(A) No unauthorized person shall uncover, make any connections with or opening into, use, alter or disturb any public sewer or appurtenances without first obtaining a written permit from the Municipal Clerk-Treasurer. Before a permit may be issued for excavating for plumbing in any public street, way or alley, the person applying for such permit shall have executed unto the village and deposited with the Municipal Clerk-Treasurer a surety bond in the sum set by the governing body and on file in the Municipal Clerk-Treasurer’s office, conditioned that he or she will perform faithfully all work with due care and skill, and in accordance with the laws, rules and regulations established under the authority of any ordinances of the village pertaining to plumbing. This bond shall state and indemnify and save harmless the village and the owner of the premises against all damages, costs, expenses, outlays and claims of every nature and kind arising out of unskillfulness or negligence on his or her part in connection with plumbing or excavating for plumbing as prescribed in this chapter. Such bond shall remain in force and must be executed for a period of two years, except that on such expiration it shall remain in force as to all penalties, claims and demands that may have accrued thereunder prior to such expiration.
(B) The municipality shall install and maintain the main and Ys for each user connection. The customer shall install and maintain at his or her expense that portion of the service from the Y on the main to his or her premises. The size and slope of the building sewers shall be subject to the approval of the Inspector, but in no event shall the diameter be less than four inches. Whenever possible, the building sewer shall be brought to the building at an elevation below the basement floor.
