§ 33-143. Special provisions for sewer taps and extension.

All public sewer extensions for residential, commercial and industrial parcels, lots or subdivisions must be authorized by the City and constructed at the property owner or developer's expense. The City may authorize the owner or his authorized agent, to install building connections with "wyes" and connect the building sewers to the building connection under the following provisions:

(1)

That the construction of public sewer, building connections and connections of building sewers to the building connections, shall be made under the supervision of a registered civil engineer, holding registration in this state, who shall submit three (3) copies of the "as built plans," bearing the registered civil engineer's seal and number, to the City. It shall be the duty of the registered civil engineer to require that all building connections serving lots, parcels or subdivisions upon which no buildings are connected be effectively sealed until such time as the building will be constructed on the lots left vacant. Such sealed connections shall be inspected and approved by the City before being backfilled and shall be identified on the "as built plans." Effective seal shall consist of vitrified clay stoppers inserted in the bell of the sewer, extending to the property line in the alley, or to the curve line in the street from the public sewer, which stopper shall be jointed according to the City's specifications. Stoppers shall be permanently flagged by attaching one (1) piece of a length of copper wire to the stopper and the other end to a broken piece of clay pipe which shall be placed under the soil's surface directly over the end of the sewer pipe.

(2)

Before any sewer connection is commenced, plumbing permits shall be obtained by the owner or his/her authorized agent from the City.

(3)

When the "as built plans" are submitted to the City, a record will be made of all building connections. The City shall inspect the connections to ascertain that all requirements of the City plumbing code have been fulfilled.
