    1. When a development is located outside the corporate limits of the City, but sewer facilities are available or are made available at the boundary of the development within 1 year after approval, the developer shall connect to the City sewer system and install all sewer lines required to provide sewer service to every lot within the development, unless:
      1. Grades are such that the sewer facilities would not be of service to the development; or
      2. There is insufficient off-site sewer capacity to serve the development.
    2. If a connection is made, the developer shall extend sewer lines to the periphery of the development unless otherwise approved by the Raleigh Public Utilities Director.
  3. Crossing a CM District or Protective Yard
    1. Sewer lines that traverse a CM District or a protective yard for a distance of at least 50 feet or more shall be built with a bend to prevent direct sight view through the district or protective yard provided that such bend does not
      exceed a 90-degree angle.
    2. All sewer lines 12 inches or less within a CM District or a protective yard shall be constructed of ductile iron.
    3. The requirement of a bend within a CM District or a protective yard may be waived or modified by the Raleigh Public Utilities Director where the gradient will not permit gravity flow or where the CM District or a protective yard fails to contain a vegetative screen.

Development located outside the corporate limits of the City but within the extra-territorial jurisdictional area of Raleigh and located within the utility service area as shown on Map PU-1 of the Raleigh 2030 Comprehensive Plan, developers that install or propose to install community sanitary sewer system must install the system in accordance with the City design, materials and construction standards and methods.
    2. The design, materials and construction standards and methods are subject to the same regulations as if the community sewer system was connected to the system of the City of Raleigh.
