B. 
The property owner is responsible for repair and maintenance of his own sewer at his own expense.
C. 
In the event that a property owner claims a sewer line obstruction is the fault of the Village, he may request, in writing, on a form supplied by the Village, that the Village take necessary steps to remove the blockage.
D. 
If the property owner's claim is incorrect, he shall reimburse the Village for expenses incurred by the Village. There will be no charge made if the obstruction occurs in the line under Village maintenance.
E. 
In the event that the existing building sewer does not have cleanouts installed as now required by Village ordinance, local law or regulation, the property owner will be required to have the same constructed at his expense.
F. 
Disputes under this section shall be promptly brought to the attention of the Village Board, preferably by a telephone call to the Village Trustee who is in charge of the Water/Sewer Division.
G. 
The Village Clerk shall prepare a request form to be filled out in triplicate by persons requesting assistance with blocked or obstructed sewers.
A. 
All generators of industrial waste shall be responsible for the removal of contaminants present in quantities that might create problems in the Village collection system, the Village wastewater treatment plant or the outside environment.
B. 
Notification to and compliance with all New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and Environmental Protection Agency regulations is mandatory. Failure to adhere to all federal, state and local requirements may result in termination of the industrial operation.
A. 
Service connections.
(1) 
Building service connections from individual grinder pumps to the collectors should be of one-and-one-half-inch PVC SDR 9 pipe and should include a full-ported valve (such as a corporation stop or U-valve), and a check valve specifically suited to wastewater service should be provided at or near the pump to isolate the pump from the main. These valves are in addition to the valves provided by the Village at the street right-of-way.
(2) 
The pipe should be bedded six inches below and 18 inches above the pipe with sand, gravel or stone having a diameter of no more than one inch. The pipe should have a minimum of five feet total cover to avoid freezing.
(3) 
The pipe installation shall be capable of maintaining 50 pounds per square inch of test pressure for at least one hour.
B. 
Pumping equipment.
(1) 
The pumping equipment shall be designed in a manner appropriate to wastewater service and be manufactured of corrosion-resistant materials. In addition, it shall meet all applicable safety, fire and health requirements arising from its intended use in or near residential buildings.
(2) 
Proper system design and installation shall assure that each grinder pump will be able to adequately discharge into the piping system during all normal flow situations, including peak design flow. For residences having normal water usage, a pump capable of delivering 15 gallons per minute at 85 feet total dynamic head is recommended.
(3) 
The units must be capable of operating under temporary loads above the normal recommended system design operating pressure without a serious reduction of flow or damage to the motor. The pump should be of flooded-suction design to assure that it will be positively primed. The pressure sewer system shall contain integral protection against back siphonage.
(4) 
Outside installations are preferable and should be located at least 10 feet from the building in an area readily accessible to service personnel. Outside installations shall be provided with an access from the surface which is suitably graded to prevent the entrance of surface water and equipped with a vandal-proof cover for safety. Inside installations must be examined for freedom from noise, odors and electrical hazards. Both freestanding and below-the-floor-type installations are acceptable.
(5) 
The electrical portions of nonsubmersible grinder/macerator pumps must be protected against the entrance of surface water. This may require that a motor breather be run from the interior of the motor and control compartment to a protected location higher than the maximum anticipated water or snow level. Waterproof factory-installed wiring and tamper-proof access covers on wiring compartments are required.
(6) 
The grinder pumps shall operate at a noise level sufficiently low to be acceptable for installation inside a residential building. Generally, this should be no louder than other motor-operated devices normally found in homes (furnace blowers, sump pumps, etc.).
(7) 
The grinder pump equipment shall comply with the National Electrical Code and applicable local electrical inspection bureau requirements.
C. 
Pump types.
(1) 
Both stable-curve centrifugal and progressing cavity semi-positive displacement pumps may be used in pressure sewer systems.
(2) 
The stable-curve centrifugal, a pump having maximum head at no flow, may be considered for its ability to compensate with reduced or zero delivery against excessive high pressures and the ability to deliver at a high rate during low-flow situations in the system, thus enhancing scouring during low-flow periods.
(3) 
The progressing cavity semi-positive displacement pump may be considered for its relatively constant rate of delivery. The semi-positive displacement pump has no significant increase in delivery against low-flow conditions.
D. 
Grinder.
