b. where a storm sewer has been constructed
at such an elevation
that, mthe opinion of the Manager ofPublic Works, the connection
from
a roof
drain
or
from
the weeping
drain
cannot
be
connected with adequate gradient for proper drainage; and / or
c.
where
a building
or
structure
is constructed
adjacent to
a

c.
An owner
may request that the Townshipconduct an inspection
as provided in subsection 59 of this By-law to determine the
source of in?ow
or infiltration into the sanitary sewer system.
If, as
a result
of the
inspection,
it is determined
that
the
infiltration
of storm water into the sanitary sewer occurs solely as
a result of a structural problem in the Townshipportion
of the
connection, the provisions
of subsection 61 (a) of this By-law will
not apply to the owner
and the deposit, as stipulated in the
Township's Building By-law which may be amended from time
