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 village.
(A) Each connection shall be made at the "Y" designated for that property. Only where the designated "Y" is not located within three feet of the point of measurements furnished by the Superintendent, will a tap-in connection be allowed.
(1) 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 Village or the procedures set forth in appropriate specifications of the American Society of Testing Materials and the Water Pollution Control Federation Manual of Practice No. 9 and the latest edition of Standard Specifications for Water and Sewer Main Construction in Illinois. All such connections shall be made gastight and watertight. Any deviation from the prescribed procedures and materials must be approved by the Plumbing Inspector before installation.
(2) The person making the connection shall make an opening in the main sewer similar to the interior diameter of the "Y" branch and then properly cement and attach a saddle in place. The saddle shall have a suitable curvature to conform to the outside diameter of the public sewer.
(B) 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 village. In the absence of code provisions or in amplification thereof, the materials and procedures set forth in appropriate specifications of the A.S.T.M. and W.P.C.F. Manual of Practice No. 9 and the latest edition of Standard Specifications for Water and Sewer Main Construction in Illinois shall apply.
(C) 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. Ordinance Number 88-05, adopted June 27, 1988 provides the following:
(1) Overhead sanitary sewers. Every building constructed in the village, having a basement or below ground level facilities, shall be required to have "Overhead Sanitary Sewers".
(2) Overhead sanitary sewers shall be defined as a sanitary sewer outlet that exits the building no more than four feet below the property elevation adjacent to the building.
(D) No person shall make connection of roof downspouts, exterior foundation drains, areaway drains, or other sources of surface runoff or groundwater to a building sewer or building drain which in turn is connected directly or indirectly to a public sanitary sewer.
(E) The applicant for the building sewer permit shall notify the Plumbing Inspector when the building sewer is ready for inspection and connection to the public sewer. Each and every part of a sewer connection shall be inspected and approved by the Superintendent or his representative before being concealed or backfilled. If any person refuses or neglects to disconnect any sewer connected in violation of this section, the village may disconnect the sewer at the expense of the property owner from whose premises sewer connected in violation hereof extends.
(F) Any person filling in an excavation without having first received the written approval of the Sewer Inspector or Zoning Administrator as provided in this chapter, shall, in addition to suffering the fine herein imposed, expose the sewer for inspection by the Superintendent or Zoning Administrator at no cost to the village. In any case where the Zoning Administrator finds the work on any sewer not done in a satisfactory manner as herein provided, he shall serve written notice on the person to whom the permit is issued, stating wherein such work is deficient, and ordering said person to remedy such defect within 24 hours. In the event such person fails to comply therewith, the Zoning Administrator shall cause such defect to be corrected at the expense of the person to whom the permit was issued. The sum of $25 as herein provided shall be paid to the Clerk as a fee for the performance of the Zoning Administrator, and it shall be the duty of the Inspector to inspect any sewer connection or sewer pipe within the village. It shall also be the duty of the Inspector to inform the Approving Authority of any violation of this chapter, and to assist in the prosecution of offenders. All excavations for building sewer installation shall comply with the provisions of this code relating to excavations in streets and shall be adequately guarded with barricades and lights so as to protect the public from hazard. Streets, sidewalks, parkways, and other public property disturbed in the course of the work shall be restored in a manner satisfactory to the village.
