(B) All disposal by any person into the sewer system is unlawful except those discharges in compliance with federal standards promulgated pursuant to the federal act and more stringent state and local standards.
(C) There shall be two (2) classes of building sewer permits: 1) for residential wastewater service and 2) for commercial, institutional and governmental service and service to establishments producing industrial wastes. In either case, the owner or his agent shall make application to the village clerk on a special form furnished by the village. The permit application shall be supplemented with any plans, specifications, or other information considered pertinent in the judgment of the inspector. The sewer service connection fee, as provided in chapter 2 of this title, shall be paid to the village clerk at the time the application is filed.
(D) A building sewer permit will only be issued and a sewer connection shall only be allowed if it can be demonstrated that the downstream sewerage facilities, including sewers, pump stations and wastewater treatment facilities, have sufficient reserve capacity to adequately and efficiently handle the additional anticipated waste load.
(E) All costs and expense incidental to the installation and connection of the building sewer shall be borne by the owner. The owner shall indemnify the village from any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation of the building sewer.
(F) A separate and independent building sewer shall be provided for every building, except where one building stands at the rear of another on an interior lot, both buildings being owned by the same party, and no private sewer is available or can be constructed to the rear building through an adjoining alley, court, yard or driveway, the building sewer from the front building may be extended to the rear building and the whole considered as one building sewer. In the event that a duplex building is owned by separate parties, each living unit shall be considered a separate building and a separate and independent building sewer shall be provided for each unit.
(G) Old building sewers may be used in connection with new buildings only when they are found, on examination and test by the inspector, to meet all requirements of this chapter.
(H) The materials and specifications listed here shall be considered as minimum requirements. All materials used in building sanitary sewers shall meet these minimum requirements:

Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, service laterals (from building to riser) shall be constructed of extra strength clay sewer pipe and fittings meeting the requirements of ASTM C-700 with joints meeting the requirements of ASTM C-425; or poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) plastic pipe and fittings meeting the requirements of ASTM D-3034, SDR 35, with joints meetings the requirements of ASTM D-3212 or poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) plastic pipe and fittings meeting the requirements of ASTM D-1785. Schedule 40, with joints meeting the requirements of ASTM D-3212. If installed in filled or unstable ground, the pipe shall be laid on a suitable improved bed or cradle as approved by the inspector. All joints shall be made in strict accordance with manufacturer's recommendations.
(I) All of the above pipe and any other pipe material that may be considered henceforth shall meet the following requirements:
1. Minimum crushing strength shall be one thousand five hundred (1,500) pounds per linear foot.
2. The pipe and fittings shall be capable of withstanding the action of a motor device sewer cleaner or roto rooter without damage.
3. No building sewer shall be less than four inches (4") inside diameter and shall be continued undiminished in size from the building drain to the street sewer.
4. Building sewers shall be set at the minimum grade outlined below:
Diameter Of Building Sewer
| Percent Of Slope Per One Hundred Feet
| |
Diameter Of Building Sewer
| Percent Of Slope Per One Hundred Feet
| |
4 inches | 1.00 | |
6 inches | 1.00 | |
8 inches | 0.40 | |
10 inches | 0.28 | |
12 inches | 0.22 | |
14 inches | 0.17 | |
15 inches | 0.15 | |
5. Service connection tap into the public sanitary sewer shall not protrude into the public sewer.
6. If a saddle type connection is used, it shall be compatible with pipe materials to be joined and shall be corrosion proof.
7. Minimum cover shall not be less than three feet (3').
(J) Joints and connections shall be watertight and capable of meeting the water or air tests specified in "Illinois's Recommended Standards For Sewage Works", current edition.
1. Cast Iron Rubber Ring Joint: A rubber ring joint meeting ASA 21.11 for type II and type III pipe shall be permissible.
2. Clay Pipe Joints: All clay pipe joints shall meet the requirements of ASTM C425.
3. PVC Pipe Joints: All PVC pipe joints shall meet the requirements of ASTM D3212.
4. Impermissible Joints: Cold poured joints, taper fit joints, precast bituminous joints (slip seal), hot poured joints, and cement mortar joints are specifically prohibited, as are all other jointing methods not specifically permitted above.
5. Adapters: Adapters shall all be lead poured and sealed as described above or shall be made by means of rubber rings, or shall be rubber sleeves clamped over the pipe. No other jointing systems (as described in "impermissible joints") shall be permitted.
(K) Whenever possible, the building sewer shall be brought to the building at an elevation below the basement floor. In all buildings in which any building drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the public sewer, sanitary sewage carried by such building drain shall be lifted by an approved means and discharged to the building sewer.
(L) No person shall make connection of roof downspouts, exterior foundation drains, areaway drains, or other sources of surface runoff or ground water to a building sewer or building drain which in turn is connected directly or indirectly to a public sanitary sewer.
(M) The connection of the building sewer into the public sewer shall conform to the requirements of the building and plumbing codes or other applicable rules and regulations of the village, or the procedures set forth in appropriate specifications of the American Society of Testing Materials, the Water Pollution Control Federation manual of practice no. 9, and "Standard Specifications For Water And Sewer Main Construction In Illinois". All such connections shall be made gastight and watertight. Any deviation from the prescribed procedures and materials must be approved by the inspector before installation.
(N) The applicant for the building sewer permit shall notify the inspector when the building sewer is ready for inspection and connection to the public sewer. The connection shall be made under the supervision of the inspector or his representative.
