporting, diverting, draining, or discharging clear water from any part of any private premises owned or occupied by said person to discharge into a sanitary sewer.
(B) Nuisance. The discharge into a sanitary sewer from any drain enumerated in division (A) above is hereby declared to be a public nuisance and a hazard to the health, safety, and well-being of the residents of the village and to the protection of property.
(C) Groundwater. Where deemed necessary by the Plumbing Inspector, every dwelling shall have a sump pump installed for the purpose of discharging clear waters from foundation drains and ground infiltration and, where the building is not serviced by a storm sewer, shall either discharge into an underground conduit leading to a drainage ditch, gutter, or dry well, or shall discharge onto the ground surface in such other manner as will not constitute a nuisance as defined herein. All clear water shall be discharged to the rear of the lot unless the Building Inspector approves another location.
(D) Catch basins and receptacles. See Wis. Adm. Code SPS Chapters 382 to 387 and SPS §§ 325.01 and 325.02.

(F) Conducting tests. If the Plumbing Inspector or his or her designated agent suspects an illegal clear water discharge, as defined by this subchapter or by any other applicable provision of the Wis. Adm. Code as it may from time to time be amended, he or she may, upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times, enter the private premises where such illegal clear water discharge is suspected and conduct appropriate tests to determine whether such suspected illegal clear water discharge actually exists.
