See the Norristown Stormwater Management Ordinance, Chapter 276, adopted by the Municipal Council on December 19, 2006, or later version.
1. 
Applicants shall provide a safe, reliable, and adequate water supply from public water service to support the intended uses approved as part of a development plan. When water is to be provided by means other than private wells owned and maintained by the individual owners of lots within a subdivision or land development, applicants shall present evidence to the Municipal Council that the subdivision or land development is to be supplied by the Norristown Authority. A copy of a certificate of public convenience from the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission or an application for such certificate, a cooperative agreement, or a commitment or agreement to serve the area in question, whichever is appropriate, shall be acceptable evidence.
2. 
Fire hydrants shall be located at accessible points throughout the subdivision and shall be located according to the Norristown Engineer. As a general rule, hydrants should be located at each street intersection and at intermediate points as recommended by the State Insurance Services Office. Generally, hydrant spacing may range from 350 to 600 feet, depending upon the area being serviced. The type and methods of construction to be employed in the installation of fire hydrants shall be in accordance with current state and local regulations.
3. 
Public water supply facilities design. The design for public water supply facilities shall be in accordance with the PADEP Water Supply Manual.
1. 
Wastewater from a subdivision or land development must be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner. All sanitary sewers shall be installed and connected to the municipal or authority sanitary sewer system following review of plans and approval by the PADEP and the Municipal Authority. In areas not presently served by central sanitary sewers, appropriate sewage disposal must be provided in accordance with the regulations of the PADEP, and in addition, the installation and capping of sanitary sewer mains and house connections may be required if studies by the Municipal Council indicate that extension of sanitary sewers to serve the property subdivided appears probable or necessary to protect public health. The PADEP and both Montgomery County and the Department of Health, as may be appropriate, shall approve the wastewater disposal systems.
2. 
Wastewater facilities design standards.
A. 
Sewage facilities. The type of sewage facilities developed for a particular site shall be based upon the recommendations of the Norristown Sewage Facilities Plan developed in accordance with Act 537.
B. 
Sewage facilities design. The design and installation of domestic sewage facilities shall be done in accordance with the Pennsylvania Domestic Wastewater Facilities Manual prepared by PADEP, as well as the Rules and Regulations of the Municipality of Norristown and the Municipal Authority.
C. 
On-site sewage facilities design. The design and installation of on-lot subsurface disposal systems shall be done in accordance with PA Title 25, Chapter 73, regulations and the Technical Manual for Sewage Enforcement Officers and under the direction and approval of Montgomery County and the Health Department.
1) 
The Sewage Enforcement Officer shall require percolation and deep-hole tests, as required by the DEP, in order to determine the size, extent, and nature of disposal facilities. Such tests shall be conducted for each lot proposed for building.
2) 
Existing on-lot sewage disposal systems that will remain in use shall be inspected and certified as to their satisfactory functioning, in accord with the Municipal Sewage Facilities Plan, Health Department, and DEP standards. Malfunctioning systems shall be replaced with systems designed and constructed to current standards.
3) 
After assuring that all requirements have been met, the Sewage Enforcement Officer shall issue a certificate of approval to Norristown as a requirement for final plan approval.
4) 
In no instance shall an on-lot septic system be located nearer to a drilled well than 100 feet.
D. 
Community sewage facilities. Sewage disposal for more than one lot on a shared basis, by means of community sewage facilities, may be permitted in compliance with PADEP regulations and the Norristown Sewage Facilities Plan.
Central trash storage and recyclable storage areas shall be developed as follows:
1. 
Design.
A. 
All trash collection equipment should be placed within enclosures. Enclosures should be at least large enough to adequately contain all trash and recyclable material containers. Generally, the sizing and type of storage containers will depend upon the amount of trash and recyclables expected to be generated in the buildings they service.
B. 
Enclosures should be six feet high or at least one foot higher than the proposed collection container.
C. 
Enclosures should be made of durable material, including masonry blocks or steel reinforced wood fencing. In most cases, garden-type fencing or landscaping is not durable enough.
D. 
The entrance to the enclosure should be at least 10 feet wide to accommodate front-loading trucks. Gates placed on the entrance should be durable and equipped with piston-type bolts to secure gates in both a closed and open position.
E. 
The trash storage area should be placed on a concrete pad. The dimensions of the pad are dependent on the number and size of proposed containers. Ideally, the pad should extend six to 10 feet in front of where the proposed container is to be placed to support the front wheels of the trash truck servicing the site. The area above the container should be free of obstructions. Generally, a fifteen-foot clearance above the storage area is sufficient.
2. 
Locations. In locating a trash storage area, several objectives should be balanced, including spatial demands, distance from source of trash generation, setback from adjoining property, and access for disposal trucks. Trash storage may be placed near building service entrances or loading docks. In apartment or condominium complexes with centralized waste storage, containers may be located in an area which is convenient to each grouping of 10 to 15 units. Spatial consideration (i.e., loss of parking area or loading space) is important. During the servicing of these containers (up to five minutes), it is important that internal circulation at the site is not impeded. Trash containers ideally should be within a building setback in a given zoning district. At a minimum, they should be set back in accordance with accessory structures.
3. 
Operations. Trash storage containers should be serviced at least once a week. Recycling containers can be serviced at a less-frequent interval. If a dumpster contains food, it should be serviced every three days. Storage containers should have tight-fitting lids, secured at all times, and be leak free. They should also be cleaned out at least two times a year.
