If there is no wye or tee, the connection to the sewer main or lateral shall be made by one of the methods indicated below. If another method is desired, a detail shall be submitted for review and approval by the Metropolitan Sanitary District before the connection is made. Indiscriminate breaking of the sewer main pipe is not permitted.
