The Village Administrator, the Village Public Works Superintendent, or an authorized agent designated by the Administrator or Superintendent, shall be assigned the duty to inspect and test private sanitary and storm lateral lines, to verify that said lines are installed in conformity with the provisions of this chapter; i.e. that there are no cross connections permitted untreated sewage to flow into the storm sewer system, or cross connections permitting storm water to flow into the sanitary storm sewer system. If possible, inspection and testing of private laterals shall be arranged by agreement with the owner or person in control of the property. If an agreement to inspect or test can not be reached, notice of intent to inspect shall be given, in writing, to the property owner or person in control of said property, at least 48 hours before a planned inspection or test is to be conducted. If the property owner or person in control of the property refuses to allow the inspection or test, the Village shall then serve notice that the lateral line that could not be inspected or tested and will be disconnected on a date specified in said notice, not more than 60 days from the date said notice is served, unless suitable arrangements to complete the inspection or testing are made. If the lateral line is disconnected as a result of a failure or refusal to allow inspection and testing, it shall not be reconnected until all costs incurred to disconnect and reconnect the line, plus the cost of completing the inspection and testing and of preparing and serving the required notices is paid in full.
