§ 298-11. Building sewer permits., Article II. Use of Public Sewers, Chapter 298. Sewers, Part II. General Legislation, Code of Ordinances, Ridgefield

There shall be two classes of building sewer permits: Class A for residential and commercial service and Class B for service to industrial establishments. In either case, the owner or his agent shall make application on a special form furnished by the Sewer Authority. The permit application shall be supplemented by plans and specifications of the proposed building sewer. A permit and inspection fee, as determined by the Sewer Authority, for each Class A permit and each Class B permit shall be paid to the Sewer Authority, Town of Ridgefield, at the time the application is filed. These fees are described on the application.

All costs and expense incident to the installation and connection of the building sewer shall be borne by the owner. All building sewers shall be maintained by the owner of the property served. When a building connection lateral has been connected with a building sewer, the lateral shall become and thereafter be a part of such building connection and shall be maintained at the expense of the owner or owners of the property served.

A permit for excavating any street shall be obtained from the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Ridgefield, and in the event such street excavation is within the limits of any state highway, a permit shall be obtained from the State of Connecticut Highway Department, and said permit or permits must accompany the application for a building sewer permit.

No person, other than those working for and under the direction of the Sewer Authority, shall excavate, construct, install, lay, repair, alter, or remove any building sewer of any appurtenance thereof, if such sewer is connected or is intended at some future time to be connected, directly or indirectly, into any public sewer until said person has a permit secured by the owner or his agent of the property in question for doing such work and further provided that said person performs such work under the stipulation and requirements of § 298-12 of these regulations.

Any permit may be suspended, revoked or terminated by the Sewer Authority on written notice to the permittee for violation of the conditions thereof, or for any violation of the requirements of these regulations, or for other reasons in the public interest.
