A. Persons desirous of tapping or connecting to the city’s sewage collection pipes or discharging to the city’s sanitary sewer shall have a licensed plumbing contractor or a contractor licensed under Chapter 13.24 make application, in writing, to the city for a right to work permit. A right to work permit is required for the installation of tees or wyes for service connection to sewage collection pipes; however a tapping fee will not be charged for these installations. Such application shall state the name of the contractor, a description of the premises, a description of the tap location, the size of the tap, the kind of service pipe to be used, and the purpose for which it is to be used. Such application must be made at least 2 days before the work is to be commenced. This application may be combined with forms for other permits required by the city and shall include payment of a fee as set by resolution of the Common Council. The permit application shall be supplemented by the plans, specifications or other information considered pertinent in the judgment of the Public Works Director. A right to work permit shall be issued after the Public Works Director or designee approves the application, and payment is made for fees as provided for in this chapter.
