shall next verify the location and elevation of the property ser- vice stub at the lot line, so that both sewer pipes that are to be connected will be located and verified before digging the connecting trench. If any discrepancy is found that would materially affect the sewer connection as planned, the installer shall promptly notify the Village by contacting the Clerk -Treasurer, the Village Plumbing Inspector or the Engineer. The Village will assume no responsibility for extra work, damages, or delays unless it is notified as described above and has no opportunity to verify the discrepancy prior to actual installation. (4) Alignment. No connecting sewer shall contain bends or a combination of bends which at any point shall be greater than 45 degrees, and no more than three bends, regardless of angle, shall be permitted in any single house connection, except where manholes are constructed at such points and in manner as directed by the Village Plumbing Inspector.

No connecting sewer shall be laid within twenty feet of any well. (5) Trenching and Backfilling. All excavations shall be open -trench work unless otherwise authorized by the Village Plumbing Inspector.

Backfilling shall be placed in layers and solidly tamped or packed up to two feet above the pipe. Backfilling shall not be done until the section to be backfilled has been inspected and approved by the Village Plumbing Inspector. (6) Use of Old House Sewers. Sewer connections may be made directly to the pipe outlet from the building served provided the pipe outlet is cast iron. No cesspool or septic tank shall be connected to any portion of a house sewer that is also laid across or over any existing cesspool or septic tank. The existing cess- pool or septic tank shall first be pumped clean and filled with earth to the surrounding ground level. (7) Connections at Stub Only. Every connecting sewer shall be connected to the municipal system only at the stub provided for the property served by the connection except where otherwise ex- pressly authorized by the Village Council.
