KCC §25-7.4

When the county takes over subdivision sewers

Read the official text at ecode360.com ↗

This section says that if a subdivider builds sewers the county engineer approves, the county takes ownership of them. Before that happens, the subdivider must give the county cost paperwork, permanent access rights, and land for pump stations or treatment plants. The subdivider must also pay all county bills and finish the sewers or post a bond.
