Interim period. For a two-year interim period the Town shall provide a grinder pump for all new buildings not in existence or having a building permit issued after the date of issuance the "notice to proceed."

The property owner shall enter into sewer easement with the Town prior to issuance of a building permit and sewer connection permit. The Town shall own and maintain the grinder pump and pressure lateral.

A separate and independent grinder pump shall be provided for every building. The Town will consider exceptions for extenuating circumstances on a case-by-case basis, in accordance with the duly adopted connection standards.
The Town shall adopt and modify from time to time as necessary rules and regulations concerning standards for construction and connection to the sewage system in order to maintain, operate and manage the use of said system.

In all buildings in which any building drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the public sewer or where connection is to be made to a public force main, sanitary sewage carried by such building drain shall be pumped in accordance with District standards.
No person shall make connection of roof downspouts, interior or exterior foundation drains, areaway drains, catch basins, sump pumps or other sources of surface runoff, unpolluted cooling water or groundwater to a building sewer or building drain which in turn is connected directly or indirectly to a grinder pump, public sanitary sewer or force main.
The applicant shall notify the Town or its agent, in accordance with the connection permit conditions, prior to construction of the connection. The connection shall be subject to inspection by the agent of the Town (District). Approval by said agent or the Town shall in no way relieve the contractor of any responsibilities for workmanship, materials or any other liabilities.
All excavations for building sewer installation shall be adequately guarded with barricades and lights so as to protect the public from hazard. Streets, sidewalks, parkways and other public property disturbed in the course of the work shall be restored in a manner satisfactory to the Town.
