(A) No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged through any leak, defect, or connection any unpolluted water such as stormwater, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, or cooling water to any sanitary sewer, building sewer, building drain or building plumbing. The Superintendent or his representative shall have the right, at any time, to inspect the inside or outside of buildings or smoke test for connections, leaks, or defects to building sewer and require disconnection or repair of any pipes carrying such water to the building sewer. Such waters shall not be removed through the dual use of a sanitary drain sump or a sump pump to building sanitary sewer. The discharge of such waters by a manual switch-over from sanitary sewer to storm drainage will not be an acceptable method of separation. In cases where both storm and sanitary sewage are present, separate drainage or pumping systems shall be included.
(B) Stormwater, groundwater and all other unpolluted drainage may be discharged to such sewers as are used as storm sewers approved by the Superintendent. Unpolluted cooling water or unpolluted process waters may be discharged, on approval of the Superintendent to a storm sewer or natural outlet. Under no circumstances shall sanitary sewage be discharged to a storm sewer.
(C) The owners of any building sewers having such connections, leaks, or defects shall bear all costs incidental to removal of such sources.
