Sewer service connections shall comply with the following specifications:
(A) Material: The sewer pipe shall be SDR 26 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe unless the pipe does not meet the minimum required vertical and horizontal distances from a water line, as determined by the Environmental Protection Agency. In such cases, the sewer pipe shall be constructed of water main quality PVC.
(B) Inside Diameter: The inside diameter of the pipe shall be established in accordance with good engineering design to provide for the area to be drained and shall have a minimum diameter of six inches (6").
(C) Joint Connections: A rubber, non-shear mission coupling with stainless steel bands should be used to make the connection between the new and existing service. Sections of new sewer pipe are to be joined using gasketed push fittings; glued joints are not to be used.
(D) Grade: The invert grade of the pipe shall be uniform throughout and not less than one-eighth (1/8) of an inch per foot.
(E) Junctions: The junction between a residential sewer lateral and a Municipal sewer main is the responsibility of the property owner. If this connection is determined by the Village to be in need of replacement, the property owner should install a new polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tee fitting at the location of the connection on the main line sanitary sewer. The PVC tee should be connected to the sewer main using rubber, non-shear mission couplings with stainless steel bands.
(F) Pipe Laying: The pipe shall be laid in straight lines and shall be firmly bedded so as to give uniform support on the lower quadrant of the pipe. The bedding for the pipe should be CA7, CA11, or CA13, and should be placed from four inches (4") below the pipe to twelve inches (12") over the top of the pipe. Tunnels not more than six feet (6') in length will be permitted; otherwise all excavation shall be open trench work. No pipe shall be laid in wet trenches. In unstable ground, provision shall be made to protect the work and secure the permanence of the installation.
(G) Backfilling: Trenches under pavements, Village or other utilities or installations and for a distance of three feet (3') on either side shall be backfilled with CA6 or approved equivalent. Excess excavated materials shall be removed at the expense of the owner.
(H) Separate Sanitary And Storm Sewer Services: A separate and independent sanitary sewer service and a separate and independent storm sewer service shall be provided for every new building connected to the public sewer. "Storm sewerage" shall be defined as stormwaters, surface ground water drainage, and subsurface footing drainage, but excluding sewage and industrial waters. However, in combined sewer areas the separate sanitary and storm sewer services may be connected together once the service sewer pipes enter the public right-of-way. The separate storm sewer service shall be disconnected from the combined sewer and connected to a storm sewer within three hundred sixty five (365) days if a storm sewer becomes available within two hundred feet (200') of the service entering the public right-of-way.
(I) Downspouts: Downspouts on new construction shall be discharged to flow overland, except where a waiver has been granted by the Village Engineer.
(J) Footing Drains: Footing drains on new construction shall be pumped to discharge flow overland, except where a waiver has been granted by the Village Engineer.
(K) New Connections To The Combined Sewer System: New construction tributary to the combined sewer system shall be designed to minimize and/or delay inflow contributions to the combined sewer system. (Ord. 2965, 8-18-2017)
