(A) Sanitary sewerage facilities. All new or replaced sanitary sewerage facilities and private package sewage treatment plants (including all pumping stations and collector systems) shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the systems and discharges from the systems into the floodwaters. In addition, they shall be located and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damage and impairment.
(B) Water facilities. All new or replacement water facilities shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the system and be located and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damages.
(C) Drainage facilities. All storm drainage facilities shall be designed to convey the flow of surface waters without damage to persons or property. Systems shall ensure drainage away from buildings and on-site waste disposal sites. The Town Council may require a primarily underground system to accommodate frequent floods and a secondary surface system to accommodate larger, less frequent floods. Drainage plans shall be consistent with local and regional drainage plans. The facilities shall be designed to prevent the discharge of excess runoff onto adjacent properties.
(D) Utilities. All utilities, such as gas lines, electrical, and telephone systems, being placed in flood-prone areas shall be located, elevated (where possible), and constructed to minimize the chance of impairment during a flooding occurrence.
(E) Streets and sidewalks. Streets and sidewalks shall be designed to minimize their potential for increasing and aggravating the levels of flood flow. Drainage openings shall be required to sufficiently discharge flood flows without unduly increasing flood heights.
