(A) Where a public sanitary or combined sewer is not available under the provisions of § 50.008(D), the building sewer shall be connected to a private wastewater disposal system complying with the provisions of this section.
(B) Before commencement of construction of a private wastewater disposal system the owner shall first obtain a written permit from the Hamilton County Health Department.
(C) The type, capacities, location and layout of a private wastewater disposal system shall comply with all recommendations of IDEM.
(D) Old building sewers may be used in connection with new buildings only when they are found on examination and test by the Utility Director to meet all requirements of this chapter.
(E) The size, slope, alignment, materials of construction of a building sewer, and the methods to be used in excavating, placing of the pipe, jointing, testing, and backfilling the trench shall all conform to the requirements of the building and plumbing code or other applicable rules and regulations of the City. In the absence of code provisions or in amplification thereof, the materials and procedures set forth in appropriate specifications of the ASTM and WCF Manual of Practice No. 9 shall apply.
(F) Whenever possible, the building sewer shall be brought to the building at an elevation below the basement floor. In all buildings in which any building drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the public sewer, sanitary sewage carried by such building drain shall be lifted by an approved means and discharged to the building sewer.
(G) No person shall make connection of roof downspouts, foundation drains, areaway drains, or other sources of surface runoff or groundwater to a building sewer or building drain that is connected directly or indirectly to a public sanitary sewer unless such connection is approved by the Utility Director for purposes of disposal of polluted surface drainage.
(H) The connection of the building sewer into the public sewer shall conform to the requirements of the building and plumbing code or other applicable rules and regulations of the City or the procedures set forth in appropriate specifications of the ASTM and the WPCF Manual of Practice No. 9. All such connections shall be made gastight and watertight and verified by proper testing. Any deviation from the prescribed procedures and materials must be approved by the Utility Director before installation.
(I) The applicant for the building sewer permit shall notify the Utility Director when the building sewer is ready for inspection and connection to the public sewer. The connection and testing shall be made under the supervision of the Utility Director or his representative.
(J) All excavations for building sewer installation shall be adequately guarded with barricades and lights to protect the public from hazard. Streets, sidewalks, parkways, and other public property disturbed during the work shall be restored in a manner satisfactory to the City.
(K) No person shall construct new combined sewers outside of the existing combined sewer service area.
(L) For new buildings, the inflow/clear water connection to a combined sewer shall be made separate and distinct from sanitary waste connection to facilitate disconnection of the former if a separate storm sewer subsequently becomes available.
