It is one explicit purpose of these rules and regulations to
deter, prevent and eliminate, as far as possible, the introduction
of inflow into the district sewerage system and all sewers tributary
thereto. However, it is recognized that in certain areas the immediate
enforcement of these rules and regulations against existing connections
would not be feasible and would be unreasonable. This statement shall
not be construed to mitigate in any way the enforcement of these rules
and regulations against the construction of any new combined sewers
or against any new connections discharging stormwaters to the district
sewerage system or sewers tributary thereto or to the alleviation
of excessive infiltration/inflow; nor shall this statement of policy
be used as a reason for not making any changes, which may be ordered
by governmental regulatory agencies.
A.
No downspout, leader, gutter or pipe, drain or channel which may
at any time carry stormwater, surface water or groundwater of any
kind, nor any drain from any catch basin, lake, swamp, pond or swimming
pool, nor any inlet for surface water, stormwater or groundwater of
any kind shall be connected to the district sewerage system or any
sewers tributary thereto. However, existing facilities mentioned previously
which are presently connected directly or indirectly to combined sewers
may remain unless they contribute excessive infiltration/inflow.
B.
Where excessive infiltration/inflow has been determined to exist
in sewers tributary to the district sewerage system, the local municipality,
Town district or transportation corporation which owns tributary sewers,
shall undertake a suitable rehabilitation program to eliminate excessive
infiltration/inflow as directed by the Kingsbury Sewer District No.
1, but in no event shall the local municipality be required to undertake
any such rehabilitation program where, in the opinion of any such
municipality, such rehabilitation program shall place an undue financial
burden upon the municipality.
