Title
Public Hearing for Revisions to the Department of Public Utilities Rules and Regulations: Sections S-2 Service Connections – Sewer, S-3 Responsibility for Sewer Facilities, and the Table of Contents
Recommended Action
I move that the Board of Public Utilities approve the revisions to the following sections of the Department of Public Utilities Rules and Regulations as presented: Sections S-2 Service Connections – Sewer, S-3 Responsibility for Sewer Facilities, and the Table of Contents.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the Rules and Regulations as presented.
Body
Sections S-2 Service Connections and Sewer, and S-3 Responsibility for Sewer Facilities had some clarifying language added regarding definitions and responsibilities for sewer service lines maintained by the customer and delivery lines with property line cleanouts that require acceptance and maintenance by the Utility.
In May 2006, the DPU Rules and Regulations were updated in their entirety. At that time, three sections from an older draft were inadvertently left in the Table of Contents, but any pertinent information and rules related to those topics were incorporated into other sections. Staff would now like to clean up the Table of Contents by removing those three sections.
S-6 General Discharge Prohibitions
S-7 Water Reuse
S-8 Back Water Valves
Alternatives
The alternatives are not accept these revisions or offer a different set of revisions.
Fiscal and Staff Impact
