§ 76.10. Connection regulations.  


Latest version.
  • The connections with all sewers must be made even with the inside surface in a workmanlike manner, where a length of pipe or drain has not been left in the sewer, and made perfectly tight with good cement, and, where a pipe has been left in, the connection shall be made with such pipe without injuring the same. The street must be opened and the paving and earth deposited in a manner that will occasion the least inconvenience to the public, and provide for the passage of water along the gutters; one-half the street must be left clear for the passage of vehicles, and bridgeways provided on sidewalks for pedestrians. In refilling the trench, the earth must be laid in layers not more than six (6) inches in depth, and each layer wetted and rammed to prevent settlement. The paving, flagging and sidewalks are to be restored to at least as good condition as previous to the excavation, and all rubbish and surplus earth to be immediately removed.
