  • 310.1

    Jurisdiction with Public Sewer Systems

    310.1.1

    Where an adequately sized sanitary sewer is on the site, or on the street abutting the site, or readily accessible (as determined by the developer's financial feasibility study) without the need for off-site easements, or a construction contract for a sewer to be located on or adjacent to the site has been signed, the developer shall construct, at his own expense, a sewage collection system and connect it to the existing sanitary sewer. The design and construction of sanitary sewers and appurtenances shall be in accordance with the regulations, standards, and specifications of the Division of Sanitary Engineering, Tennessee Department of Public Health, and of the Governmental Engineer.

    310.1.2

    Where an adequately sized sanitary sewer is not on the site, nor on the street adjacent to the site, nor readily accessible to the site without the need for off-site easements, the developer shall have the option of choosing one of the following methods of sewage disposal:

    (a)

    Installing septic tanks and field lines in areas where soil conditions, geology and topography are favorable. The design, construction and installation of the septic tanks and field lines shall be in conformance with the standards and regulations of the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Health Department and subject to the approval of the Health Department.

    (b)

    Constructing, at the developer's expense, a sanitary sewage collection system to the nearest adequately sized, functioning sewer line.

    These regulations do not supersede any other local regulations pertaining to the design, financing or installation of sewers, nor do they supersede any regulations pertaining to the payments of fees to the local governments to pay for the installation of sewers.

    310.2

    Individual On-Site Subsurface Sewage Disposal Systems (Septic Tanks and Field Lines)

    In areas where public sewage systems are not available or required and where soil conditions, geology and topography are favorable, septic tanks and field lines may be used. The design, construction and installation of the septic tanks and field lines shall be in conformance with the standards and regulations of the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Health Department and subject to the approval of the Health Department.
