A. The construction of the public sewer, sewer taps, and connections of the lateral sewer to the sewer tap must be under the supervision of a registered civil engineer holding registration in the State, who must submit "as-built plans," bearing the registered civil engineer’s registration seal and number, to the Department.

B. It is the developer’s responsibility to require that all sewer taps serving lots in the development upon which no buildings are constructed be effectively sealed until such time as buildings will be constructed on the lots left vacant. Such sealed connections must be inspected and approved by the Planning and Development Department before being backfilled and must be designated and located on the "as-built plans." The effective seal must consist of a vitrified clay stopper inserted in the bell of the sewer extending to the property line from the public sewer; such stopper must be jointed according to City design standards. The stopper must be permanently flagged by attaching one end of a length of copper wire to the stopper and the other end to a broken piece of clay pipe, which must be placed under the solid surface directly over the end of a sewer pipe.

C. Before any building sewer construction is commenced, plumbing permits must be obtained by the developer or its agent from the Planning and Development Director.

D. When the "as-built plans" are submitted, the Department will make a record of the sewer taps.

E. The Planning and Development Director will collect a fee as set forth in the City Code. (Ord. No. G-1935, § 2; Ord. No. G-2359, § 1; Ord. No. G-2649, § 2; Ord. No. G-2788, § 2; Ord.
