Sec. 118-187. Work subject to inspection.

(a) Building sewer installations. All building sewer installations shall be inspected and approved by an authorized inspector. Backfill may be placed on the completed portions of a building sewer following inspection, but no approval certificate shall be issued until all portions of a building sewer from the main connection to the building foundation have been inspected and approved by an authorized inspector. At the time of inspection, the pipe should be in place in the trench and safed-up, but the top half of the pipe barrel exposed. No approval will be given for building sewers all or a portion of which are covered at the time of inspection.

(b) Repairs, replacement of building sewers. All repairs or replacements of building sewers, regardless of length, shall be subject to the same inspection and material requirements as new installations. Where the repair or replacement of a building sewer requires a new point of connection to the city sewer, the abandoned building sewer should be sealed to prevent entrance of rainwater or debris into the city sewer and the seal inspected by an inspector.

(c) Building sewer site plans required. Building sewer site plans shall be required for all commercial, industrial, institutional and multifamily connections. The site plan shall include, as a minimum, the following information:

(1) Size and location of the building sewer.

(2) Size and location of the city main.

(3) Location of building to be connected.

(4) Location of cleanouts, grease trap or sand traps as they may be required.

(5) A north arrow.

(6) Streets adjacent to the facility being connected.

The plans must be approved before a permit can be issued and construction can start.

(d) Conformance with building, plumbing codes, other regulations. The size, slope, alignment, materials or construction of a building sewer, and the methods to be used in excavating, placing of the pipe jointing, testing and backfilling the trench, shall all conform to the requirements of this division, or the building and plumbing code, or other applicable rules and regulations of the city. In the absence of code provisions or in amplification thereof, the materials and procedures set forth in appropriate specifications of the state plumbing code shall apply.

(Code 1973, § 33-96)
