General. In general, all sites within 500 feet of a public sanitary sewer main shall connect to and utilize the public sanitary sewer system. This requirement may be waived by agreement of both the Village Engineer and Village Planner if a substantial physical obstruction prevents connection without incurring extraordinary costs.
(A) No plat of any subdivision shall be approved unless the subdivider provides for construction of a sanitary sewer system adequate to serve the needs of the entire subdivision when the same is fully developed.

This requirement shall not apply to any new subdivision which cannot reasonably be provided with sanitary sewer service.

Capacity of sanitary sewers shall be determined utilizing Illinois Environmental Protection Agency regulatory requirements. The peaking factor for all eight inch and ten inch diameter sewers shall be at least 4.0.
