§ 155.051 SANITARY SEWERS.

   (A)   In this section and §§ 155.052 and 155.070, the phrase "the developer shall provide" shall be interpreted to mean that the developer shall install the facility referred to, or whenever a private sewage disposal system or an individual water supply is to be provided, that the developer shall require, as a condition of the sale of each lot in the subdivision, that the facilities referred to in these paragraphs shall be installed by the owner of the lot before occupation of the lot occurs.

   (B)   When a subdivision is reasonably accessible to a municipal sanitary sewer system, the developer shall provide the subdivision with a complete sanitary sewer system to be connected to the municipal sanitary sewer system, if feasible. A subdivision is considered to be reasonably accessible if it is contiguous to the municipal limits such that it may be annexed to the municipality and/or its property line is within 1,320 feet of a municipal sanitary sewer line, or the municipality is willing, at its expense, to extend a sanitary sewer line to within 1,320 feet of the subdivision property line.

   (C)   When no municipal sanitary sewer system is available or is not reasonably accessible to the subdivision, the developer shall provide the subdivision with one of the following:

      (1)   A complete sanitary sewer system to convey the sewage to a treatment plant, to be provided by the subdivider in accordance with minimum requirements of the State Environmental Protection Agency and the County Health Department, with adequate provision for the maintenance of such plant; or

      (2)   Private sewage disposal systems on individual lots consisting of septic tanks and tile absorption fields or other approved sewage disposal systems, where laid out in accordance with the provisions of the County Sanitary Health Ordinance and §§ 155.110 through 155.112.

   (D)   Upon completion of the sanitary sewer system installation a registered professional engineer shall certify that the sanitary sewer system complies with all the standards required by the county and the State Environmental Protection Agency. Certified copies of the plans for such sanitary sewer system to be built shall be filed with Plat Officer, County Health Department, and the State Environmental Protection Agency.

   (E)   Storm sewers shall not be connected to sanitary sewers.
