3.0    Construction or Alteration of Stormwater Systems

3.1      On Site Disposal

1. In general all stormwater generated by developments within a premises boundary shall be disposed of on that site.
2. Connection to a public drain may be approved at the discretion of Council where there is sufficient capacity in the public stormwater system.  Connection may be subject to the provision of detention capacity on the premises.
   It should be noted there is no spare capacity in the stormwater system throughout much of the district and especially throughout Matamata and in much of Morrinsville.
3. If onsite soakage is not viable or discharge to a public system is not approved, an alternative method of disposal must be submitted to Council for approval, prior to subdivision and/or building construction
