§ 13.16.450. Connection of building sewer to public sewer.
Latest version.
The connection of the building sewer into the public sewer shall be made at the "Y"
branch, if such branch is available at a suitable location. If the public sewer is
twelve inches in diameter or less, and no properly located "Y" branch is available,
the owner shall, at his expense, install a "Y" branch in the public sewer at the location
specified by the superintendent. Where the public sewer is greater than twelve inches
in diameter, and no properly located "Y" branch is available, a neat hole may be cut
into the public sewer to receive the building sewer, with entry in the downstream
direction at an angle of about forty-five degrees. A forty-five-degree ell may be
used to make such connection with the spigot end cut so as not to extend past the
inner surface of the public sewer. The invert of the building sewer at the point of
connection shall be at the same or at a higher elevation than the invert of the public
sewer, but no higher than a point one-half the vertical distance between the invert
and the crown of the sewer. A smooth, neat joint shall be made, and the connection
made secure and watertight by encasement in concrete. Special fittings may be used
for the connection only when approved by the superintendent. Manholes shall be constructed
at any junction of a ten-inch diameter line or larger into a public sewer.
