Permit procedure.
(1)
A person intending to connect a building drain from his property to the public sewer shall first obtain a permit to connect from the duly authorized agent or representative of the Water Pollution Control Authority of the Town of Plainville. The application shall be made on forms provided by the duly authorized agent or representative of the Water Pollution Control Authority of the Town of Plainville and it shall be accompanied by a sketch or plan showing the proposed installation in sufficient detail to enable the duly authorized agent or representative of the Water Pollution Control Authority of the Town of Plainville to determine that the proposed installation meets the requirements of this regulation and other applicable specifications, codes, and laws. The application shall be signed by the owner of the premises to be served or his authorized agent and by the qualified contractor (see Subsection L) who has been chosen to perform the work of installing and connecting the building drain to the public sewer. Upon approval of the application and plan, a permit shall be issued to have the work performed by the stated contractor. In the event the premises changes ownership before the work is completed, or if another contractor is chosen to perform or finish the work, the original permit becomes void, and a new permit must be obtained by the new parties in interest.
(2)
A connection to the public sewer will be made only after the building's
plumbing has been approved by the Town Building Official in order
to ensure that minimum standards are met for the installation. No
trench containing a building drain or connection to the sanitary sewer
shall be backfilled until the duly authorized agent or representative
of the Water Pollution Control Authority of the Town of Plainville
has completed an inspection of and approved the work. The water level
in the trench shall be maintained at a level below the sewer connection
before the cap is removed and while the connection is being made and
until such time as it has been inspected, approved and backfilled.
The contractor shall notify the duly authorized agent or representative
of the Water Pollution Control Authority of the Town of Plainville
24 hours before starting any work authorized under this permit.[1]
(3)
Permits to connect to the public sewer may be revoked and annulled
by the duly authorized agent or representative of the Water Pollution
Control Authority of the Town of Plainville for such cause and at
such time as he may deem sufficient, and the Town of Plainville shall
be held harmless as a consequence of said revocation or the cause
thereof. All other parties in interest shall be held to have waived
the right to claim damages from the Town of Plainville or its agents
on account of such revocation.[2]
D.
All costs and expenses incidental to the installation and connection
of the building sewer shall be borne by the owner(s). The owner(s)
shall indemnify the Town of Plainville from any loss or damage that
may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation of the
building sewer.
E.
A separate and independent building sewer shall be provided for every
building, except that where one building stands at the rear of another
on an interior lot and no public sewer is available or can be constructed
to the rear building through an adjoining alley, courtyard, or driveway,
the building sewer that provides service for the building which fronts
on the public sewer may be extended to the rear building and the whole
considered as one building sewer, but the Town of Plainville does
not and will not assume any obligation or responsibility for damage
caused by or resulting from any such aforementioned connection.
F.
Existing building sewers may be used in connection with new buildings
only when they are found, on examination and test by the duly authorized
agent or representative of the Water Pollution Control Authority of
the Town of Plainville, to meet all requirements of this article.
G.
The size, slope, alignment, and materials of construction of a building
sewer and the methods to be used in excavating, placing of the pipe,
jointing, testing, and backfilling the trench and connection of the
building sewer to the public sewer shall all conform to the requirements
of the building and plumbing code or other applicable rules and regulations
of the Town of Plainville. In the absence of code provisions or in
amplification thereof, the materials and procedures set forth in appropriate
specifications of the ASTM and WEF Manual of Practice No. 9 shall
apply.[3]
H.
Whenever practicable, 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.
Duplex lift systems shall be provided for commercial and industrial
buildings.
I.
No person(s) shall make connection of roof downspouts, foundation
drains, areaway drains, or other sources of surface runoff or groundwater
to a building sewer or building drain which in turn is connected directly
or indirectly to a public sewer.
J.
All excavations for building sewer installation shall be adequately
guarded with barricades and lights so as to protect the public from
hazard. Streets, sidewalks, parkways, and other public property disturbed
in the course of the work shall be restored in a manner satisfactory
to the Town of Plainville.
K.
No building sewer shall be constructed within 25 feet of a water
supply well. If a building sewer is constructed within 25 to 75 feet
of water supply well, it shall be constructed in accordance with all
applicable guidelines promulgated by the Commissioner.
L.
All building sewers shall be installed by a drain layer who posses
a valid license issued under Chapter 393 of the Connecticut General
Statutes as amended.
