§ 9-174. Mandatory inspection  


Latest version.
  • (a) Notification. It shall be the duty of the holder of a connection permit to notify LSSD in the manner described on the sanitary sewer connection permit that the sewer work is available for inspection. LSSD will conduct inspections on building sewer connections by appointment from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time, Monday through Friday, except for observed LSSD holidays. The building sewer, in its entirety from the foundation to the connection with the public sewer or existing lateral, must be exposed for inspection and be properly bedded in accordance with LSSD's standard specifications to one-half (½) the diameter of the building sewer. It is further the duty of the permit holder to install safety barricades, fences, or other safety measures while waiting for an inspection. The permit holder may backfill the building sewer trench if LSSD has not made an inspection within a four-hour period after notice has been given to LSSD. In the event the building sewer is not completed and ready inspection upon the inspector's arrival or if the notification is made after 1:00 p.m. local time, Monday through Friday, the permit holder shall make the building sewer and connection available for a four-hour period on the following LSSD work day. An inspection may be waived with or without conditions with the approval of the pretreatment manager.

    (b) Right of entry. LSSD shall have the right of entry to, upon or through any premises, for purposes of inspection of sewer work and any other construction activity performed on or associated with the connection of the building sewer to the LSSD sewer including inspection for clear water discharges into the sewer.
