A. Sewers and Water Mains Required. Sanitary sewers and water mains shall be installed to serve each new development and to connect developments to existing mains in accordance with the city’s construction specifications and the applicable comprehensive plan policies.

B. Sewer and Water Plan Approval. Development permits for sewer and water improvements shall not be issued until the city engineer has approved all sanitary sewer and water plans in conformance with city standards.

C. Oversizing. Proposed sewer and water systems shall be sized to accommodate additional development within the area as projected by the comprehensive plan. The developer shall be entitled to system development charge credits for the oversizing. (Note: Dolan v. City of Tigard findings should accompany any decision to require oversizing.)

D. Permits Denied. Development permits may be restricted by the city where a deficiency exists in the existing water or sewer system which cannot be rectified by the development and which if not rectified will result in a threat to public health or safety, surcharging of existing mains, or violations of state or federal standards pertaining to operation of domestic water and sewerage treatment systems. Building or development moratoriums shall conform to the criteria and procedures contained in ORS 197.505. [Ord. 966 § 2 (Exh. B), 2021.]
