Where there are multiple buildings or structures situated on one lot and where the lot owner desires to have a common water connection (including a private water distribution system), and a common sewer connection (including a private sewage collection system), he or she must meet the following requirements.
(A) The building or buildings to be served shall be in compliance with all applicable zoning regulations.
(B) The building permit and plot shall show a single owner and shall indicate the complex of buildings to be constructed on a single lot.
(C) The applicant shall be required to submit to the city a site plan showing the proposed water and sewer systems. Such plans shall be prepared by a registered professional engineer who shall also provide satisfactory inspection of the work. Such plans shall include:
(1) Size of water lines, materials to be used for construction, valve locations and hydrant locations. All construction from the property line to the water meter shall be in accordance with city standards and specifications. Construction beyond the water meter may be with materials permitted in the Plumbing Code. All construction shall be performed by either a licensed master plumber or a licensed utility contractor; and
(2) Size of sewers and materials to be used for construction. All sewer lines eight inches or larger in size shall be constructed in accordance with city specifications and standards. All sewer lines smaller than eight inches shall be constructed in accordance with the Plumbing Code. All construction shall be performed by either a licensed master plumber or a licensed utility contractor.
(D) No connection to the city’s system shall be allowed unless the lines to be connected have been installed in accordance with all applicable state and city regulations and requirements. Lines connected in violation of this provision without city permission may be summarily disconnected by the city.
(E) Should a building served by a common connection be conveyed to a new owner, the city shall require a separate water and sewer connection from that building to the mains in the street, except in the case of condominium or townhouse developments.
