The City shall require all new development, at no cost to the City, to install sewage collection and reuse facilities and to connect those facilities to the City's system in accordance with City ordinances.

Policy SS-1.3

The City shall not allow the use of septic tanks for new development and work toward the elimination of any remaining septic tanks.

Policy SS-1.4

The City shall establish priorities for replacing facilities, correcting existing facility deficiencies and providing for future facility needs.

Policy SS-1.5

The City shall establish and utilize level-of-service (LOS) standards for sanitary sewer facilities. The current LOS is 118 gallons per capita per day (gpcd), excluding the flow from Port Canaveral. This is a satisfactory LOS; therefore, the present LOS of 118 gpcd is hereby adopted as the LOS standard for this component of the system.
