Chapter 16.24 DESIGN STANDARDS
Section 16.24.130 Sanitary sewage disposal.
A. A sanitary sewage disposal system
shall be designed and constructed by the subdivider to
provide adequate sewage service for all lots in the subdivision. Except for administrative or
agricultural subdivisions, sewage treatment shall be provided by a municipally owned or controlled
sewage treatment plant.
B. Reserved.
C. Improvement plans for a permanent
sewage system shall be provided showing pipe sizes,
gradients, type of pipe, invert and finished grade elevations, location and type of manholes, service
line locations, and the location, type and size of all lift or pumping stations. The following
standards shall apply to all sewer systems:
1. At least eight-inch sewer lines
will be installed whenever more than one single-family
residence is to be served. If force mains are to be used, the line shall be sized to provide adequate
service to the proposed development.
2. At least six-inch service connections
from the sewer line to the property line of each lot will
be installed with the location marked.
3. Manholes or inspection holes, will
be provided at all interceptor and lateral junctions, at the
end of each line, and at all changes in direction, grade and size.
D. For properties unable to be served
by public sewer collection systems:
1. Each lot must be served by an individual
subsurface disposal system of sufficient size to
accommodate the wastewater generated by the uses permitted on the property. The permeability
ratings contained in the Soil Survey of Bartholomew County shall be used as a basis for
determining land suitability for subsurface disposal systems, unless an on-site soil evaluation by a
qualified soil scientist shows that other soil types are found on the property. The department or
commission may request that any such evaluation be reviewed by the Soil Conservation Service.
