No person shall uncover, make any connections with or opening into, or use, alter, disturb or discharge into any public sewer or appurtenance thereof without first obtaining a written permit from the administrator or Village Board where designated.
There shall be two classes of building sewer permits: for residential and commercial service; and for service to establishments producing industrial wastes. In either case, the owner or his agent shall make application on a special form furnished by the administrator. The permit application shall be accompanied by plans, profiles, specifications or other information considered pertinent by the administrator. All permit applications for service to establishments producing industrial wastes shall be subject to Village Board approval after a public hearing. A permit and inspection fee for a residential or commercial building sewer permit or for an industrial building sewer permit, in the amount prescribed in a fee schedule adopted by the Village Board, shall be paid to the Consolidated Sewer Area at the time that the application is filed.
A. 
The owner of any public sewage system located within the Consolidated Sewer Area, other than a system owned and operated by the Consolidated Sewer Area, must receive the written approval of the administrator before a connection of all or any part of the system can be made to the Consolidated Sewer System. Where the public sewage system is operating, a condition of approval shall require the owner to provide the administrator with as-built drawings of the sewage system to be connected, as well as any additional data he may require to determine the quantity and character of sewage flow to be discharged to the Consolidated Sewer System. Where the public sewage system is not operating and initial service will be provided by the Consolidated Sewer Area, as-built drawings of the sewage system for which connection approval is requested shall be furnished to the administrator, as well as the results of infiltration and exfiltration tests made under the supervision of and certified by a professional engineer licensed in the State of New York, prior to the connection of any system thereto. Infiltration of such sewer shall not exceed 200 gallons per inch of diameter per mile of sewer per day. The owner of the public sewage system shall, before the system is accepted, make repairs as necessary when excessive infiltration is located. Such repairs shall be subject to the approval of the administrator.
B. 
The administrator reserves the right to perform such studies, measurements and tests to ensure compliance with the requirements of this article.
All costs and expenses in installing and connecting a public sewage system or building sewer to the Village sewage system shall be borne by the owner. The owner shall indemnify the Consolidated Sewer Area for any loss or damage that might be occasioned by the installation and connection of such public sewage system or 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 a separate interior lot and no 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 may be considered as one building sewer; but each shall be considered a separate unit for the purpose of sewage service charges.
Existing building sewers may be used in conjunction with new buildings only when they are found, upon inspection and testing by the administrator, to meet all requirements of this Part 2 and any other specifications adopted by the administrator.
The size, slope, alignment, materials or construction of a building sewer, appurtenances and the methods to be used in excavating, placing of the building sewer pipe, jointing, testing and backfilling the trench shall conform to the requirements of the specification for the installation of building sewers as adopted by the Village Board and all applicable provisions of any other rules and regulations of the Village of Woodbury or of the County of Orange and the State of New York, whichever requirement is more strict. In the absence of any requirements or in the amplification thereof, the materials and procedures set forth in appropriate specifications of the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) and Water Pollution Control Federation (WPCF), Manual of Practice No. 9, shall apply. All connections of building sewers to a public sewage system shall be gastight and watertight. Any deviations from the prescribed materials and construction procedures must be approved by the administrator prior to installation.
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, sewage carried by such building drain shall be lifted by a method approved by the administrator and discharged to a gravity flow building sewer.
No person shall make a 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 to a public sewer.
The applicant for the connection of any building sewer to a public sewage system owned or maintained by the Consolidated Sewer Area shall notify the administrator when the building sewer is ready for inspection and connection to the public sewer. In no case shall any underground portions of the building sewer be covered or connection to the public sewer made without the approval and/or supervision of the administrator or his representative. Permission to activate the building sewer will be given only after satisfactory final inspection has been made and approval given by the administrator.
All excavations for building sewer excavations shall comply with all federal, state and local safety regulations and 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 work shall be restored in a manner satisfactory to the administrator and appropriate municipal authorities.
Building sewers shall be maintained, serviced and repaired by the owner of the property served from the building drain to a point within one foot of the Y in the street, if connected to a public sewer in a public right-of-way, and to within two feet of the public sewer located in an easement across private property. In the event that a property is unable to discharge sewage into the public sewer, it will be presumed that the fault is in the private building sewer unless contrary facts are in evidence. Evidence of willful damage to a building sewer being served by a public sewer shall be considered a violation of this Part 2.
Before any building whose building sewer is connected to a public sewer is demolished, the owner thereof shall conform to the requirements established by the administrator. The cutoff or plugging of the building sewer shall be done with the permission and under the supervision of the administrator.
