P-1115.6 Access for repairs. Separation of Private Water, Sanitary Sewer, and Storm Sewer Infrastructure placed in the same alignment and at a depth not exceeding 5-feet shall comply with Section 603.2 of this code. Infrastructure placed at depths greater than 5-feet shall be horizontally separated at a distance that allows for the approved sheeting and shoring and not less than 2-feet.
P-1115.7 Protection of structures. Private Storm Sewer Infrastructure installed parallel to footings and walls shall not extend into the bearing plane of a footing or wall in accordance with Section 307.5 of this code. Private storm sewer infrastructure shall not be installed within 5 feet (1,524 mm) of any adjoining property line. Private storm sewer infrastructure Pipe shall not be installed within 3 feet (914 mm) of any parallel building foundation.  415
P-1115.8 Cleanouts required. Cleanouts shall be provided for Private Storm Sewer Infrastructure in accordance with the provisions of this code for storm drainage pipe in Section 708.1. Where the public sewer is combined, all building sewers connected to Private Storm Sewer Infrastructure shall be fitted with an approved Building Trap and Fresh Air Inlet.
