Storm drainage, including drain tile around basements, shall not be permitted to empty into any sanitary sewer. Where a public storm water sewer is reasonably accessible, as determined by the Planning Commission, the subdivider shall connect with such storm drainage outfall system and shall do such grading and provide such drainage structures, including lateral connections, as may be required by the Engineer. Where a public storm water system is not reasonably accessible as determined by the Commission, but where the plans for the storm water drainage system of the district in which the subdivision is located have been prepared and officially approved, the subdivider shall install drainage facilities as may be required by the Engineer in conformity with such official plans. If the subdivision is in an area where public storm water system is not available, the subdivider shall do such grading and provide such drainage structures as may be required by the Engineer. Whenever the construction of streets and the necessary storm water system in a subdivision are such that the direction of storm water flow is diverted and affects surrounding properties, the subdivider shall obtain sufficient drainage easements to provide adequate disposal of the storm water.