A.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any unpolluted
waters such as stormwater, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface drainage,
or cooling water to any sanitary sewer.
B.
Stormwater and all other unpolluted drainage shall be discharged
to such sewers as are specifically designated as combined sewers or
storm sewers and discharged to a watercourse in accordance with all
applicable state and federal laws and regulations.
C.
No user shall contribute or cause to be contributed, directly or
indirectly, any pollutant or wastewater which will interfere with
the operation or performance of the WPCF. These general prohibitions
apply to all such users of a WPCF whether or not the user is subject
to National Categorical Pretreatment Standards or any other federal
or state pretreatment standards or requirements. A user shall not
contribute the following substances to any WPCF:
(1)
Any liquids, solids or gases which by reason of their nature or quantity
are, or may be, sufficient either alone or by interaction with other
substances to cause fire or explosion or be injurious in any other
way to the WPCF or to the operation of the WPCF. At no time shall
two successive readings on an explosion hazard meter at the point
of discharge into the sewage collection system (or at any point in
the system) be more than 5% nor any single reading over 10% of the
lower explosive limit (LEL) of the meter.
(2)
Solids or viscous substances which may cause obstruction to the flow
in a sewer or other interference with the operation of the WPCF, including
substances such as, but not limited to, grease, garbage with particles
greater than 1/2 inch in any dimension, animal guts or tissues, paunch
manure, bones, hair, hides or fleshings, entrails, whole blood, feathers,
ashes, cinders, sand, spent lime, stone or marble dust, metal, glass,
straw, shavings, grass clippings, rags, spent grains, spent hops,
wastepaper, wood, plastics, gas, tar, asphalt residues, residues from
refining or processing of fuel or lubricating oil, mud or glass grinding
or polishing wastes.
(3)
Any sewage having a pH lower than 5.5 or having any other corrosive
property capable of causing damage or hazard to structures, equipment,
and personnel of the WPCF. The upper limit of pH for any industrial
wastewater discharge shall be established under the discharger's state
discharge permit.
(4)
Any sewage containing toxic pollutants in sufficient quantity, either
singly or by interaction with other pollutants, to injure or interfere
with any wastewater treatment process, constitute a hazard to humans
or animals or plant life, create a toxic effect in the receiving waters
of the WPCF, or exceed the limitations set forth in a categorical
pretreatment standard. A toxic pollutant shall include but not be
limited to any pollutant identified pursuant to Section 307(a) of
the Act.
(5)
Any noxious or malodorous sewage, gases, or solids which either singly
or by interaction with other sewage are sufficient to prevent entry
into the public sewers for their maintenance and repair.
(6)
Any sewage which, by interaction with other sewage in the public
sewer, releases obnoxious gases, forms suspended solids which interfere
with the collection system, or creates a condition which may be deleterious
to structures and treatment processes or which may cause the effluent
limitations of the WPCF's NPDES permit to be exceeded.
(7)
Any substance which may cause the WPCF's effluent or any other product
of the WPCF, such as residues, sludges, or scums, to be unsuitable
for the reclamation process where the WPCF is pursuing a reuse and
reclamation program. In no case shall a substance discharged to the
WPCF cause the facility to be in noncompliance with sludge use or
disposal criteria, guidelines, or regulations developed under Section
405 of the Act or any criteria, guidelines or regulations affecting
sludge use or disposal developed pursuant to the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act, Clean Air Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act,
or state criteria applicable to the sludge management method being
used.[1]
(8)
Any substance which will cause a WPCF to violate its NPDES permit
or the receiving water quality standards.
(9)
Sewage containing substances which are not amenable to treatment
or reduction by the wastewater treatment process employed, or are
amenable to treatment only to such degree that the water pollution
control facility effluent cannot meet the limits stipulated in the
Town of Plainville's NPDES permit.
D.
The following described substances, materials, waters, or waste shall
be limited in discharges to public sewers to concentrations or quantities
which will not harm either the sewers or water pollution control facility,
will not have an adverse effect on the receiving stream, or will not
otherwise endanger public property or constitute a nuisance. The Commissioner
may set lower limitations if more severe limitations are necessary
to meet the water quality standards of the receiving stream. The limitations
or restrictions on materials or characteristics of sewage discharged
to the public sewer are as follows:
(1)
Sewage having a temperature higher than 150° F. (65° C.).
(2)
