§ 6.04.030. Permit to connect  


Latest version.
  • A storm drainage connection permit is required to develop or redevelop any parcel, property, and/or structure within the district's boundary. Permits will be issued by the district upon proper application at the district's office and upon payment of all appropriate fees. Evidence of all necessary rights and easements to properly convey flows to the district's facilities shall be presented prior to obtaining a permit. A storm drain connection permit shall be considered a storm drain encroachment permit when district resolutions, rules and ordinances require such a permit. All connections to district facilities shall be performed by individuals or firms holding a valid A or C-42 license issued by the California Contractors State License Board. The district shall have the discretion to specify the point of connection to the district's systems.

    A permit to connect to the public storm drainage system shall be valid for one year from the date of issuance. The storm drainage permit shall become null and void if the permittee has not, prior to the end of the one-year period, connected to the storm drainage system or begun construction or obtained an extension of the period to connect prior to the end of the period during which the permit is valid. All extensions of permits shall be valid for a period which shall not exceed one year from the date of the extension.

    The permittee may request either an extension of time in which to comply or a refund of the connection fees paid, except that the fees associated with plan review, application, and inspection in accordance with Sections 6.04.140 and 6.04.150 of this chapter shall not be refunded.
