Sec. 17-115. - Sealing of abandoned sewers.

When any building or other structure previously served by a connection to any public sewer or drain is demolished, destroyed, abandoned or altered so that any drain or portion of an abandoned plumbing system which is directly or indirectly connected to any public sewer or drain is no longer used and is no longer connected to the drainage system of the building or structure, then the open end of such drain which discharges, directly or indirectly, into a public sewer or drain shall be promptly closed and sealed off so that no water or waste not otherwise permitted to enter the public sewer or drain shall be so discharged thereinto. The director of public works shall be notified of such abandonment or discontinuance and all sealing of building sewers shall be done by the sewer division personnel, to the satisfaction of the director.
