The Influence of Zoning on the Design of Public Utilities: A Symposium: The Relation of Zoning to the Design of Drainage and Sewerage Systems
The relation of zoning to drainage and sewerage is so obvious and direct that little need be said on the subject to convince one that an established zoning system facilitates design and favors economy.
Zoning, which may be assumed to be a product of city planning, if begun in time, may prevent low-lying land, subject to floods or troubled with high ground-water, from being occupied in a way that requires drainage, thus obviating sewers on excessively flat grades and, in many cases, also pumping. Flat grades and pumping result in high cost not only for construction, but also for maintenance and operation. If low-lying areas are permitted to be utilized for dwellings they. become as a rule low-grade property areas and, therefore, are unable to bear the heavy assessment required for a proper sewerage and drainage system.