(1) 
The grinding pumping equipment must include an integral grinder capable of handling any reasonable quantity of foreign objects which customarily find their way into building drainage systems as a result of accident or other occurrence on the part of building occupants without jamming, stalling, overloading or creating undue noise. The particle size produced by the grinder must be small enough to ensure that the processed solids will not clog the grinder, pump or any part of the discharging pipe system. The grinder shall be of a configuration to provide a positive flow of solids into the grinding zone.
(2) 
Open shafts shall not be exposed in the raw waste passageways, since this will cause cloth, string, etc., to become wrapped around the blades or shaft.
E. 
Pump tank.
(1) 
The pump tank must be made of corrosive-resistant materials which are suitable for contact with sewage and direct burial below grade without deterioration over the projected lifetime (at least 20 years).
(2) 
The pump tank shall be furnished with integral level controls which reliably turn the pump on and off at appropriate and predictable levels. The level control shall be as trouble-free as possible, with little care required for proper calibration. Mercury control, float-type, pressure-type or probe-type switches are acceptable. An alarm unit with visible and audible alarms shall be provided on a separate electrical circuit or a self-contained power supply to indicate pump failure.
(3) 
The tank shall be of a fifty-gallon minimum capacity and be able to accommodate normal peak flows without exceeding its peak-flow capacity. The volume between the on and off levels in the tank should be based on a sensible compromise between excessive unit operation and efficient removal of raw sewage into the system.
(4) 
The geometry of the tank bottom and the pump suction currents generated when the grinder pump is in operation must be adequate to scour solids from the bottom of the tank so that there is no significant long-term accumulation of settleable solids on the tank bottom.
(5) 
In the areas in which the groundwater table is high, tanks should be securely anchored to avoid floating.
(6) 
The tank shall be vented so that air space above the wastewater is always at atmospheric pressure. Separate vents may be necessary, if the fill piping connected to the building drain will not provide adequate venting.
F. 
Power outages. Provisions must be made for periods of power failure. Alternatives are:
(1) 
Dependence on built-in storage of pump tank and associated gravity piping requiring minimal water usage during a power outage;
(2) 
Provision of additional storage capacity where power outages occur frequently (twenty-four-hour storage capacity is recommended); or
(3) 
Provision of a portable generator to connect the household for a short term during an extended outage.
It shall be unlawful for any person to place, deposit or permit to be deposited in any unsanitary manner on public or private property within the Village or in any area under the jurisdiction of said Village any human or animal excrement, garbage or other objectionable waste.
It shall be unlawful to discharge to any natural outlet within the Village or in any area under the jurisdiction of said Village any sewage or other polluted waters except where suitable treatment has been provided in accordance with subsequent provisions of this article.
Except as hereinafter provided, it shall be unlawful to construct or maintain any privy, privy vault, septic tank, cesspool or other facility intended or used for the disposal of sewage.
A. 
Whenever a public sewerage system is or becomes available to any building, structure or premises, the Superintendent shall notify, in writing, such owner or occupant to connect said premises to the public sewer system and to install such facilities as may be reasonably necessary therefor. Such notice shall be served either personally or by certified mail addressed to the last known address of such owner or occupant.
B. 
A public sewer shall be considered available to any building, structure or premises for purposes of applying the provisions of this Article III when:
(1) 
The public sewer is located in or adjacent to either side of a public street upon which the lot containing the building or structure abuts, and connection of the building sewer can be made to the public sewer without extension of the public sewer;
(2) 
Such lot abuts public land or a public easement which contains the public sewer and permission to permanently connect the building sewer to the public sewer can be granted or obtained by the Village to or for the owner of the lot, and connection of the building sewer can be made to the public sewer without extension of the public sewer;
(3) 
In the case of a subdivision or other planned development where a site plan approval is required by the Planning Board or the Board of Trustees, such public sewer availability and connection has been made a condition or is an element of the approved plan; or
(4) 
The Village agrees to extend and does extend its public sewer within six months following application for a private sewage disposal system so that the public sewer will then be available for connection as defined in this section.
Where a public sanitary sewer is not available under the provisions of § 193-26, the building sewer shall be connected to a private sewage disposal system complying with the provisions of this Article III and the requirements of the Erie County Health Department.
