(A) No person(s) shall discharge or cause to be discharged through any leak, defect, or connection any unpolluted waters such as stormwater, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, or cooling water to any sanitary sewer, building sewer, building drain or building plumbing. The Superintendent or his or her representative shall have the right, at any time, to inspect the inside or outside of buildings or smoke test for connections, leaks, or defects to building sewers and require disconnection or repair of any pipes carrying such water to the building sewer. No sanitary drain sump or sump pump discharge by manual switch-over of discharge connection shall have a dual use for removal of such water.
(B) Stormwater, groundwater and all other unpolluted drainage may be discharged to such sewers as are used as storm sewers approved by the Superintendent. Unpolluted cooling water or unpolluted process waters may be discharged, on approval of the Superintendent to a storm sewer or natural outlet.
(C) The owners of any building sewers having such connections, leaks, or defects shall bear all costs incidental to removal of such sources.
