[Amended 6-21-2006 by L.L. No. 3-2006]
The owner or his agent shall make application on a special form
furnished by the Village. The permit application shall be supplemented

[Amended 6-12-1996 by L.L. No. 6-1996; 6-21-2006 by L.L. No. 3-2006]
No connection shall be made until a permit therefor has been
issued and until the holder of such permit shall have paid a fee for
such connection in an amount fixed from time to time by resolution
of the Village Board.
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 Part 1 of this chapter.
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 shall all
conform to the requirements of the Building and Plumbing Code or other
applicable rules and regulations of the Village of Corinth in the
State of New York.[1] In the absence of code provisions or in amplification
thereof, the materials and procedures set forth in appropriate specifications
of the American Society for Testing and Materials and the Water Pollution
Control Federation Manual of Practice, Volume 9, shall apply.
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.
The connection of the building sewer into the public sewer shall
conform to the requirements of the Building and Plumbing Code or other
applicable rules and regulations of the Village[1] or the procedures set forth in appropriate specifications
of the American Society for Testing and Materials and the Water Pollution
Control Federation Manual of Practice, Volume 9. All such connections
shall be made gastight and watertight. Any deviation from the prescribed
procedures and materials must be approved by the Superintendent before
installation.[2]
All excavations for building sewer installations 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 Village.
