Every within a be served by a water supply and sewer system that is adequate to accommodate the reasonable needs of the proposed use and comply with all applicable health regulations. Where public or community water supply and/or sewer systems are proposed, a letter from each respective agency must accompany the application, whereby the letter states that there is sufficient capacity to make connection to the utility. The must provide evidence that water supply and/or sewer system plans have been approved by the appropriate agency. All public or private (community) water supply and sewerage systems be installed and meet the requirements of the Henderson County Health Department or other governmental authorities having jurisdiction thereof. The development plan be approved contingent on final approval from the agencies; however, the not be approved until all the final approvals have been obtained.
(A) Individual water supply and sewer systems (well and septic tanks). For in which the water supply and/or sewer system to be installed is an individual system for each , the installation of the systems will not be required prior to approval.
(B) If the
in question is to have a sewer system other than one connected to a municipal system, and other than described in division (A) above, the
required:
(1) The
must provide a statement of responsibility for any sewer lines extending beyond the
to the point(s) of connection.
(2) The
must provide drawings of sewer lines extending beyond the
to the point(s) of connection. These drawings should also show all locations with sufficient area for repair, if needed;
(3) Sealed approval of the local Health Department or agency currently in authority; and
(4) Engineered plans, including drawings of sewage lift stations, as to the system.
(5) If the private sewer line is to run along a public
with no recorded
, a third party agreement with the agency currently in authority of said
, the Town of Mills River, and the
must be reached.
(C) Public water supply and sewer system connection requirement.
(1) A
be required to connect to a public
when the
is located within a distance from the existing water system equal to the product of 100 feet multiplied by the number of
proposed for the
. However, if the
is located more than 5,000 feet from an existing water line, such connection is not a requirement.
(2) A
be required to connect to a public sewer system when the
is located within a distance equal to the product of 50 feet multiplied by the number of proposed
; however, the maximum distance required for connection
be 2,500 feet.
(3) Exceptions to this provision
be allowed on the basis of terrain, availability of acquiring
, denial of allocation by the public utility, insufficient capacity of the public system or other circumstances which are unusual or unique to this site. Requests for exceptions must be made, in writing, to the
who
require that such requests be supported by a professional engineer’s review of the
plans and planned route of the utility extension. If the
determines that it would not be economically feasible for a
to be connected to a public water or sewer system, another system
be used, subject to approval by the appropriate agencies.
(D) Fire hydrants. Any served by a public water system meet the respective State of North Carolina's minimum requirements for fire hydrant installation. For any without a fire suppression rated water system, that either has or is adjacent to an adequate permanent surface water supply, the be required to install a dry fire hydrant system, the type and the location of which is to be determined by the Fire Marshal.
