(A) All connections shall be made and maintained in accordance with village specifications and standards. No person shall:
(1) Construct or connect a service line to a village system until a permit has been issued by the village;
(2) Connect a service line to more than one building or facility without the prior approval of the village;
(3) Install, cause to be installed, or, with knowledge thereof, permit to exist a connection, tap pipe, or other obstruction which protrudes into or otherwise obstructs a water or sewer line; or
(4) Connect any source of storm, surface or ground water into a village system or a service line.
(B) All floor drains, sink traps, stand pipes, or other openings into the sanitary sewer service line which are in the basement level or, if there is no basement, on the ground floor level, shall be plugged or sealed to eliminate storm, surface, or ground water entering the service line. No pumps shall be discharged into the service line.
(C) (1) No permits shall be issued nor shall any such connections be made unless and until the fees and deposits herein imposed, along with all other charges and fees that pertain to that village system, have been paid.
(2) The payment of the fees and deposits enumerated in these regulations does not relieve any person from the responsibilities enumerated in these regulations.
(D) Unless authorized otherwise by the village, all permits shall become null and void if not used within 90 days from the date of issuance. Upon application by the owner, 50% of the connection or tap fee and all inspection shall be refunded after a permit becomes null and void. If not requested by the owner within one year of the date of issuance, no refund shall be made and the funds so collected shall be used by the village as if the connection of tap was made.
