The Town reserves the right to adopt, from time to time, in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, such additional rules and regulations as it shall deem necessary and proper in connection with use and operation of the sewerage works, which rules and regulations shall become and shall be construed as part of this Part 3.
Before making any sewer connection, the owner or his or her agents shall obtain a permit from the Town Clerk after paying a fee in an amount as set from time to time by resolution of the Town Board.
All workmanship and materials shall conform to the requirements of these rules. Notice must be given to the Town by the owner or his or her agent when the work is ready for inspection. Inspection will be made by the Town within 48 hours, excluding weekends and legal holidays, from the time notice is given for the work to be inspected. Under no conditions is any work to be covered up before it has been inspected and tested by the Town (§ 230-167).
A. 
Materials. The owner may use any of the following three types of pipe for the building connection:
(1) 
Service class cast-iron soil pipe conforming to the requirements of ASTM 74-75. Joints shall be hub-and-spigot type with preformed rubber gaskets conforming to Specification HSN of the Cast Iron Soil Pipe Institute.
(2) 
Rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic pipe which shall meet the requirements of ASTM 3034-74-SDR-35. Pipes shall have an integral bell and pipe, and fittings shall be jointed with a solid rubber ring.
(3) 
HDPE pipe upon approval.
B. 
Pipe size. The minimum pipe size for building sewer house connections shall be four inches in diameter.
C. 
Pipe slope. Wherever possible, four-inch sewer connections shall be laid at a slope equal to 1/4 inch per foot. The minimum allowable slope shall be 1/8 inch per foot and under such conditions, consideration should be given for use of six-inch pipe.
D. 
Cleanouts. A cleanout shall be provided on all building drains near the point where the drain leaves the building. An additional cleanout shall be installed for each 100 feet of building sewer which is required to connect to the public sewer. A cleanout shall also be provided for each change of direction of 90º or more. Such cleanouts shall be extended to grade and constructed in such manner as to allow ready access of a sewer rod for cleaning. Cleanouts shall not be less than four inches in size, and no bend sharper than a one-eighth-bend (45º) shall be used for a change in direction. An additional cleanout shall be installed at the edge of the right-of-way.
E. 
Excavation and backfill.
(1) 
Trenches should be wide enough so as to permit proper installation and inspection of the pipe. Where foundation conditions are suitable, if care is taken to gauge the depth of the trench, it shall be dug as close as possible to the desired level so as to allow the pipe to rest on undisturbed soil. Should an unstable condition be found or if the trench is in rock, it shall be overexcavated by as much as four inches to six inches, and a bed of crushed stone shall be placed on which to lay the pipe.
(2) 
After placement of the pipe and following inspection and approval by the Inspector, the trench may be backfilled. Clean sand or fine gravel shall first be placed to a depth of six inches above the crown of the pipe. Following this, the material excavated from the trench may be used for the remainder of the backfill.
F. 
Performance. All work shall be in accordance with the National Plumbing Code or other applicable state and local codes.
G. 
Plumber registration. Each plumber will be required to register with the Clerk of the Town before he or she will be permitted to do any work described in this Part 3.
