Where a sanitary sewer is available in the street on which premises abut, the owner of such premises shall be required to provide a separate and independent building sewer connecting to every occupied residence or building on such premises, except that where one residence or building stands at the rear of another on an interior lot and no private sewer is available or can be constructed to the rear residence or building through an adjoining alley, court, yard or driveway, the building sewer from the front residence or building may be extended to the rear residence or building, and except that where the City Engineer finds it desirable to allow adjoining property owners to join in a common sewer, they may do so, provided a proper easement for use and maintenance of the sewer is stated on the application. No foundation drains shall be tied into the sanitary sewer.
