gas, electrical and water systems are located, elevated and constructed
to minimize or eliminate flood damage.
C.

to flood hazards.
The Building Inspector or Commissioner of Public
Works shall require new or replacement water supply systems and/or
sanitary sewage systems to be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration
of floodwaters into the systems and discharges from the systems into
floodwaters and require on-site waste disposal systems to be located
so as to avoid impairment of them or contamination from them during
flooding.
Any designs or plans required under the foregoing
provisions shall be certified by a licensed engineer or architect
to the Town of Wallkill.
