1115.06 WATER AND SANITARY SEWAGE DISPOSAL.
(a) Public Water and Sanitary Sewage Disposal Systems. In the event a public water supply and a public sanitary sewage disposal system can reasonably be made available by the extension and construction of water mains and sanitary sewers, the developer shall be required to provide such utilities. The design of such utilities, together with the preparation of drawings and the construction thereof, shall be done under the supervision and direction of the Public Works Director inside the corporation limits in accordance with the current rules, regulations, specifications and procedures on file in the office of the Public Works Director. Anyone connecting to the City's Water Distribution or Sewer Collection system shall follow all rules, regulations, procedures, standards and specifications set forth by the City of Norwalk.
(b) Private Water and Sanitary Sewage Disposal Systems.
(1) In the event a public water supply and a public sanitary sewage disposal system cannot reasonably be made available, the developer shall submit proof satisfactory to the Public Works Director that the appropriate Board of Health has approved the sources of water for domestic use and the means of sanitary sewage disposal that shall be provided.
(2) If the subdivision is to consist of more than twenty-five dwellings, the subdivider shall provide an acceptable community sewage disposal system which is to discharge into a satisfactory outlet as determined by the Huron County Board of Health and the Public Works Director and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.
(3) A subdivision of more than twenty-five homes is not to be approved if it cannot be served by a public sanitary sewer or a community sewage disposal system. The installation of septic tanks and private disposal methods may be permitted for a subdivision of not more than twenty-five dwellings in accordance with the prescribed rules of the Huron County Board of Health, except where two or more subdivisions with a total of at least twenty-five dwellings are being planned contiguous to one another and construction shall be carried on at or nearly at the same time. In that event, an acceptable community sewage disposal system shall be constructed to serve the two or more subdivisions. Individual sewage disposal facilities and the installation of septic tanks and disposal fields shall be subject to the uniform home sewage disposal regulations adopted by the Huron County Board of Health for the Huron County Health District.
(4) When the Public Works Director determines a lift station is needed, costs will be assumed by the Developer.
(c) Plans and Specifications. In the event that a community type of sewage treatment or water purification plant or both are deemed necessary by the Board of Health, the plans and specifications for these facilities shall be approved by the Public Works Director, and the construction of the facilities shall be done under the supervision and direction of the Public Works Director. If deemed advisable by the Public Works Director, the complete construction of such utilities may be required prior to the sale of one or more parcels in the subdivision or a guarantee of public improvements may be substituted in accordance with Section 1115.14 of these Subdivision Regulations. The design of water mains and sanitary sewers, together with the preparation of drawings and the construction thereof, shall be approved by the Public Works Director, and in accordance with the current rules, regulations, specifications and procedures adopted by the City of Norwalk.
(d) All subdivisions and re-subdivisions shall be subject to the water and sewer by-laws. (Ord. 2011-008. Passed 3-15-11.)
