(A) Survey monuments. A subdivision boundary corners, block and lot corners, road intersection corners and points or tangency and curvature shall be marked with survey monuments meeting the minimum requirements of state law. All U.S., state, county and other official benchmarks, monuments or triangular stations in or adjacent to the property shall be preserved in precise position.
(B) Grading. Streets and lots shall be graded to secure proper drainage and to prevent the collection of storm water in pools.

(E) Sanitation. When located within the service area of a public sanitary sewerage system, sanitary sewers shall be constructed throughout the entire subdivision in such manner as to service adequately all lots with connection to such public system.
(1) Storm water drainage shall not be permitted to combine with sanitary sewers, nor shall sanitary sewage be permitted in storm water sewers.
(2) Where lots cannot be connected with a public sewerage system, provisions must be made for sanitary sewerage facilities, consisting of a central treatment plant or individual disposal devices for each lot. This does not mean that the subdivider must provide such devices.
(3) Any subdivision or lot not provided with off-site water and off-site sewer facilities shall be subject to soil and percolation tests being made to determine whether or not the lot size proposed will meet minimum standards of health and sanitation. Such tests shall be made at the expense of the subdivider.
(4) All proposed sewage disposal systems shall comply with the regulations and recommended standards of the State Department of Health.
(F) Water supply. Water supply for all areas shall be designed to meet the regulations and recommended standard of the State Department of Health. When the subdivision is located within the service area of a public water supply system, water mains not less than six inches in diameter shall be constructed throughout the entire subdivision in such a manner as to serve adequately all lots and tracts with connection to such public system together with shut-off valves and fire hydrants at intervals of not less than 600 feet.
