Glasgow Each Building to Have Sewer ordinance (§ 700.350)

Chapter 700: Water and Sewer · Article IV. Sewer Regulations

In short: Every building must have its own separate sewer line. The one exception is a building behind another on an interior lot when no private sewer is available or can be built to it through an adjoining alley, court, yard or driveway; then the front building's sewer may be extended to the rear one.

Our plain-English summary, not the official text or legal advice. The ordinance below is what counts.

A separate and independent building sewer shall be provided for every building; except where one (1) building stands at the rear of another on an interior lot and no private sewer is available or can be constructed to the rear building through an adjoining alley, court, yard, driveway, the building sewer from the front building may be extended to the rear building and the whole considered as one (1) building sewer.
