3.05.350 Events requiring a lateral sewer inspection – All properties.

A property owner shall have the lateral sewer of his property inspected and provide the District with a report and video as described in SD5MCC 3.05.340, and have any necessary repairs to the sewer lateral made, upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(1) Additions or Improvements. Prior to the issuance of a County, City, or Town building permit for an addition or new improvement on the real property where said addition or improvements (or cumulative additions or improvements through multiple projects over three years) have a value of $50,000 or greater, the District shall notify the City, Town, and County of this requirement so that issuance of a building permit is conditioned upon the requirement of a lateral sewer inspection and any necessary repairs.

(2) Transfer of Property Title. Where the sale of any real property with sewer improvements is proposed, the seller shall have the lateral sewer inspected prior to transfer of property title. The responsibility for any repair of a lateral sewer is an issue between the buyer and the seller. Should the seller fail to have the inspection conducted and any necessary repairs made prior to the sale of the property, the District shall require the new owner to conduct an inspection and/or make any necessary repairs to the lateral sewer.

(3) Repair of Main Sewer or Road Resurfacing On or Near Road Where Lateral Sewer Connects to Main Sewer. Whenever the District is replacing or conducting a repair of a main sewer, or whenever the City, Town, or County is carrying out road resurfacing, on or near the road where the lateral sewer connects to the main sewer. When the work is being carried out by the District, the District will notify owners of the work and the need for an inspection and any necessary repair so that any remedial work on the lateral sewer can be completed prior to the construction. Where an owner refuses to have the inspection conducted, the District may conduct an inspection and the owner shall be responsible for the costs of such inspection. The District shall require the owner to carry out any necessary repairs.

(4) Exceptions. The following are exceptions to the requirement for inspection described above:

(a) An owner otherwise required to perform an inspection under this section shall not be required to perform such inspection if the owner (or the owner’s predecessor-in-interest) has originally installed or has replaced his property’s lateral sewer within the 20 years prior to the date of application for a building permit, listing the property for sale, or the road work or sewer repair.

(b) An owner otherwise required to perform an inspection under this section shall not be required to perform such inspection if the owner has conducted such inspection and completed any necessary repairs within three years prior to the date the inspection would otherwise be required.

(c) The owner shall provide proof of any prior lateral sewer replacement, inspection, and repair in the form of a certificate, paid bill, or other sufficient documentation that ensures such prior replacement, repair, or inspection. The form and content of the document or proof must be deemed sufficient by the District or its authorized representative. [Ord. 2014-2A § 611.]

Property owners shall own the backflow device and its maintenance and replacement shall be the sole obligation of the property owner and any successor in interest. Owners who choose not to install the device for any reason, including the owner’s belief that the device is unnecessary or too difficult to install, must submit a letter to the District Manager for consideration. The letter will state the owner will hold the District harmless for any and all damages arising from the owner’s sanitary sewer overflows/backflows. [Ord. 2014-2A § 612.]

3.05.370 Sanitary sewer lateral overflows and stoppages.

The District has the authority and responsibility to mitigate all private lateral sanitary sewer overflows. Therefore, if a sanitary sewer overflow occurs, the District will first attempt to contact the owner(s) of the private lateral sewer, residential or commercial, before the District or its contractor clears or repairs the stoppage. If the District cannot contact the owner(s), the District or its contractor will attempt to clear or repair the overflow and will invoice the owner(s) for the work performed by the District or its contractor. When the lateral sewer is used by multiple residents, the owners of the lateral sewer will negotiate among themselves with respect to apportioning the cost of the clearing or repair.

In the event that no special manhole has been required, the control manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public sewer to the point at which the lateral sewer is connected. [Ord. 2014-2A § 809.]

3.05.570 Special agreements – Private facilities.

No statement contained in this article shall be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the District and any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be accepted by the District for treatment, subject to payment therefor by the industrial concern and subject to such terms and conditions as might be required by the District. [Ord. 2014-2A § 810.]

3.05.580 Special agreements – Public facilities.

[Ord. 2014-2A § 812.]

Article IX. Permits and Fees

3.05.600 Permit required.

No unauthorized person shall uncover, make any connections with or opening into, use, alter, or disturb any public sewer or appurtenance or perform any work on any plumbing or drainage system under the jurisdiction of the District, including additions to or modifications of plumbing facilities within a building, without first obtaining a written permit from the District. [Ord. 2014-2A § 901.]

3.05.610 Application for permit.

Any person, legally entitled to apply for and receive a permit, shall make such application on forms provided by the District for that purpose. He shall give a description of the character of the work proposed to be done and the location, ownership, occupancy and use of the premises in connection therewith. The District Engineer may require plans, specifications or drawings and such other information as he may deem necessary. If the District Engineer determines that the plans, specifications, drawings, descriptions or information furnished by the applicant is in compliance with the ordinances, rules and regulations of the District, the Secretary shall issue the permit applied for upon payment of the required fees as hereinafter fixed. [Ord. 2014-2A § 902.]

