No house, building or premises shall be connected with the public sewer without permits therefor issued by the Building Official. All connections of building sewers to the public sewers shall be made through “Y” connections, if available. Where no branch is available in the public sewer line and with the approval of the Building Official, a neat hole may be cut in the public sewer to receive the building sewer connection with entry in the downstream direction at an angle of about 45 degrees. The invert of the building sewer at the point of connection shall be at a point four inches or more above the invert of public sewer. Where possible, all connections shall be made by the use of a saddle and a smooth, neat joint shall be made and the connection made secure and watertight by incasement in concrete; provided, that a 45 degree factory-made “L” may be used to make such a connection with the spigot end cut off as not to extend past the inner surface of the public sewer, with the approval of the Building Official. All taps and connections into the public sewer lateral shall be inspected and approved by the Building Official before the work is covered.
