3) Storm sewer facilities shall be located in the road right-of-way where feasible, or in the perpetual unobstructed easements of appropriate width. 4) In the storm sewer design phase, the subdivider shall study the effect of each subdivision on existing downstream drainage facilities outside the area of the subdivision. The subdivider's drainage studies together with such other studies as shall be appropriate shall serve as a guide to needed improvements. Where it is anticipated that the additional runoff incident to the development of the subdivision will overload an existing downstream drainage facility, the Council may withhold approval of the subdivision until provision has been made for the recovery of the cost for the improvement of said potential condition in such sum as the Governing Body shall determine. No subdivision shall be approved unless adequate drainage will be provided to an adequate drainage watercourse or facility. 5) The subdivider must document that adequate storm detention is included in the storm sewer design. This may require work outside of the proposed subdivision's boundaries which is the sole responsibility of the subdivider. The City may require this work to be undertaken to protect surrounding properties as a condition for approval of the subdivision. 6) The storm sewers shall, upon inspection, approval and acceptance by the City, become the property of the city. D) Water Main System: General: The subdivider of land being platted shall install and construct a water main system to adequately serve all lots or parcels of land within the platted area, with due regard to the present and reasonably foreseeable needs of the entire area; and shall connect the same to the City's existing water mains. The minimum acceptable standard for water main design will be the same as the IDNR recommended fire flow of 250 GPM with 20 psi residual. 1) The subdivider shall install adequate water facilities, and fire hydrants which shall be subject to City specifications and shall be subject for review and approval
