All systems are inspected by City staff as they are constructed to ensure that the systems meet the City's specificat/ons. B.

C. Surface Water I I ~]~is development has the potential to increase 100-year flood levels and surface water runoff due to the increased development and and increase in impervious surfaces. Along with this, there is concern regarding the quality of the water in the increased runoff. I ~he City's develoIm~_nt require all new develoImm, nts make ~ontrols that provisions for their own storm water drainage and retention on the site so that adjacent existing developments are not adversely affected.