3.05.620 Compliance with permit.

After approval of the application, evidenced by the issuance of a permit, no change shall be made in the location of the sewer, the grade, materials or other details from those described in the permit or as shown on the plans and specifications for which the permit was issued, except with written permission from the District, the District Engineer, or other authorized representatives. [Ord. 2014-2A § 903.]

3.05.630 Agreement.

The applicant’s signature on an application for any permit as set forth in SD5MCC 3.05.640 shall constitute an agreement to comply with all of the provisions, terms and requirements of this chapter and other ordinances, rules and regulations of the District, and with the plans and specifications he has filed with his application, if any, together with such corrections or modifications as may be made or permitted by the District, if any. Such agreement shall be binding upon the applicant and may be altered only by the District upon the written request for the alteration from the applicant. [Ord. 2014-2A § 904.]

3.05.640 Classes of permits.

There shall be six classes of permits, as follows:

(1) Single-family residential sewer permit;

(2) Trailer court and multiple dwelling sewer permit;

(3) Commercial, industrial, church, school, public and other user sewer permit;

(4) Public sewer construction permit;

(5) Private sewage disposal permit; and

(6) Force main connection permit. [Ord. 2014-2A § 905.]

3.05.650 Fees – Annexation charges.

The owner or owners of lands within areas proposed to be annexed to the District shall deposit with the District Secretary a sum to be fixed by the District Secretary, prior to commencement of proceedings by the Board on the proposed annexation. The amount to be fixed by the District Secretary shall be in a sum estimated to equal the engineering, legal and publication costs and all other charges which may be incurred by the District in preparing and examining maps, legal descriptions, and other documents in relation thereto, and other expenses regularly incurred in connection therewith. Should the amount of the deposit exceed the costs incurred by the District the excess shall be refunded to the owner or owners following the conclusion of the final hearing on the proposed annexation. Should the amount of the deposit be insufficient to pay such costs incurred by the District the owner or owners shall advance such additional sums as shall be necessary to pay said costs prior to the final hearing on the proposed annexation. [Ord. 2014-2A § 906.]

3.05.660 Basic connection charge.

A basic connection charge is hereby established for the privileges of connecting to the sanitary sewer system of the District. Except as hereinafter provided, a separate basic charge shall be made for each building. In the event of dispute as to whether a structure constitutes a new building or an addition to an existing building, the determination of the Sanitary Board shall be final.

Before any addition to or modification of plumbing facilities is undertaken which will result in a change in the number of plumbing fixtures by which the amount of the basic connection charge is calculated, as hereinafter set forth, a permit for such addition or modification shall first be obtained from the District upon payment to the District of an amount equal to the difference between the charge based upon the original number of units and that based upon the total number of original plus proposed units.

A building which is accessory to a single-family dwelling, such as a guest house or servants’ quarters, is to be considered as a part of the single-family dwelling rather than as a separate building if such accessory buildings are served by the same lateral as the single-family dwelling.

The amount of charge shall be computed on the basis of the number of plumbing fixtures within or about each building as said fixtures comprise fixture units. The number of fixture units shall be computed from Chapter 4 of the 2013 California Uniform Plumbing Code. The method of arriving at the charge per fixture unit and the application of a “diminishing use” factor thereof is particularly set forth in Exhibit A of this chapter. [Ord. 2014-2A § 907.]

3.05.670 Fees – Connection charges.

In addition to any other charges established by the ordinances, rules and regulations of the District, there shall be collected, prior to connection to the sanitary sewer system of the District, special connection charges, as follows:

(1) Assessment Connection Charge. For any parcel, unit or lot, or part of said property, lying within the present boundaries of said District or hereafter annexed to said District, which abuts on or can be directly served by any existing main sewer or sanitary sewer facilities of the District, constructed pursuant to special assessment proceedings, additional connection charges to be paid prior to the issuance of a permit for connection in any such areas are hereby established as follows:

(a) Where said facilities constructed pursuant to special assessment proceedings consist of collection mains, together with major interceptor mains and/or any other sanitary sewer facilities, an additional connection charge shall be collected, in a sum to be computed by the District Engineer, as said property’s share of the cost of the existing sewer facilities of the District to be used by said property. Said sum shall be the equivalent of the cost to similar properties within the District which have paid for said facilities so to be used. Said sum shall include all costs incident to the installation of such facilities, together with interest charges thereon. Said sum shall not include any amounts for which bonds of the District are then outstanding and to which said property is or shall become subject.

