All costs and expenses incident to the installation and connection of
the building sewer shall be borne by the owner. The owner shall indemnify
the Town from any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be occasioned
by the installation of the building sewer.
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 private sewer is available or can be constructed to
the rear building through an adjoining alley, court, yard, or driveway, the
building sewer from the front building may be extended to the rear building
and the whole considered as one building sewer.
Old building sewers may be used in connection with new buildings only
when they are found, on examination and test by the Superintendent, to meet
all requirements of this article.
Whenever possible, 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.
No person shall make connection of roof downspouts, exterior 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 sanitary sewer.
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.
