PART 4 - BUILDING SEWERS AND CONNECTIONS 1. a) No person, firm or corporation shall make any opening or openings to uncover any public sewer or individual on-site sewage disposal system or connect a building sewer, private drain or sewer within the Wastewater Management District Area, without first obtaining a permit therefore from the Municipality, which permit shall be in the form of Schedule "B" and "C" to this By-law. Provided however, that notwithstanding the issuance of any such permit, the person to whom any such permit is issued shall be liable for any damage or injury to the public sewer, or individual on-site sewage disposal system caused by him, his servants, agents or workmen in making any such connection. b) It shall be the duty of any person, firm or corporation who connects any on-site sewage disposal system, or drain while excavating, to securely protect the excavation in such manner as may be directed by the Inspector, and to use a licensed installer for the purpose of such work. c) There shall be two classes of building sewer permits: i) for residential and commercial service; and ii) for service to establishments producing industrial wastes. In either case, the owner or his agent shall make application on a form furnished by the Inspector, which form shall have the context given in Schedule "B" and "C" of this By-law, as is applicable. The permit application shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications, and other information as is deemed necessary by the Municipality, to determine whether the application meets the requirements of this By-law. 2. All costs and expenses incidental to the installation and connection of the building sewer shall be borne by the Owner. The Owner shall indemnify the Municipality from any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation of the building sewer. 3. A separate and independent building sewer shall be provided for every building; except where one building stands at the rear of another on an internal lot and no private sewer is available or can be constructed to the rear building through an adjoining alley, courtyard or driveway. The building sewer from the front building may be extended to the rear building and the whole considered as one building sewer. Any building sewer serving two buildings must be installed with protection from any backflow from one building to the other building. 4. Old building sewers may be used in connection with new buildings only when they are found, on examination and testing by the Inspector, to meet all the requirements of this By-law. 5. Size, slope, alignment, materials of construction of the building sewer, and the methods to be used in excavating, placing of the pipe, jointing, testing, backfilling the trench, and connection to the public sewer system, or individual on-site sewage disposal system shall all conform to the requirements of the Municipality as set out in Part 5 of this By-law. 6. Whenever feasible, the building sewer shall be brought to the building at an elevation below the basement floor. In all buildings in which the sewer drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the public sewer system, or individual on-site sewage disposal system, sanitary sewage carried by such sewer drain shall be lifted by an approved means and discharged to the public sewer system, or individual on-site sewage disposal system at the expense of the owner. 7. The person who originally made application for the building sewer permit shall notify the Inspector when the building sewer is ready for inspection and connection to the public sewer. The entire works shall be performed under the supervision of an Inspector. Backfilling of the building sewer shall not be undertaken until the inspections are completed and certificates of approval received by the owner. PART 5 - APPLICATION TO CONNECT 1. Before any person constructs a building sewer, they shall apply to the Municipality for directions as to the proper lines and grades applicable to his building sewer and the Inspector shall assign suitable lines and grades for any building sewer. 2. The construction and installation of any building sewer shall be under the direct supervision of the Inspector and the specification for labour and materials under which the public sewer was constructed are to be considered as part of the specification for any such building sewer modified, however, so as to be applicable to the building or buildings situated on the property to be served by such building sewer. 3. The installation requirements necessary before connections of the public sewer system or individual on-site sewage disposal system is permitted are as follows: a) i) Any building sewer shall, from a point three feet (3') outside of the foundation of the house or building to the street line or individual on- site sewage disposal system shall be of first quality materials, the pipe having a diameter of four to six inches (4" to 6"); or as identified by engineering design; ii) Sewer laterals must not be less than four inches (4") in diameter and must be constructed of PVC DR28 or SDR 35 with right tight joints or approved equivalent; iii) The building sewer may be laid in a common ditch with the water line but it must be buried at a lower elevation and at a minimum distance of twelve inches (12") away from the water line; iv) The building sewer must be laid on a bed of tamped sand or approved fine gravel of not less than six inches (6") in depth and must not be backfilled until inspected and approved by the Inspector; v) When backfilling is permitted a topping of not less than six inches (6") of sand or approved fine gravel must be laid over the sewer line before previously excavated backfill material is replaced into the ditch to bring it up to grade. b) i) An application for a permit to make connection to sewer main trunk lines or individual on-site sewage disposal systems must be made by the property owner to the Municipality or its appointed agents; ii) When a permit is issued, a property owner can proceed with installation of laterals under conditions of the above noted specifications and regulations; iii) Backfilling of ditches must not be undertaken until the installations are inspected and the approval certificate from the municipality is received by the owner. 4. All sewers shall be constructed in accordance with the provisions of the Public Highways Act, R.S.N.S. 1989, Chapter 371, and amendments and regulations thereto and shall cause as little obstruction as possible for pedestrians and vehicular traffic during installations. 5. Whenever any building sewer is abandoned, the owner shall effectively block up the connection at the property line so as to prevent sewage from backing up into the soil, or dirt being washed into the sewer. 6. Where the owner does not effectively block up the building sewer as required under the provisions of sub-section (1) within seven (7) days from receipt of notice from the Inspector, requiring that it be done or, the Inspector may cause the same to be done at the cost of such work caused to be done may be recovered as a debt by the Municipality from the owner in accordance with this By-Law. 7. Where under any provision of this By-law approval or permission of the Inspector appointed by the Municipality is required before any work or thing may be done, an appeal may be submitted to Council regarding the decision of the Inspector, refusing to grant approval or permission, and Council shall either authorize the Inspector to grant the approval or permission or uphold the decision of the Inspector. 8. The right of appeal provided in sub-section (1) shall expire thirty (30) days after the Inspector gives his decision in writing to the owner with respect to the approval or permission.

