Chico Municipal Code Ch. 15.04 Storm Drainage

Except as hereinafter provided in this chapter, all rainwater, storm drainage or other water which is not required to be conveyed to the city's sanitary sewer system or a private sewage disposal system pursuant to this code shall be conveyed to the city's storm drainage system or drainage channel.

(Ord. 1604 §2 (part))

Where the public works director determines that storm drainage cannot be conveyed to the city's storm drainage system or drainage channel because facilities are not available, the director may authorize installation of a temporary leachfield- type storm drainage system, in accordance with the design criteria adopted by resolution of the city council, provided that the property owner(s) shall also install all drainage facilities necessary to make connection to the city's storm drainage facilities or drainage channel when said facilities are available. Any other type of disposal system, such as drainage wells, shall be prohibited.
