§ 9.4. Sanitary sewer management.

9.4.1.

When public sanitary sewers are within 300 feet of the subdivision, the subdivider shall provide sanitary sewer services to each lot within the bounds of the subdivision. All street sewers serving lots in the subdivision shall be installed by the subdivider. A formula may be developed by the department of public works to provide for a sharing of the costs of sewer facilities needed to serve the subdivision and other subdivisions in the same drainage basin.

9.4.2.

When, in the written opinion of the board of health and the department of public works, public sanitary sewer is not accessible, an alternate method of sewage disposal for each lot or a community sewerage disposal system may be used when in compliance with the standards of the board of health and Fulton County Sewer Regulations.

9.4.3.

When the operation of a temporary sanitary sewer system requires land to be set aside for a disposal plant, the property owner shall give the county title to the property for as long as the plant is in operation. The title may carry a reversionary clause returning the property to the owner when the site is no longer necessary for the operation of the plant.

9.4.4.

In a drainage basin which at time of plat application is scheduled for a public sewerage system, all subdivisions shall be provided with a temporary community sewerage disposal system as approved by the department of public works and the board of health. The system shall include permanent sewerage outfall lines plus a temporary treatment plant to be installed by the subdivider.

Whenever the installation of a sanitary sewer is required, as provided by these rules and regulations, no new street shall be paved without the sewer being first installed in accordance with the requirements of the sewer specifications of the Fulton County Department of Public Works and the board of health and Fulton County Sewer Regulations.

If a subdivision is re-platted and the originally platted lots configuration is changed after the sewer service lines have been installed, the sewer system shall be modified to properly serve each lot in accordance with Fulton County sewer specifications.
