The subdivider shall secure written drainage right-of-way easements from all intervening landowners to dispose of all storm and surface drainage waters originating upon subdivided tracts to the nearest outlet, river, ditch or tile approved by the Bucyrus City Health Department to receive same, and shall construct all necessary facilities including underground pipe, inlets, catch basins or open drainage ditches, as determined by the City Engineering Department, to provide for adequate disposal of subsurface and surface water and maintenance of natural drainage courses. The velocity of flow in an open ditch shall not exceed four feet per second in soil ditches or six feet per second in turf gutters. Paved gutters will be required if velocities of flow are greater than those specified or if it is otherwise likely that destructive erosion will result. Drainage ditches shall not be permitted to discharge into any sanitary sewer facility.
