Instructions for Disconnecting Illegal Sewer Connections Page 2 If it is necessary to discontinue water and/or sewer service, Village codes require that the resident must pay the charges normally imposed for disconnection and restoration of service before service is restored. 0 Residents should also be aware Lhat periodic re-inspecLions will be performed. Persons re-establishing illegal connections after inspection of corrected plumbing will be subject to service interruption and expensive consequences* a The Village sincerely hopes that 'it will not be necessary in any case to disconLinue water and/or sewer service to any resident in order to enforce attention to corrective work* TYPES OF ILLEGAL CONNECTIONS ................... Water from any of the following sources which discharges directly to the sanitary sewer constitutes an illegal connection: it From the the around the foundation or footer of the building. This the is designed to prevent seepage of ground water through the basement walls by draining water away from the walls. This is commonly referred to as a "footer the". 2 From an areaway drain such as a depressed driveway or from an outside stairway that is below the grade of the surrounding ground* 3 From drains from window wells, designed to keep rainwater from pouring in through windows which are below the grade of the surrounding gr.ound* 4* From downspoutsl The attached is an explanation and alternative solutions to the illegal connections on your property* Instructions for Disconnecting illegal Sewer Connections Page 3 SUtjP PUMP FOR FOOTER TILE, AREAWAY DRAIN, OR WINDOW WELL DRAINS Situation 1 Storm Sum - — ------ - - 1. water from one or more A storm, sut'iip is, a sump pum,p whIch collects deser"I"bed sources, does not receive sanitary of the rev our to the sanitary sewer . This w a s t es, and d,ischarges dJ'rectly problem can bes111ply correcll-.,ed as follows: Disconnect the sump pump discharge pipe from the sanitary sewer and pump it to the outside. This discharge may also be connected to a storm sewer if available. Situation 2 -- Diverter Valve ..........

T h e would discharge d discharge from this new pump wot.j,ld be plumbled to discharge to t h e sanitary sewer, while the discharge from the sump pump would be re-routed to discharge into the yard or nearby storm sewer. This option might the least expensive, but the customer should be cautioned that their basement floor drain will now be dis- charging to the outside of the house and there should be no sanitary use through this drain. Another option which will cull use of the floor drain wot j1d be to install a permit the , and pit for the laundry tub and floor drain separate sump pump and would be hooked up to discharge directly into the sanitary sewer.

These pUMPS Currently retail for approximately $250.00:I with a cast iron h o u si, n Other less expensive pumfps with plastic pump housings are aval 1 able from other manufacturers. You should be able to obtain a pump from stores that sell home remodeling supplies or through a plumber. Only a pump with automatic controls is recommended* For installation of a separate sump pumps it is recommended that a licensed plumber be consulted. Included in these instructions is a list of approved plumbers in the Mount Prospect area, but Y ou can estimate a cost between $800 and $1,300. We would further recommend you obtain more than one bid* Situation 4 -- Combination Sumo Pump with Diverter Valve A combination sump pump (described in Situation 3) may also be equipped with d'iverter valves which allow the sump pump to alternately discharge to the sanitary sewer or to the yard. This problem may be solved by disconnecting the sump pump from the sanitary sewer and discharging to the yard. . A pump would be installed under he' laundry tub to pump laundry wastewater to the sanitary sewer. All piping for the flow diversion must be removed. The tees in the sump pump discharge pipe must be removed and permanently replaced with rigid pipe and the connec- tion on the sanitary sewer piping must be permanently capped. Situation 5 -- Overflow Line An overflow line is a drain line built between a sanitary sump and a storm sump. In the past, this type of system was installed top rovide continued pumpage in case of failure of either ptimp. ThisprobIlem may be solved by very carefully, fi'lling one end of the overflow pipe with at least six inches of concrete. At, the time of re -inspection, the adequacy of the cementing wor,k ill be tested with a hammer to ensure that it cannot be removed la,ter. If the customer has a special concern for pump failure, he may wish to consider installing a backup pump in the sump he is concerned about. failing. Battery operated pumps are also available for this purpose as well as small generators. Situation 6 -- Direct Footer Tile Connection On some gravity type hiouse, siewers, t-A"ie footer tiles are connected d"irectly to the sanitary sewer* These tiles would have to be dug up and ex, (,)c --ed either on the inside, or outside of the foundation, iscon The footer and permanently dA I nected, from, the sanitary sewer. Instructions for Disconnecting Illegal Sewer Connections Page 5 would then be diverted to either the newly Installed separate storm water sump pump or to an existing one. This sump would then discharge into the yard or to a nearby storm sewer* This type of corrective repair could cost between $1,500 and $3,000. Included in these instructions is a list of approved plumbers in the Mount Prospect area. We would further recommend you obtain more than one bid. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS 1* Some customers have indicated that they have made illegal connections to the sanitary sewer because the water which is discharged into the yard freezes causing the pump to burn out. In this case: a The discharge line may be graded to drain itself; b The check valve may be modi fieri ; C, The outside line may be wrapped with electric heating tape which is designed for outside use 2. Homeowners are advised that all piping between the sanitary sewer and the sump pump must be removed; all valves on the sump pump discharge and sanitary sewer must be removed; and the connection at the sanitary sewer must be permanently and securely capped* 3. In all cases, it is important that any opening to the sanitary sewer pipe be carefully capped so as not to allow noxious gasses From the sewer back into the house. CAUTIONS Modifications to plumbing or electrical systems should be done only by an owner skilled in remodeling, Work should be done in accordance with Village plumbing and electrical codes, and only after proper permits are obtained. The homeowner should con- sult the Village Code Enforcement Department to receive proper information and guidance. The Village has waived the fee for any associated permit; however a permit must be obtained* While there is a temptation for the homeowner to proceed with modifications without benefit of permits, application for permits offers the opportunity for valuable consultation to ensure that code requirements a r e being followed.
