Unless approved otherwise by City Council, new developments and/or sewer extensions to serve existing lots, are required to extend sewer services to that development at the owner's expense in accordance with City Ordinance Chapter 51: Water and Sewers. Sewer lines shall be extended to each property to be served by City of Fayetteville sewer. Sewer service lines shall extend perpendicular to the sewer main and extended to the property being served. Sewer service lines will not cross property lines. City Council approved cost share projects, including defined infill projects, and/or oversizing of mains, may be further considered in accordance with City Council guidance or policy and similar to Section 1100 paragraph 1.05 in accordance with City Ordinance Chapter 51: Water and Sewers, or as requested by the City Council. Construction of off-site extensions will be at the expense of the developer, subject to "rough proportionality" as further noted in Chapter 155 of the City of Fayetteville Unified Development Code. B. Connection to a public sewer system shall be as required, or permitted, by City of Fayetteville Ordinances and ADH regulations. 1.02 DESIGN CRITERIA A. GENERAL All sanitary sewers shall be designed to carry the estimated flow from the area ultimately contributing to the respective reach of the sanitary sewer. The required capacity shall either be established by the City or at the City's option by means of a basin study developed by the Owner or his authorized engineer/designer. In no instance shall a -gravity sewer, other than a building sewer, be less than eight (8) inches in diameter. The following design standards for gravity sewers within or contributing to the City of Fayetteville Sanitary Sewer System have been established: Population Density Population density shall be in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan for Fayetteville projected by the Division of Planning for the City of Fayetteville or actual count or character of proposed development, whichever is greatest. 2002_Design_Sewer 2. Average Family For the purposes of design the average family unit is considered to be 3.0 persons per single family home. Desigii Flow The design of all sanitary sewer facilities shall be based on future area population growth and land development characteristics and figures provided by the Department of Planning including the servicing of existing contiguous developed areas not currently served by sanitary sewers. The values of Average and Peak Flow and Design Population hereby shall be the values which include the future flows and population. The City reserves the right to review and determine the appropriateness and/or applicability of the estimated flow volumes provided. The following shall be used as a guide: a. Average Design Flows: 1) Single Family Residential: The average design flow for single family dwellings shall be one hundred (100) gallons per person per day. 2) Multifamily/Commercial/Industrial/Institutional: Based upon Table 1 Section 2002-1.10 within these specifications unless modified by technical information either submitted by the Owner and approved by the City, or developed by the City. These flow volume guidelines may be modified at the City's discretion as project location specific. b. Peak Design Flow 1) Single Family and Multifamily Residential: The peak design flow for a single family development shall be calculated as follows: Peak Flow = (Avg. Flow)18 + P] 4+-� Where P is equal to the total Design Population in thousands. 2) Commercial/Industrial/Institutional: The peak design flow from commercial, industrial or institutional developments shall be the average daily flow determined multiplied by 2.5. The peak design flow shall not be less than 90% of the peak water demand or exceed the flow limits of the water meter supplying the facility. 2002_Design_Sewer 2 C. Inflow and Infiltration 1) When requested by the City, the design engineer will also utilize current City Masterplan(s) and/or SSES Studies. 4. Design Capacities: Collector and trunk sewers shall be designed on the following basis: a. Collector Sewers Twelve (12) Inches and Smaller Peak design flow capacities shall be based on sewers flowing two-thirds (2/3) full. b. Trunk Sewers Fifteen (15) Inches and Larger Peak design flow capacities for trunk or interceptor sewers shall be based on sewers flowing 90% full, without head, using the design population density and appropriate land use determined by the Division of Planning; and shall include an allowance for infiltration which will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and is subject to the approval of the City. B. SEWER COMPREHENSIVE STUDY REQUIREMENTS A study/engineering report of the applicable sewerage drainage basin(s) is required. This study may include in addition to the proposed project or development, the upstream and downstream basins and existing or proposed lift/pump stations. The size and location of the project will determine the information required in the study/engineering report for the proposed project. If requested by the designated City Engineer, the Engineer of Record (EOR) shall provide- a detailed analysis and PE sealed report including: The proposed design The effects of the proposed project, and coordination with any required improvements, to existing sewer facilities including pipe lines and existing or proposed lift/pump stations. The designated City engineer shall coordinate between the EOR and the City's waste water operations contractor. Other as determined by the designated City engineer. 2002_Design_Sewer 3 1.03 MINIMUM PIPE SIZES AND STANDARDS A.
