The City cannot guarantee the exact location of any existing wye, tee, riser or crossover. The connection of the building sewer into the public sewer shall be made at a riser or wye, if such outlet is available at a suitable location. Where no properly located riser or wye is available in the public sewer the owner shall at his expense cut a neat hole into the public sewer to receive the building sewer, with entry in the downstream direction at an angle of about forty-five degrees and at the location specified by the City Inspector. The connection of the building sewer to the public sewer shall in general be above and near the spring line of the sewer, but never in the top of the public sewer. A forty-five degree ell may be used to make such connection, with the spigot end cut so as not to extend past the inner surface of the public sewer. A smooth, neat joint shall be made, and the connection made secure and watertight by approved waterproof joint material before encasing in concrete. Concrete encasement shall not be considered waterproof. Special fittings may be used for the connection only when approved by the City Inspector. (See Appendix No. 3, Figure 2 for construction details of the building sewer connections). Any damage to the main sewer pipe during installation of the connection shall require replacement of the entire length of main sewer pipe damaged, at the sewer contractor's expense.
