Sanitary facilities shall be designed and constructed by the developer as required for the district in which the proposed subdivision is located for the proper disposal of wastes for each lot as follows.
(A) Public System. Where the proposed subdivision is located in a district requiring sanitary sewers and such a sewer outlet is accessible within the allowed limits described elsewhere, a public sanitary sewerage system and a house connection shall be provided for each lot.
(B) Independent System. Where a subdivision is located in a district requiring sanitary sewers but such a sewer outlet is not within the limits given in the following table, the Commission may permit the design and construction of an independent sanitary system, including a primary and secondary treatment plant and a house connection for each lot, provided that such a system is designed and the plant located so that it can be integrated into the Regional Sewer and Water Plan of Cuyahoga County and the temporary treatment plant abandoned when public trunk sewers are installed.
Number of Units | Limit of Sewer Outlet (Ft.) |
More than 3 but less than 20 | 500 |
20 or more but less than 40 | 1,000 |
40 or more but less than 60 | 2,000 |
60 or more but less than 100 | 3,000 |
100 or more but less than 200 | 5,000 |
200 or more | 10,000

(C) Septic Tanks. Where a minor subdivision is located in a district permitting septic tanks or located in a district planned for a sanitary sewerage system but an outlet is not accessible within 500 feet, individual septic tanks may be installed on lots of the size required by the Zoning Code. In addition, the Commission may require the construction of sanitary sewers and laterals for house connections, all of which are to be capped, if the construction of a trunk sewer is planned or programmed for the area.
(D) Design Standards. The sanitary sewerage and independent treatment system shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the standards and plans of the city or the County Sanitary Engineer, where he or she may have jurisdiction; trunk sewers in accordance with the Regional Sewer and Water Plan; and septic tanks in accordance with regulations of the County Board of Health. The developer shall construct and pay for all sanitary sewers up to and including 18 inches in diameter if they traverse his or her subdivision and are necessary to serve the tributary area of which they are a part. If extra-size or off-site sewers are required, standards for prorating costs are set forth in § 1248.11
