No connections shall be made to the POTW that are intended to
discharge inflow. Such prohibited connections include, but are not
limited to, footing drains, roof leaders, roof drains, cellar drains,
sump pumps, catch basins, uncontaminated cooling water discharges,
or other sources of inflow.
For properties where separate storm sewers are available within
100 feet of the property line or where, in the judgment of the Superintendent,
sufficient natural drainage is available, connections which contribute
inflow to the sanitary sewers must be disconnected in a fashion approved
by the Superintendent, prior to the connection of the property to
the POTW.
The Superintendent shall inspect any newly sold property for
the purpose of determining if storm sewers or natural drainage is
available, and, if so, if all connections which contribute inflow
have been disconnected.
It shall be a willful violation of this chapter for any person
to reconnect any inflow source which has been disconnected pursuant
to this article.
The Superintendent is enabled to take whatever action is necessary to determine the amount of inflow, including the requirement for installation of a monitoring station. The property from which the inflow originated shall be billed for inflow according to Article
XII; however, the Village Board may cause a surcharge at a rate not to exceed five times that for normal sewage volume charge.
