Disconnection of an existing sanitary sewer lateral from the
main sanitary sewer line shall be completed prior to the beginning
of demolition activities. The owner/occupant or registered plumbers
are permitted to perform and certify the sewer disconnection of the
service lateral. The disconnection shall be made generally at the
point of the original connection (at joint) or as near as possible
to the property line or easement right-of-way line, as applicable.
The line should be capped/sealed, allowing no infiltration into the
system.
The owner/agent shall notify the Authority 24 hours in advance
of the scheduled disconnection. When the demolition of a structure
is performed for the purposes of constructing a new structure on the
property, a building permit is required, then the owner/agent shall
file an application for sanitary sewer connection with the Authority
identifying the use of the structure and arranging to pay all fees
for increased usage into the sanitary sewer system based on any change
in sewage discharge demands created by the new structure.
