No person, other than those working for and under the direction of the Town, shall make any excavation for or construct, install, lay, repair, alter, or remove any sewer, building drain, building sewer, sewer connection, or appurtenance thereof or connect to such sewer within the Town, which is in any way connected to or discharges directly or indirectly to or into any public sanitary sewer of said Town, or is intended at some future time to be so connected or so discharged, until said person or party shall have applied for and secured from the WPCA or its designated representative a permit for doing such work. Such permits may be issued only to those qualified to perform such work as provided in §§ 264-44 and 264-48 of this chapter.
A person intending to connect a building drain from his property to the public sewer shall first apply for and obtain a permit from the WPCA in the manner set forth in § 264-54 hereafter. There shall be multiple classes of building sewer permits as required by the WPCA. Upon approval of the application and plan, a permit shall be issued to have the work performed by the stated drain layer. In the event the premises changes ownership before the work is completed, or if another drain layer is chosen to perform or finish the work, the original permit becomes void and a new permit must be obtained by the new parties in interest. A permit and inspection fee as determined by the WPCA shall be paid to the WPCA at the time the application is filed.
Every application for a permit shall be made in writing on forms to be provided by the WPCA for that purpose and shall be signed by the owner of the premises to be served and by the drain layer or other qualified person or party, or an authorized agent thereof. The application shall state the name and business address of the drain layer (in the case of partnerships and trade names, both the name under which the firm does business and the names of all individual members of the firm), the location and ownership of the property to be served by the building sewer in question, the post office address of said property owner, a brief description of the work to be done, and shall contain an agreement that the permittee will do the work in accordance with the requirements of Town laws, ordinances, regulations and permits as those laws, etc., may apply to the particular locations or work and will indemnify and save said Town and others harmless from damages, loss, damage claims, etc., in accordance with the terms of the drain layer's certificate of insurance provided for in § 264-59 thereof. The permit application shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications or other information considered reasonably necessary by the WPCA or its designated representative. The WPCA or its designated representative shall require as a prerequisite to the issuances of any permit that he be furnished evidence that (a) any and all necessary permits, etc., to open public streets, public or private grounds or property have been or will be issued; (b) that the agent of the applicant is properly authorized to sign the application in question; (c) that the devices used or provisions made to prevent the entry into public sanitary sewers of any substances forbidden entry by this chapter will be provided, maintained and operated as required by Article V and VI hereof; and any other information or proof pertinent to the particular job in question.
Any person who applies for a permit to connect into a public sanitary
sewer or sewer line shall pay the prescribed fee for each such permit. Permits
shall not be transferable or assignable by the permittee. Permits shall be
kept on the premises where and at all times when work is in progress and shall
be shown to any proper person asking to see the same. All persons operating
under such permits shall be held responsible for conformity to the requirements
thereof and this chapter.
Any permit, in whole or in part, may be suspended, canceled or terminated
by the WPCA or its designated representative on written notice to the permittee
for violation of the conditions thereof or for the violation of the requirements
of this chapter.

submitted to the WPCA prior to the time when the permit is needed in order
to allow the WPCA sufficient time to investigate properly the proposed design
of connection and make any recommendation that the WPCA may deem advisable.
