§ 1760-030. USE OF PUBLIC STORMWATER SYSTEM REQUIRED

(a)

Connection: New premises within an existing County stormwater service area and within 400 feet of an existing public drainage line or channel of sufficient capacity shall connect to that line or channel for drainage needs at the expense of the property owner.

(b)

Line or Channel Extension: Applicants requesting services requiring line or channel extensions shall be responsible for all costs associated with the installation of those line or channel extensions. At the discretion of the County, the parties may enter into a reimbursement agreement whereby the applicant may be allowed to recover a portion of those costs from fees paid for future connections to the extension. Where stormwater line or channel extensions are required for subdivisions, the owner and/or sub-divider shall be responsible for all costs associated with the installation of stormwater facilities required within the subdivision and any extension of stormwater transmission lines or channels from the subdivision to the nearest existing line or channel with sufficient capacity to serve the area. Upon acceptance by the County, the County will assume ownership, maintenance and control of the lines or channels.