(2) Special Connection Charge. For any parcel, unit or lot, or part of said property which abuts on or can be directly served by any existing main sewer or sanitary sewer facilities of said District constructed pursuant to special agreement, wherein the District has agreed to reimburse to the party making the original installation a share of the cost of original construction attributable to parcels of property later connecting to said main or facilities, special connection charges in addition to any other charges established by the District, which must be paid prior to the issuance of a permit for connection, are hereby established as follows:

(a) Where said facilities constructed pursuant to special agreement consist of collection mains together with trunk mains and/or any other sanitary sewerage facility, an additional special connection charge shall be collected in a sum to be computed by the District Engineer as said property’s share of the cost of the sewer mains and other sanitary sewer facility of the District, constructed pursuant to special agreement, to be used by said property. Said sum shall be equivalent to the pro rata share of the cost of the installation made pursuant to the special agreement which would have been paid by said property for the facilities so to be used if said property had contributed its equitable share to the original cost of construction. Said sum shall include all costs incident to the installation of such mains and facilities. [Ord. 2014-2A § 908.]

3.05.680 Special connection charges.

In addition to any other charges established herein, the District may establish special connection charges for any sewer connection when, in the opinion of the Board, the circumstances of such connection necessitate the establishment of unusual conditions or necessitate the payment of charges over and above those established herein. [Ord. 2014-2A § 909.]

3.05.690 Sewer permit and inspection charges.

Permit and inspection charges are hereby established as follows:

(1) Single-Family Residence. A fee of $50.00 shall be paid to the District for inspecting each single-family residential building sewer installation.

(2) Commercial, Industrial, Church, Trailer Court, Multiple Dwelling, School, Public and Other Users. A fee of $50.00 per 100 lineal feet of sewer for inspecting said sewer installation shall be paid to the District for each lateral sewer installation serving commercial, industrial, church, trailer court, multiple dwelling, school, public and other users, with a minimum of $100.00 for said inspection. Where such property is to be developed for commercial and industrial uses such as, in the opinion of the District Secretary, will necessitate the conduct of special analyses of the effect of the installation on the sewage effluent, the person seeking a permit for such installation shall provide the District with any such analyses as the District may require at the sole cost and expense of the person seeking such permit.

(3) Public Sewer Construction Permit. A fee of $50.00 per 100 lineal feet of sewer for inspecting said sewer installation, with a $100.00 minimum inspection fee, shall be paid to the District for the issuance of a permit and inspecting the installation of public sewer mains consisting of extensions of the existing public sewer facilities of the District. Should the District Secretary deem that the fee provided herein is, or may be, inadequate to pay all of the costs and expenses of the District, he may decline to issue a permit until the Board has reviewed the application for the permit. The Board may determine that the permit be subject to payment of fees in an amount fixed by the District in the estimated cost of all engineering, legal, inspection and other costs which may be incurred by the District required to insure compliance with this chapter and all other applicable rules and regulations. If the fee so collected shall be in excess of the actual costs to the District, any surplus shall be refunded to the applicant, upon completion and satisfactory compliance with the permit and all applicable rules and regulations. If the fee so established is less than the actual costs to the District the applicant shall pay the excess costs to the District prior to acceptance of the sewer facilities by the District.

(4) Connection to Force Main. A fee shall be paid to the District for issuing a permit and inspecting any work which includes connection of the sewer to a force main under the jurisdiction of the District in the same manner as provided in subsection (3) of this section.

(6) Administrative Fee. An administrative fee of $50.00 will be charged to each applicant requesting a permit. The administrative fee covers the District’s cost to issue the permit, recording all information into the District’s electronic database, review plans and specifications, and accounting and additional administrative duties required to issue a permit. [Ord. 2014-2A § 910.]

3.05.700 Bond – Public sewer construction.

No sewer shall be covered at any point until it has been inspected and passed for acceptance. No sewer shall be connected either directly or indirectly to the District’s public sewer system until the work covered by appropriate permit has been completed, inspected and approved. All sewers shall be tested for leakage in the presence of the appropriate inspector and shall be cleaned of all debris accumulated from construction operations. If the test proves satisfactory, the inspector shall issue a certificate of satisfactory completion. [Ord. 2014-2A § 913.]

3.05.730 Notification.

It shall be the duty of the person doing the work authorized by permit to notify the office of the District in writing that said work is ready for inspection. Such notification shall be given not less than 48 hours before the work is to be inspected. It shall be the duty of the person doing the work to make sure that the work will stand the tests required by the District before giving the above notification. [Ord. 2014-2A § 914.]

3.05.740 Condemned work.

When any work has been inspected and the work condemned and no certification of satisfactory completion given, a written notice to that effect shall be given instructing the owner of the premises, or the agent of such owner, to repair the sewer or other work authorized by the permit in accordance with the ordinances, rules and regulations of the District. An additional fee for reinspection will be charged for each subsequent inspection. Said additional fee shall be in an amount sufficient to reimburse all District costs and expenses attributable to each reinspection. [Ord. 2014-2A § 915.]

3.05.750 All costs paid by owner.
