1/1 Reduction <br />The City's strategy for preventing excess 1/1 includes requiring all development to conform to City standards. Hugo requires sump pump and <br />private sewer disconnection during public sewer expansions, and requires suitable conditions of existing lines before a dry connection to the <br />public sewer system is made. Furthermore, the City clearly articulates that the discharge of any non -wastewater into the public sewer system, <br />especially stormwater, is prohibited. <br />Excerpts from the Hugo City Code that pertain to 1/1 reduction are included below: <br />Sec. 82-107. - Construction requirements. <br />(b) Approved materials <br />... No inter -connection of the existing private sewage disposal system shall remain upon connection to the public system. If a sewer <br />service connection is such that gravity flow can be had to the public sewer main and a sump pump is presently used, said sump <br />pump shall be disconnected, discontinued, and removed from sewer service. <br />(d) Existing lines and systems to be approved. Existing building service lines or systems may require replacement. Such <br />lines claimed to be in good condition and approved material shall be subject to an air test or other suitable tests approved by the <br />city engineer and/or plumbing inspector. Any system will be subject to retesting. Cost of testing shall be paid by the owner. Any <br />system failing to meet a satisfactory test shall be replaced or repaired to the satisfaction of the city engineer and/or city inspector. <br />HL 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 COMPREHENSIVE SANITARY A <br />SEWER PLAN <br />for review only <br />
