(A) Sanitary sewers should be designed to maintain a minimum velocity of two feet per second. The design of the overall sewer system shall be in conformance with the requirements of the City Standard Specifications, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA), the Ohio Department of Health and Recommended Standards for Wastewater Facilities (Great Lakes - Upper Mississippi River Board of State Public Health and Environmental Managers: 1990), as may be subsequently updated or amended.
(B) Sanitary sewer lines should be located in the street right-of-way, except under special conditions, when this requirement may be waived by the Planning and Zoning Board, upon recommendation by the City Engineer.
(C) Only under circumstances of extreme hardship shall sewage lift stations, sewage grinder pumps or individual household sewage disposal systems be permitted in subdivisions established after the effective date of this chapter. Such systems shall only be permitted with the approval of the Planning and Zoning Board. The owner/developer shall be responsible for all costs associated with any lift station until such time that 60% of the lots in the subdivision are developed.
(D) Minimum line size shall be eight inches. Downstream sewer pipe sizes shall be greater than or equal to the upstream size unless otherwise approved by the Planning and Zoning Board. If larger pipe sizes are required to accommodate future growth, the city may participate in the costs associated with the larger sizes, in accordance with §§ 153.475 through 153.477.
