(a) Subdividers shall install and pay for storage tanks, appurtenances,
and pipeline from the tank site to the subdivision proper in accordance
with the department of water supply standards or as approved by the
director. Storage tanks with a capacity of 100,000 gallons and over
shall be of concrete construction. Storage tanks with a capacity of
less than 100,000 gallons may be of wooden, steel, concrete, or other
material as approved by the director.
(1) Residential, hotel, apartment, business, industrial, airport,
and commercial districts. Storage capacity required shall be
determined on the basis of fire flow duration, maximum daily
flow, or 1,000 gallons per lot, whichever of these quantities is
greater; provided that the requirement may be modified by the
director, subject to approval by the board.
(2) Rural and agricultural districts. Storage capacity requirement
shall be determined on the basis of 1,000 gallons per lot for
rural and 2,000 gallons for agricultural districts.
(b) Tank site lots, access road, and pipeline easements shall be dedicated
to the board of water supply before final subdivision approval.
(c) Whenever the subdivider is required to install a reservoir, together
with appurtenances of greater capacity than is necessary to serve his
subdivision, the department shall make a lump sum reimbursement to the
subdivider of the difference in cost, excluding the cost of
appurtenances, of such larger reservoir and the reservoir that would
otherwise have been required; provided, however, that no reimbursement
shall be made where such larger reservoir shall serve only areas of
land under the same ownership as the subdivision in question.
(d) [Where it is determined by the director that the subdivision does not
warrant separate storage facilities or if the storage facilities are
already available, the subdivider shall be assessed by the board for
future storage. Any such storage assessment shall be in an amount as
provided for in the rates and fees of the department of water supply
on file with the director.] Deleted 12/18/92.
(e) [Storage assessment funds may be used for any public reservoir related
construction or maintenance within the county of Maui.] Deleted 12/18/92.
