Separate building wastewater system

A separate and independent building wastewater system shall be provided for every building; except where one building stands behind another on an interior lot, and where no private wastewater system is available or can be constructed to the rear building through an adjoining alley, court, yard or driveway, the building wastewater system from the front building may be extended to the rear building, in which event both are considered as one building wastewater system. Apartment or condominium courts, motels or hotels and similar structures held under a single ownership shall be permitted to use a single wastewater collection system connection while the single ownership continues. Such single connection shall be of a size and type approved by the director as adequate. In all buildings in which any building drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the public wastewater system, wastewater carried by the drain shall be lifted by approved means and discharged to the public wastewater system. (Ord. 2760 § 8 (part), 1999)
