A. Generally: The following developments shall be connected to a centralized wastewater collection and treatment system complying with this section:
1. All new, nonresidential development;
2. All residential development located on lots smaller than one-half (1/2) acre;
3. All new subdivisions located within one thousand two hundred feet (1,200') of an existing wastewater system that can provide adequate service;
4. All existing development located within five hundred feet (500') of an existing wastewater system that can provide adequate service;
5. Any development located on soils which cannot support on site treatment and disposal; and (Ord. 172, 9-24-1996, eff. 10-31-1996)
6. Any other development which cannot obtain on site treatment and disposal system approval from the Southern Nevada health district. (Ord. 172, 9-24-1996, eff. 10-31-1996; amd. Ord. 345, 6-27-2006, eff. 7-20-2006)
B. Design Standards: All wastewater systems shall be designed and constructed to comply with Clark County standards.
1. These design standards are not intended to cover extraordinary situations. Deviations will be allowed and may be required in those instances where considered justified by the director of sanitation.
2. Sanitary sewer systems should be designed or built for the ultimate tributary population. Due consideration should be given to current zoning regulations and approved planning and zoning reports where applicable. Sewer capacities should be adequate to handle the anticipated maximum hourly quantity of sewerage and industrial waste, together with an adequate allowance for infiltration and other extraneous flow. Design flows shall be subject to approval of the director of sanitation for each particular development.
C. Off Site Improvements: The developer of a parcel shall provide for on site and off site improvements required to adequately serve a proposed development; provided, however, that the zoning official may authorize development to proceed if the director of public works certifies plans are approved for the necessary capital improvements and have been bonded to ensure construction within eighteen (18) months. In no event shall a certificate of occupancy be granted prior to completion of off site improvements.
D. Extension/Oversizing: Upon recommendation of the director of sanitation or the planning commission, the city council may require that wastewater lines be oversized to accommodate future development. The city shall reimburse the developer for the cost in excess of the minimum line size required to serve the proposed development; provided, that no reimbursement shall be granted for installation of a wastewater line with a diameter of eight inches (8") or less.
E. Wastewater System Construction: The director of sanitation shall review and approve all proposed wastewater system improvements prior to construction, and shall require inspection during construction of such improvements.
F. Wastewater System Easements: The property owner shall dedicate adequate easements to accommodate all wastewater system facilities required to serve new development, except individual service lines. The zoning official shall identify the location and dimensions of required easements, but in no instance shall an easement be narrower than twenty feet (20') in width. Easements should follow property lines to the greatest extent possible. (Ord. 172, 9-24-1996, eff. 10-31-1996)
