remove and dispose of such contents. No such receptacle or vehicle
containing such material shall be permitted to be stored more than
two hours in any building, barn, shed, yard or place on public or
private property within the Village, and such storing for more than

[12-7-1987, § 1]
The installation of downspouts of gutter systems on all new
residences and the replacement of downspouts of gutter systems on
all existing residences shall be made in a manner so as to provide
that such downspouts do not connect with, or directly drain into,
the sanitary sewer system. Such downspouts shall be installed or replaced
so as to drain directly into the front or rear yard of the residence,
and no such downspouts shall drain into either the side yard of such
residence, or directly onto adjoining property. The installation or
replacement of such downspouts shall further be made in a manner so
that the downspout is directed to drain generally toward the center
of either the front or rear yard into which it is draining.
[11-21-1988, § 1]
The installation of downspouts of gutter systems on all new
residences and the replacement of downspouts of gutter systems on
all existing residences shall be made in a manner so as to provide
that such downspouts do not connect with, or directly drain into,
the sanitary sewer system. Such downspouts shall be installed so as
to drain directly into the front or rear yard of the residence, and
no such downspouts shall drain into the side yard of such residence,
or directly onto adjoining property. The installation of such downspouts
shall further be made in a manner so that the downspout is directed

into which it is draining.
[11-21-1988, § 1; Ord. 90-17, 8-21-1990, 1]
Effective September 1, 1991, no buildings used for residential
purposes in any zoning district, including single-family or multi-family
residential buildings, and which are equipped with exterior downspouts
which direct water from gutters or scuppers to the sewer system, shall
be allowed to discharge storm water from such gutters directly into
the combined sewer system. Such buildings shall have all downspouts
splash with port discharge to the front or rear of the building in
a manner so that the downspout is directed to drain generally toward
the center of either the front or rear yard into which it is draining.
No such downspout shall drain into the side yard of such residence
or directly onto adjoining property. The pipe that carries roof water
into the combined sewer system shall be terminated at grade or at
the nearest hub to grade and sealed with cement to provide a positive
disconnection of the downspout from the sewer. All downspouts shall
be located in such manner that said roof water shall not damage the
same or adjoining properties or become a nuisance to occupants of
the same.
For the purposes of this Section 43-17B, the use of a building for residential purposes shall be determined consistent with the application of the zoning ordinance of the Village as amended.
[11-21-1988, § 1]
Exceptions to the requirements of Section 43-17B shall be made for those buildings that have a mixed use (residential plus another type use). Exceptions to the requirements of Section 43-17B shall also be made in those cases where, in the opinion of the plumbing inspector or his authorized agent, such disconnection will create an associated storm water hazard to the building or part thereof or to a neighboring building or the design of the gutter system makes such disconnection impracticable. The Village Manager shall have the authority to promulgate rules and regulations prescribing the procedure which is to be followed by an individual seeking such an exception.
[11-21-1988, § 1]
Any person who violates any provision of this ordinance shall be subject to a maximum penalty of $500 as provided in Section 13-3 of the Village Code.
