§ 91-9. Subdivision requirements for drainage.

A. 

The developer of a property subdivision within the city shall submit to the Director and to any other local or state agency or officer having jurisdiction thereover the proposed method of providing for ground drainage and sewage disposal in the development. The method proposed shall be indicated on a plot plan or separate plan showing gradient and datum lines, together with specifications or descriptive information so as to clearly indicate the functioning and construction of the layout. The developer shall post a performance bond in the amount specified by the Director, which bond shall guarantee satisfactory performance of the proposed method of ground drainage and sewage disposal. No building permits shall be issued to any developer of a property subdivision until the ground drainage and sewage disposal layout have been approved by the Director and by any other local or state agency or officer having jurisdiction thereover.

B. 

In cases where a developer of a property subdivision plans to install any sewer laterals within the streets of the development, said developer shall furnish, at the time the plans for such laterals are submitted for approval, a maintenance bond issued by a bonding company acceptable to the Director and of a value of 5% of the estimated cost of the proposed sewers, but in no case for less than $1,000. The bond shall guarantee for a term of two years correction of any defects in the sewer system, including but not limited to leaks or excessive infiltration in the street sewers, manholes and building sewers. Should any defects arise within the two-year period, the Director shall promptly notify, in writing, the developer as well as the bonding company.

C. 

Where a developer of a property subdivision plans to construct a sewage pumping station in conjunction with a system of street sewers, the plans and specifications for such pumping station shall be submitted to and approved by the Director and by any state agency having jurisdiction thereover prior to the construction of said pumping station.
