(A) Proposed residential development.
(1) Prior to preliminary plat approval, the developer of any proposed residential development shall be required to evaluate the feasibility of extending an existing public or enclosed sanitary sewer system. The feasibility of providing a direct connection shall be projected for the entire project area and shall be based upon the maximum gross density permitted in the zoning district in which the development is located. A direct connection shall be required when the total length of the sanitary sewer lines required from the existing sanitary sewer system to the nearest property line of the proposed project is less than 300 feet per lot in the total project, that is 300 feet times the number of lots in the total project.
(2) The County Board of Health will only consider the use of private individual absorption systems for residential development after the developer has shown that the use of collection sewers and central treatment is not feasible.
(B) Proposed non-residential development. Prior to approval, the developer of any proposed non- residential sewage development shall be required to evaluate the feasibility of extending an existing public or enclosed sanitary sewer system. A direct connection shall be required based upon the sewage per day, as set forth hereafter:
Sewage Flow Per Day | Distance from Public or Enclosed Sewer System |
0 - 499 | 250 feet |
500 - 1,499 | 500 feet |
1,500 - 2,999 | 2,000 feet |
3,000 + | 5,280 feet for each 3,000 gal. |
