§ 20.32.520. House laterals—Depth.

A.

The depth of house laterals at the property line shall be sufficient to provide service to the lowest or farthest point to be served on the lot at a minimum grade of two percent, with the top of the pipe not less than one foot below the ground surface at any point.

B.

The minimum depth for house laterals at the property line shall be six feet below the curb grade or the centerline of street or alley grade, except as set forth in Section 20.32.500 for locations where groundwater is present.

C.

Where street-widening lines have been established by the Zoning Ordinance, as set out at Title 22 of this code, the minimum depth shall be measured at such established line. If house laterals are constructed before the existing street is widened, the depth at the property line shall be such that extension at the same straight grade and alignment to the new property line will produce the required depth.
