§ 42-359. Sanitary sewerage system.

(a)

Costs. Sanitary sewers, including all related items (manholes, wyes, tees, stubs for future extensions, etc.), shall be installed meeting the specifications and requirements of the City. Where sewers larger than eight inches in diameter are required, the subdivider shall be responsible for the cost of an eight-inch sewer. The difference in cost between the eight-inch sewer and that installed shall be borne by the City.

(b)

Adequate service available. The subdivider shall construct sanitary sewers in such a manner as to make adequate sanitary sewer service available to each lot within the subdivision. Sewer service lines of the sizes and materials required by the Plumbing Inspector shall be installed from the sanitary sewers to the property line of every lot in the subdivision. This installation will be coordinated with the installation of sanitary sewers. If central sewer facilities are not available, the subdivider shall make provision for adequate private sewage disposal systems as specified by the Community Board of Health and the Division of Health, Department of Health and Social Services; however, any lot containing less than one acre of land and being less than 150 feet wide must be served by public sanitary sewer facilities, unless in the considered opinion of the Common Council such service will be made available to the subdivision within five years of the date of the submission of the preliminary plat. The Common Council may require the installation of sewer laterals to the street lot line. If, at the time of final platting, sanitary sewer facilities are not available to the plat, but will become available within a period of five years from the submission of the preliminary plat, the subdivider shall install or cause to be installed sanitary sewers and sewer laterals to the street lot line in accordance with this section and shall cap all laterals as may be specified by the City Engineer. The size, type and installation of all sanitary sewers proposed to be constructed shall be in accordance with plans and standard specifications approved by the City Engineer. All sanitary sewer facilities shall be floodproofed.
