In every subdivision, provision shall be made for the satisfactory disposal of sanitary sewage.
(A) Connections to Public Sewerage System. When, in the opinion of either the City Engineer or the County Sanitary Engineer, as provided herein, a public sanitary sewer main is reasonably accessible, procurable and of adequate design and capacity to service the extended area without impairing sewer service in any part of the existing sewerage system, the subdivision shall be provided with a complete sanitary sewerage system connected to such sewer main, including a lateral connection for each lot. The design and installation of the sewerage system shall meet the approval of the City Engineer, if a City sewer is extended, or the County Sanitary Engineer, if a County sanitary district sewer is extended.
(B) Private Waste Disposal. When a public sanitary sewer main is not reasonably accessible, procurable or of adequate design or capacity, the subdivider shall either install a sanitary sewerage system and treatment plant or provide individual septic tanks for each lot. All sewerage systems shall be subject to the approval of the Lima-Allen County Board of Health and, if so directed by the Planning Commission, the State Board of Health. Septic tanks and installations shall conform to the regulations of the Lima-Allen County Board of Health.
No treatment plant provided for herein shall be approved until an official public agency within the County has agreed to assume responsibility for the operation and maintenance thereof. Such agency may require that deed restrictions be imposed and that such property be assessed for such operating and maintenance costs.
