ORDINANCE NO. O-02-26

Amending Section 130-33 of the City of Gadsden Code of Ordinances to include Lateral Discharge of Storm Water into the Sanitary Sewer Collection System

WHEREAS, the City adopts the International Plumbing Code (I.P.C. Section 11.1.03) which prohibits the lateral discharge of storm water into the sanitary sewer system;

WHERAS, the Gadsden Water Works and Sewer Board has identified properties within the City with structural storm water management systems which connect to its sanitary sewer systems. The structures identified pre-date the City’s enactment of the International Plumbing Code;

WHEREAS, the laterals dispersal of storm water into the Sanitary Sewer System may cause an overflow event;

WHEREAS, the Gadsden City Council intends to preserve our natural resources by assisting the Gadsden Water Works and Sewer Board to prevent possible Sanity Sewer System Overflows during heavy rain events;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GADSDEN, ALABAMA, as follows:

Section 130-33 of the City of Gadsden Code of Ordinances is amended to read as follows:

Sec. 130-33. Permits, Certificates and Licenses.

No building or other permit, certificate or other document of approval, or business or occupational use license, the use of which may be subject to the provisions of this chapter and the building code, shall be issued by any department, agency, or board of the city until the building official shall have certified that the use to be made of the permit, certificate or other document, or license, is in compliance with the provisions of this chapter.

(1) Building permit. No building or other structure shall be erected, moved, added to or structurally altered without a permit therefor issued by the building official. No building permit shall be issued by the building official except in conformity with the provisions of this chapter unless he receives a written order from the board of adjustment in the form of an administrative review, special exception or variance, as provided by this chapter.

(2) Building Service Sewers and Laterals. 

For any property designated by the water board, building service sewers and laterals discharging into its sanitary sewer collection system must be inspected prior to any issuance of a building permit. The inspection must be performed by a licensed plumber. The inspection may also include any existing building service sewer and drain, lateral, or collecting sewer that discharges wastewater directly or indirectly to the water board’s sewer system.

The licensed plumber must submit a report to the Gadsden Building Department and to the water board confirming that the building service sewer or lateral is in “satisfactory condition.” “Satisfactory Condition” means (a) that there is no inflow or infiltration occurring and no roof downspouts, exterior foundation drains, areaway drains, or any other channeled sources of surface runoff or groundwater are connected to the sewer or (b) that there is no sewer lateral or collecting sewer causing the discharge of septic wastewater, groundwater, or debris which either exceeds the design criteria of the sewer or is deemed objectionable by the water board.

If, based upon the licensed plumber’s inspection, any building service sewer or lateral is determined to be in “unsatisfactory condition”  — meaning (a) that there is inflow or infiltration occurring or one or more roof downspouts, exterior foundation drains, areaway drains, or any other channeled source of surface runoff or groundwater is connected to the sewer or (b) any sewer lateral or collecting sewer is causing the discharge of septic wastewater, groundwater, or debris which either exceeds the design criteria of the sewer or is deemed objectionable by the water board. – then the building service sewer or lateral shall be repaired or replaced at the property owner’s expense prior to issuance of the building permit. If a property owner fails or refuses to repair or replace a building service sewer or lateral determined to be in unsatisfactory condition, then the building permit shall not be issued. All costs and expense incidental to the repair or replacement shall be borne by the owner.

(3) Plans required. 

a.   The application for a permit shall be accompanied by a site plan, in duplicate and drawn to scale, showing such information as may be necessary to determine conformance with the requirements of this chapter.

b.   One copy of the plans shall be returned to the applicant by the building official after he shall have marked such copy either as approved or disapproved and attested to such approval or disapproval by his signature on such copy. One copy of the plans, similarly marked, shall be retained by the building official.

(4) Certificate of Occupancy. 

a.   It shall be unlawful to use or occupy or permit the use or occupancy of any building or premises, or both, of part thereof, hereafter created, erected, changed, converted, or wholly or partly altered or enlarged in its use or structure until after a certificate of occupancy (required by the building code of the city) shall have been issued therefor by the building official, stating that the proposed use of the building or land conforms to the requirements of this chapter.

b.   No nonconforming structure or use shall be renewed, changed, or extended, until a certificate of occupancy shall have been issued by the building official. The certificate of occupancy shall state specifically wherein the nonconforming use differs from the provisions of this chapter.

c.   No permit for erection, alteration, moving or repair of any building shall be issued until an application has been made for a certificate of occupancy, and the certificate shall be issued in conformity with the provisions of this chapter upon completion of the work.

d.   A temporary certificate of occupancy may be issued by the building official for a period not exceeding six months during alterations or partial occupancy of a building pending its completion.

Adopted by the City Council of Gadsden on January 20, 2026.
