(a) Service. All new subdivisions shall include provisions for the City sanitary sewer service to all lots.
(b) Location and Alignment. All sanitary sewers shall be located on the opposite side of the street from watermains and as shown on the typical street section for the appropriate type street in the appendix (except in horizontal street curves) unless approved otherwise by the City Planning, Zoning and Building Commission due to unusual conditions in which a different location would provide a better arrangement. Sanitary sewer alignment in horizontal street curves shall be straight between manholes and shall minimize the amount of deviation from the typical street section location. Sanitary sewer grades shall be sufficient to provide a minimum velocity of two (2) feet per second when flowing full.
(c) Size. The minimum size for sanitary sewers shall be eight (8) inches. Larger sanitary sewer sizes may be required where sanitary flows require such an increase or, if in the opinion of the Service Director or the City Planning, Zoning and Building Commission, anticipated future development adjacent to the subdivision justifies such an increase. The additional construction cost (above the construction cost of the size sanitary sewer that would otherwise be required) for sanitary sewer (and appurtenances) size increases due to anticipated future development shall be borne by the City.
(d) Connections. New sanitary sewers (and appurtenances) shall not be connected to existing sanitary sewers (and appurtenances) of insufficient capacity. New sanitary sewers (and appurtenances), where feasible, shall be connected to the adjacent existing sanitary sewer with the largest amount of unused capacity.
(e) Standards. Sanitary sewers and appurtenances, including manholes, pump stations and force mains, shall be designed and laid out in accordance with the current standards of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and shall be approved by such agency prior to any construction of such improvements. Manhole spacing shall not exceed 400 feet.
(f) Laterals. Sanitary sewer laterals shall be a minimum size of six (6) inches and a minimum grade sufficient to provide a minimum velocity when flowing full of two (2) feet per second. Laterals shall be extended from the sanitary sewer to ten (10) feet beyond the right of way line for each lot and shall not be located under or within ten (10) feet of driveways wherever practical. Lateral ends shall be plugged watertight until the time of connection to the building lateral.
