13.69.010 Generally.
In applying the minimum requirements found in this chapter for design and
construction of a sewer system, consideration shall be given to the quantity of
sewage, the adequacy and dependability of the facilities, the physical
conditions known to exist at the time and place of installation, and the
probable operating requirements. (Ord. 279 § 110, 1963).
13.69.020 Principles of design.
All collection facilities shall be of adequate size and capacity and shall
be correlated with treatment and storage facilities to meet the minimum
requirements of Section 13.69.030. All facilities shall be designed structurally
to withstand the physical stresses to which they may be subjected and shall be
free from structural and sanitary hazards. (Ord. 279 § 111,
1963).
13.69.030 Total capacity for sewage flow.
The total minimum required sewage capacity for any given service area
under consideration or unit sewer system shall be the sum of the minimum
residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, and ground water
contributions. The minimum hourly sewage capacity requirement shall be three
times the average daily sewage flow. (Ord. 279 § 112, 1963).
13.69.040 Average daily sewage flow.
The average daily sewage flow in gallons per day in the community sewer
system shall be obtained by the following:
A. Residential. The minimum
sewage contribution shall be 100 gallons per capita per day.
B. Commercial.

The county engineer shall be guided by, but may adjust, the quantities
set forth in this section on the basis of local conditions. (Ord. 279 §
113, 1963).
13.69.050 Lot density.
The density per lot for residential purposes shall be determined from and
be in harmony with Title 16, Subdivisions, and the zoning ordinance of the
county. (Ord. 279 § 114, 1963).
13.69.060 Exclusion.
