Rutland, VT: Rutland sanitary connections exclude stormwater sources

Rutland City’s published ordinance requires written permission for public sewer connections and prohibits connecting roof, foundation and other stormwater sources to a public sanitary sewer through a building drain. This is a city rule, not a Rutland County-wide standard.

Remote plan-based takeoff support; no local office, completed local project or site investigation is represented by this page. Cost, delivery schedule and deliverables depend on the agreed project scope.

What this changes in the bid review

Estimating interpretation: A combined line label on an early drawing needs clarification before quantities are issued. Follow the approved design and keep foundation drainage separate from sanitary work unless the responsible authority has explicitly resolved the receiving system.

Check the project documents

Mark each item after reviewing its supporting document.Identify sanitary and storm/foundation-drain routes separately.Obtain the written sewer connection permission and approved connection detail.Check that the takeoff does not merge storm drainage into the sanitary lateral scope.

Clarification to request: Where does the approved design discharge foundation and roof drainage separately from the sanitary connection?
