Sewer Service Ownership & Maintenance
Ownership - The sewer service line, including the connection to the District's main, shall be owned by and installed at the expense of the owner of the property to be served.
Inspections - No taps or connections will be allowed to the District's mains unless a District representative is present to inspect the connection. Dye tests will be required on all sewer service connections. Subject to Section 602, no inspections will be made unless a 24-hour notice during normal business hours has been received by the District. All taps must be made in accordance with District specifications.
Grease Traps - In all cases where grease traps or other filtering processes are required to be inspected, the owner and/or operator shall maintain a log, signed by the contractor, of each time the device is cleaned and/or maintained. This log shall be available for inspection by the District. All grease traps shall be cleaned with sufficient regularity to prevent grease buildup in the District's sewer system. Failure to adequately maintain a grease trap or other filtering device, which results in grease buildups in the District's sewer system, will result in the District charging the offending property owner/tenant the cost of cleaning the affected sewer mains.
Sump Pump - No sump pump shall be connected or discharged into the sanitary sewer system. The District may require inspection of all SUMP pumps to insure proper installation and daylighting.
