I received a letter from County of Erie Dept. of Development and Planning, Sewer District No. 6 demanding an inspection of my property. They threaten compliance through Section 801 of the "Rules and Regulations for Erie CountySewer Disticts".

They are welcome to inspect the outside of my property. However, they want to go inside my house. There is no sump pump, which I understand can be illegally connected into the sewer system.

I haven't applied for any building or plumbing permits.

I feel this is an infringement of my rights. If they believe I'm doing something illegal, then they should charge me and get a warrant. The police cannot search your home without a warrant, why should they Dept. of Sewer Management (DSM) be allowed to?

Does anyone have any comments on this subject?
