§ 33-7.2.5. Extension/oversizing.  


Latest version.
  • Water mains shall be a minimum of eight (8) inches in diameter unless otherwise approved by the engineering director. The parish council may require that water mains be oversized and be phased in coordination with the pace of new development to ensure the development will be adequately served by community facilities and services. The subdivider shall be required to provide water systems with adequate capacity to serve the subdivision. Water systems shall be extended to the boundaries of the subdivision when required to facilitate future extensions of such systems. When oversizing of a water main in excess of the design standards of these regulations is required by the parish council to facilitate system expansion, the parish may provide for reimbursement of excess construction costs.
