SECTION 28-25 CURB AND GUTTER – Except as indicated in Section 28-24 above, curbs shall be constructed along all streets in accordance with the then applicable standards of the Board of Public Works and Safety.

Where the subdivision is located beyond the corporate limits, the Board of county commissioners of Delaware County shall exercise the same authority as the Board of Public Works and Safety.

SECTION 28-26 SANITARY SEWERS – Wherever it shall be unlawful by city ordinance or state statute to construct or maintain any privy, privy vault, cesspool, septic tank or any receptacle for human excrement on any lot within a subdivision, the subdivider shall provide a sanitary sewer system which connects to an established public sanitary sewer system or provide a separate treatment plant. Said sewer system shall be adequate for the needs of the subdivision.

The Commission may require the subdivider to provide sanitary sewers under this section that are larger than would be necessary to meet the needs of the subdivision, provided that the Board of Public Works and Safety shall enter into such contracts or make such provisions as are provided for by law with the subdivider to compensate him of the cost of requirements in excess of the needs of his subdivision. The Board of Public Works and Safety is further empowered to charge future subdivider’s, corporations, or persons as provided for by law for future connections to the facilities required by this section in a proportionate amount of the extra cost of the facility, based upon the area then being subdivided or developed. Where the subdivision is located beyond the corporate limits, the Board of County Commissioners of Delaware County shall exercise the same authority as the Board of Public Works and Safety.

Wherever it is not unlawful by city ordinance or state statute to construct or maintain any privy, privy vault, cesspool, septic tank or other method of treatment of human excrement, the Commission may, in its discretion, allow the subdivider to provide a disposal system comprised of septic tanks with absorption systems in lieu of sanitary sewer system connected to the city sanitary sewer system.

Any system of septic tanks with absorption fields within the jurisdiction area of the Commission and outside the corporate area of the city shall conform to the Sanitation Ordinance of Delaware County, Indiana, Ordinance No. S-1 passed on the 28^th day of January 1957. The subdivider shall provide the Commission with a statement from the Delaware County Sanitarian stating that, based on percolation tests, the proposed septic tank system can and will conform to the said sanitation ordinance. Any proposed subdivision not accompanied by such a statement shall not be approved by the Commission.

In addition, the Commission may require the subdivider to provide a sanitary sewer system which connects to a private disposal plant or to the city sanitary sewer system rather than the septic tank system. The subdivider shall furnish the Commission with percolation tests and any other data the Commission may require in this respect.