Before commencement of construction of a private sewage disposal system, the owner shall first obtain a written permit signed by the Superintendent and Building Department. The application for such permit shall be made on a form furnished by the Village, which the applicant shall supplement by such plans, specifications and other information as are deemed necessary by the Superintendent. A permit and inspection fee as determined by the Village Board from time to time shall be paid to the Village with the application. It will be necessary for the applicant to furnish proof of approval by the Erie County Health Department to obtain the permit.
The owner shall operate and maintain the private sewage disposal facilities in a sanitary manner at all times, at no expense to the Village.
When a public sewer becomes available, the building sewer shall be connected to said sewer after notice as provided herein, and the private sewage disposal system shall be cleaned of sludge and filled with clean bank-run gravel or dirt and abandoned.
No unauthorized person shall uncover, make any connections with or opening into, use, alter or disturb any public sewer or appurtenance thereof or construct any part of a building sewer without first obtaining a written permit from the Village Clerk.
There shall be three classes of building sewer permits: for residential and commercial service; for service to establishments producing industrial wastes; and for private sewage disposal systems. In any case, the owner or his agent shall make application on a special form furnished by the Village Clerk, who shall have copies available during usual business hours. The permit application shall be supplemented by any plans, insurance, specifications or other information considered pertinent in the judgment of the Superintendent of Public Works. A permit and inspection fee in an amount determined from time to time by the Village Board shall be paid therefor.
All costs and expense incident to the installation and connection of the building sewer shall be borne by the owner.
A separate and independent building sewer shall be provided for every building.
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 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 codes or other applicable rules and regulations of the Village.
Whenever possible, the sewer shall be brought to the building at an elevation to permit gravity flow. In all buildings where elevation does not permit gravity flow to the public sewer, sanitary sewage shall be lifted by an approved means and discharged to the sewer main. Building sewers shall not be connected to footing drain systems. Footing drains must be hooked to a separate outlet or sump pump as approved by the Superintendent, in writing.
No person shall make connection of roof downspouts, sump pumps, 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 applicant for the building sewer permit shall notify the Superintendent when the building sewer is ready for inspection and connection to the public sewer. The connection shall be made under the supervision of the Superintendent or designated representative.
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 Superintendent.
A. 
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any stormwater, surface water, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, uncontaminated cooling water or unpolluted industrial process waters to any sanitary sewer.
B. 
Stormwater and all unpolluted drainage shall be discharged to such sewers as are specifically designated as combined sewers or storm sewers or to a natural outlet approved by the Superintendent. Industrial cooling water or unpolluted process waters may be discharged, on approval of the Superintendent, to a storm sewer, combined sewer or natural outlet.
A. 
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any of the following described waters or wastes to any public sewers:
(1) 
Any gasoline, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil or other flammable or explosive liquid, solid or gas.
(2) 
Any waters or wastes containing toxic or poisonous solids, liquids or gases in sufficient quantity, either singly or by interaction with other wastes, to injure or interfere with any sewage treatment process, to constitute a hazard to humans or animals, to create a public nuisance or to create any hazard in the receiving waters of the sewage treatment plant, including but not limited to cyanides in excess of two milligrams per liter as cyanide in the wastes as discharged to the public sewer.
(3) 
Any waters or wastes 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 sewage works.
(4)

(5) 
Any substance specifically prohibited now or in the future by appropriate agencies of federal, state or county governments.
B. 
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged the following described substances, materials, waters or wastes if it appears likely in the opinion of the Superintendent that such wastes can harm either the sewers, sewage treatment process or equipment, have an adverse effect on the receiving stream or can otherwise endanger life, limb, public property or constitute a nuisance. In forming his opinion as to the acceptability of these wastes, the Superintendent will give consideration to such factors as the quantities of subject wastes in relation to flows and velocities in the sewers, materials of construction of the sewers, nature of the sewage treatment process, capacity of the sewage treatment plant, degree of treatability of wastes in the sewage treatment plant and other pertinent factors. The substances prohibited are:
(1) 
Any liquid or vapor having a temperature higher than 150° F. (65° C.).
(2) 
Any water or waste containing fats, wax, grease or oils, whether emulsified or not, in excess of 100 milligrams per liter or containing substances which may solidify or become viscous at temperatures between 32° F. and 150° F. (0° C. and 65° C.).
(3) 
Any garbage that has not been properly shredded. The installation and operation of any garbage grinder equipped with a motor of 3/4 horsepower (0.76 horsepower metric) or greater shall be subject to the review and approval of the Superintendent.
(4)
