§ 13.24.440. Stopping overflows into public sewers.

Whenever it comes to the attention of the city engineer that sewage is overflowing from any plumbing fixture which is below manhole grade in street or right-of-way due to the backing up of sewage in the public sewer, or due to pressure in the public sewer, or due to any cause whatsoever, except a temporary stoppage in any such plumbing fixture, the city engineer may order and require such plumbing fixture to be plugged up, or capped, or may require that a backwater trap or backwater sewer valve, required by Section 13.24.300 be installed to prevent such overflow.
