The provisions of Articles I through VII, inclusive, of this
chapter shall not apply to a sanitary district, county water district,
community-service district, public utility district, or any other
district, municipality, or state agency empowered by the state law
to acquire, construct, or operate public sewage facilities (hereafter
in this article referred to as public agencies), except to the extent
that the governing body thereof specifically subjects itself or its
works thereto.
(Prior code § 68.180)
For the protection of the public health and safety, minimum
standards for the design and construction of facilities hereafter
constructed by a public agency for the transporting or disposal of
sewage or industrial waste (hereafter in this article referred to
as sewer facilities) shall be established in the following manner:
The director, with the advice and assistance of engineers for such
public agencies and others designated by the director, shall propose
such minimum standards to the city council for adoption by it after
public hearing. Any revisions shall be proposed and adopted in the
same manner. The said standards adopted pursuant to this section are
set forth in the San Diego Area Regional County Standard Drawings
and the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, copies
of which are on file in the office of the city clerk. All plans and
specifications for any sewer facilities constructed in the city and
all work performed and materials used in the construction of any such
facilities shall conform to the minimum standards adopted as provided
in this section. No work shall be done on any such sewer facility
until the plans and specifications therefor have been approved, as
provided in this article.
(Prior code § 68.181)
It shall be the responsibility of each public agency to establish standards for sewage facilities constructed by others for acceptance by the agency, which standards must not be lower than those established pursuant to Section
13.12.360. It shall be the responsibility of each agency to inspect all such construction and to cause the same to so conform.
