§ 46-74. Wastewater disposal.

(a)

Organized sewerage facilities.

(1)

Subdividers who propose the development of an organized wastewater collection and treatment system must obtain a permit to dispose of wastes from the TCEQ in accordance with 30 Tex. Admin. Code ch. 305 and obtain approval of engineering planning materials for such systems under 30 Tex. Admin. Code ch. 317 from the TCEQ.

(2)

Subdividers who propose to dispose of wastewater by connecting to an existing permitted facility must provide a written agreement in substantially the form attached to appendix 1B of the ordinance from which this article is derived and included in appendix B to this Code with the retail public utility. The agreement must provide that the retail public utility has or will have the ability to treat the total flow anticipated from the ultimate development and occupancy of the proposed subdivision for a minimum of 30 years. The agreement must reflect that the subdivider has paid the cost of all fees associated with connection to the wastewater collection and treatment system so that service is immediately available to each lot. Engineering plans for the proposed wastewater collection lines must comply with 30 Tex. Admin. Code ch. 317. Figure: 31 Tex. Admin. Code § 364.33(a)(2).

(b)

On-site sewage facilities.

(1)

On-site facilities that serve single-family or multifamily residential dwellings with anticipated wastewater generations of no greater than 5,000 gallons per day must be designed by a registered professional engineer or registered professional sanitarian, permitted by the authorized agent of the TCEQ, and in all respects comply with 30 Tex. Admin. Code ch. 285.

(2)

Proposals for on-site sewerage facilities for the on-site disposal of sewage in the amount of 5,000 gallons per day or greater must comply with 30 Tex. Admin. Code ch. 317.

(3)

The TCEQ or its authorized agent shall review proposals for on-site sewage disposal systems and make inspections of such systems as necessary to ensure that the system is in compliance with the V.T.C.A., Health and Safety Code ch. 366 and rules in 30 Tex. Admin. Code ch. 285, and in particular Tex. Admin. Code §§ 285.4, 285.5 and 285.30—285.39. In addition to the unsatisfactory on-site disposal systems listed in 30 Tex. Admin. Code § 285.3(b), pit privies and portable toilets are not acceptable waste disposal systems for lots platted under these rules.
