Foundation or footing drains to collect ground water and roof drains or other'surface water conduits connected should not be conneeted to the sanitary sewer system. Adequate field supervision and inspection b P by a qualified representative of the owner should be provided at all times during construction to assure that the project is constructed in compliance with the approved plans and specifications. The Agency assu no responsibility for the integrity of structures or physical features, or for the reliability, Y P y ty, durabili ty or efficiency of specific items of propriety equipment or. material. All applicable federal, state and local laws regulations or ordinances must be followed in the design, Ioca tion. and construction of proposed sewer systems or treatment works .
