source of inflow shall be connected with or permitted to drain into the sanitary
sewer system of the City. After such date, whenever it becomes necessary to
rebuild, repair or replace any such drain existing prior to the enactment of this
section, the same shall be rebuilt, repaired or replaced in such a manner that it will
no longer be connected with or flow into the sanitary sewer system of the City.
(b) Whenever it is reasonably feasible to do so, all such gutters,
downspouts, roof drains, foundation drains and off-street-parking-area drains shall
be connected to or designed to flow into the storm sewer system of the City, and
within the boundary limits of the downtown urban renewal area shall be so
connected, whether newly constructed or previously existing, as soon as the storm
sewer system in the area is completed.
(c) The provisions of this section shall not apply where a different method
of disposing of rainwater is ordered by the City Engineer or the Building
Commissioner.
(d) Construction of new combined sewers outside of the existing
combined sewer area is prohibited. New construction tributary to the combined
sewer shall be designed to minimize or delay the admission of unpolluted water
into the existing combined sewer.
SECTION II. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage
by the Common Council and approval by the Mayor.
