(2) New construction tributary to the existing combined sewer shall be designed in a manner to minimize or delay inflow contribution to the existing combined sewer.
(D) The property owner shall receive approval of the Superintendent prior to construction and connection to the system. The Superintendent shall inspect the construction and the testing process.
