A. Installation in accordance with standards and specifications. The developer shall install water lines and fire hydrants in accordance with the standards and specifications of these and other applicable regulations. In no case shall the use of flexible PVC pipe be permitted.
B. Provision of adequate supply. Action shall be taken by the developer to extend or create a water supply district for the purpose of providing a water supply system capable of providing domestic water use and fire protection. This system shall provide an adequate supply of potable water to every lot in the subdivision.
C. Fire hydrant installation. Fire hydrants shall be required for all subdivisions except those approved for low-density zoning districts in which individual wells are to be used. Fire hydrants shall be located no more than six hundred (600) feet apart and within five hundred (500) feet of any structure and shall be approved by the City Manager. To eliminate future street openings, all underground utilities for fire hydrants, together with the fire hydrants themselves, and all other supply improvements shall be installed before any final paving of a street shown on the subdivision plat.
D. Installation where public water already accessible. Where a public water main is accessible, the developer shall install adequate water facilities, including fire hydrants, subject to the specifications of State or City requirements. All water mains shall be at least six (6) inches in diameter.
E. Approval of extensions. Water main extensions shall be approved by the appropriate government agencies.
F. Inclusion of location on preliminary plat and cost in bond. To facilitate the above, the location of all fire hydrants, all water supply improvements, and the boundary lines of proposed districts, indicating all improvements proposed to be served, shall be shown on the preliminary plat and the cost of installing the same shall be included in the performance bond to be furnished by the developer.
G. Water systems for low-density districts. In subdivisions approved by the Planning Commission for low-density zoning districts, if a public water system is not available, individual wells may be used or a central water system provided in such a manner that an adequate supply of potable water will be available to every lot in the subdivision. Water samples shall be submitted to the State Health Department for its approval, and individual wells and central water systems shall be approved by the State Health Department.
H. Arrangement for public water connections. If the Planning Commission requires that a connection to a public water main be eventually provided as a condition to approval of an individual well or central water system, the applicant shall make arrangements including the provision of necessary easements for future water service at the time the plat receives final approval. Performance or cash bonds may be required to ensure compliance.
