      3.   Water conservancy features shall be considered and provided for in every subdivision of land. This shall include:
         a.   Lakes, ponds and water impoundments shall be constructed wherever the topographic and soil conditions make such structures feasible and reasonable, and such costs are not prohibitive. Such structures shall be protected from contamination and the surface area of the water shall belong to the lots adjacent to the water. The same shall be in accordance with the applicable provisions of the building code as now in effect or hereafter amended.
         b.   House cisterns may be constructed in conjunction with all new residential construction. Cisterns shall be subject to the approval and review of the plan commission/zoning board of appeals and village engineer.

The precise location of the manhole and the suction pipe shall be subject to the approval of the village engineer. The purpose of this structure is to provide a source of water for firefighting vehicles in the event of a local fire emergency. This improvement shall be installed prior to the issuance of building permits for residences.
In addition, there shall be depicted on the face of the final plat of subdivision the following language:
As a condition to the approval of the final plat of subdivision, the developer of the subdivision is required to and shall install a suction pipe in the pond and a manhole structure adjacent to the pond situated within the subdivision.

      2.   In the event that soil or topographic conditions on single-family residential lots of forty thousand (40,000) square feet or more will not permit the use of individual septic systems, larger lot sizes shall be dedicated.
      3.   On all sites where sanitary sewer mains are not available, septic systems shall be installed in accordance with all applicable village, state and county requirements. 1 A soil survey map prepared by a certified soil scientist which shows soil types, depth to seasonal groundwater and a delineation of the areas at twelve (12) inches and twenty-four (24) inches to seasonal ground water.

A report shall accompany the map summarizing the data and the areas of suitability and nonsuitability for on-site waste water treatment systems. An Alternative to the soils map is to provide the same information and data derived from four (4) borings in the anticipated on-site waste disposal area per each proposed lot, if known.
