(A) No individual sewage disposal system shall be used on a property to which a public sewerage system is available and accessible. When a sewerage system is made available and accessible, any sewage disposal system on such property shall be abandoned within 90 days following the completion of the discharge directly from the building to the sewer. The connection shall be ordered by the village and be in accordance with the Ohio EPA and County Health Department guidelines. Any such abandoned individual sewage disposal system shall be cleaned and filled in accordance with applicable requirements of the Ohio Sanitary Code and the County Health Department.
(B) Connections to a sanitary sewer shall only be permitted where it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Building Supervisor as designated by the Village Manager that the downstream sewerage system has sufficient reserve capacity to adequately and efficiently handle the additional anticipated sanitary sewage load.
(C) All water-borne wastes from toilets, lavatories, bathtubs, showers, laundry tubs, washing machines, refrigeration drips, sinks, basement and garage floor drains (with the use of grease traps), and the like shall be discharged into the sewerage system. Any other wastes will be permitted only upon written authorization from the Village Engineer.
(D) No downspout, surface inlets, foundation drains, subsurface drains or any other source of ground or surface water shall be connected, either directly or indirectly, to any sanitary sewer. Such drains, inlets, and downspout shall be so constructed as to drain or be pumped into the gutter, ditch, or storm sewer.
(E) All costs and expenses associated with the installation of the building sewer shall be borne fully by the property owner. The owner shall indemnify the village against any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly result from the installation of the building sewer.
(G) The character and condition of all wastes shall conform to the provisions of the sewer use ordinance of the village (see Chapter 52 of these codified ordinances), which is incorporated into these rules and regulations.
