16-302 : Storm drainage.
An adequate drainage system, including storm sewers, necessary open ditches, pipes, culverts, intersectional drains, open inlets, bridges, etc., shall be provided for the proper drainage of all surface water. Cross drains shall be provided to accommodate all natural water flow, and shall be of sufficient length to permit full width roadway, and the required slopes. The size openings to be provided shall be determined by Talbot's formula, but in no case shall the pipe be less than eighteen inches (18"). Cross drains shall be built on straight line and grade, and shall be laid on a firm base but not on rock. Pipes shall be laid with spigot end pointing in the direction of the flow and with the ends fitted and matched to provide tight joints and a smooth uniform invert. They shall be placed at a sufficient depth below the road bed to avoid dangerous pressure of impact, and in no case shall the top of the pipe be less than one foot (1') below the road bed.
