Iowa Admin. Code r. 199-21.18 - Standards of quality of storm water drainage service
(1)
Design and maintenance.
Systems for storm water drainage by piped collection shall be designed and
maintained in conformance with good engineering practices. Such systems shall
be designed and maintained so as to minimize flooding and ponding outside of
areas designed to retain storm water and to reasonably provide for the drainage
of normally anticipated rainfall events.
(2)
Inspection. Storm water
drainage systems shall be inspected on a routine basis to identify and correct
the blockage or obstruction of intake structures. The frequency of such
inspections shall be based upon the utility's experience and be pursuant to
tariffs approved by the board.
(3)
Connections. Utilities providing piped storm water drainage
shall control the installation and maintenance of the piped connection up to
and including all storm water intakes. Connections shall be adequate to receive
all storm water drainage from properties upgradient of the storm water drainage
connection unless other upgradient connections are provided. Connections shall
be pursuant to tariffs approved by the board.
(4)
Rates. Rates for storm
water drainage service provided by a utility may be based upon the acreage
drained, or by some other method pursuant to tariffs approved by the
board.
(5)
Separate
class. Storm water drainage service shall be considered a separate
class of service for ratemaking purposes.
