(a) Where an adequate public sanitary sewer system is available, public sanitary sewers shall be installed to adequately serve all lots, including lateral connections to the public system. In no instance shall sanitary sewers and storm sewers be combined. All sanitary sewer improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the standard drawings, design criteria and construction and materials specifications prepared by the City Engineer and Director of Public Works and the County Sanitary Engineering Department, and shall be inspected and approved by the City Engineer and Director of Public Works and by the appropriate utility company supplying sanitary and wastewater sewer service.
(b) Where the installation of individual sewage disposal systems is considered, the suitability of the soil for individual systems, the absorptive ability of the soil, surface drainage, ground water level and topography shall be the criteria for determining whether or not the installation of individual systems is permissible. Written authorization from the City Engineer and Director of Public Works and the County General Health District must be forthcoming before the installation of individual sewage disposal systems shall be permitted.
