(A) No owner or occupant of any real property shall tap or drain either directly or indirectly into any public sewer until a sewer tap permit has been obtained and until he or she has satisfied his or her obligation to pay all assessments, reimbursements or pro rata shares of sewer extension costs laid against that property for public sewers installed to serve it. A tap permit given in error or sewerage service charges billed to a property in error shall not operate to nullify any such legal obligation that has been duly recorded.
(B) The town shall have the authority to require an owner of real property to disconnect from a building sewer which drains into a sanitary sewer any downspout, yard drains or other drains which carry the runoff of natural precipitation. Property owners shall have 30 days after notice to comply with this requirement.
(C) No person shall make any new connection or maintain a connection of roof downspout; exterior or interior foundation drains or sump pumps; areaway drains; pool drains (or drainage directly from any pool); shop or garage floor drains; or other sources of surface runoff or groundwater to a building drain which in turn is connected directly or indirectly to the sewage system.