Every owner of land within the Wastewater Management District Area which is serviced by a public sewer or is fronting on any street or highway within the Municipality, which street or highway has a public sewer installed (as determined by Council pursuant to this By-law), or which is serviced by an individual on-site sewage disposal system, shall pay to the Municipality a capital charge per equivalent unit. The capital charge per equivalent unit shall be in accordance with Schedule D of this By-Law. Council shall review the equivalent unit charge from time to time and amend by motion of Council when warranted; 2. In the event of development of a lot not previously serviced by a public sewer, clustered sewer system or individual on-site sewage disposal system, the cost of connection shall be a capital charge determined and reviewed by Council from time to time, and may be reflective of the actual costs for the Municipality to provide sewer service to that lot/area; 3. Capital charges, including interest, are first lien on the real property and may be collected in the same manner as other taxes; 4. Annual Installments: For owners connecting two or more equivalent units to a public sewer, individual on-site sewage disposal system after October 1, 2001 annual installments for payment of Sewer Capital Charges may be made over a period not exceeding ten (10) years. The annual installment shall be determined by dividing the total capital charge of the serviced property by ten. Annual bills shall be mailed out yearly following the beginning date. Interest is payable annually on the entire amount outstanding and unpaid, whether or not the owner has elected to pay by installments, as follows. Interest will be calculated monthly on the entire amount outstanding and unpaid at a rate of 7.5%. The monthly interest rate shall be one twelfth of 7.5%. 5. The owner of any property which is served by a public sewer system, or individual on- site sewage disposal system within the Wastewater Management District Area shall pay an annual maintenance charge. The basic annual maintenance charge shall be calculated based on an amount budgeted by Council to be the amount required to maintain and operate the system for the year plus an amount to be set aside as a reserve for future capital expenditures and/or major repairs to the system. Once the budget has been determined, the charge per equivalent unit shall be determined by dividing the estimated budget amount for maintenance and operation by the total number of equivalent units in the Area within the Wastewater Management District Area served by the systems. The annual maintenance charge for each property shall then be determined by multiplying the basic annual charge by the number of units for the property determined in accordance with Section 3. 6. Every owner of land which is serviced by the system shall be assigned cost based on equivalent units as determined by the Inspector. The equivalent unit shall be based on the following: Type of Use Imperial Gallons Units 1. Single Family Residence 200 1 2A. Apartment (self-contained) 200 1 2B. Apartment 500 sq. ft and under 100 See Note 1 below 3. Office Building 10 (per employee) See Note 1 below 4. Church or Hall 200 1 5. Senior Citizen's Complex 100 (per apartment) See Note 1 below 6.

The number of equivalent units is calculated by dividing the total flow by 200 or in regard to restaurants, as set out in the table above. When the number of units is calculated is less than one (1) at any single location, the number of equivalent units assigned to that location shall be one (1). 7. Every charge or tax imposed under the provisions of this By-law shall constitute a first lien upon the real property, and may be collected in the same manner as other taxes and, at the option of the Treasurer, be collectable at the same time, and by the same proceedings, as taxes, pursuant to Section 81 of the Municipal Government Act. 8. Each property or owner thereof is liable for the entire cost of the building sewer from his property to the street line or individual on-site sewage disposal system. 9.
