Section 19-170-174 - Drainage, water, sewers, and utilities(a) Drainage, water and sewer systems, and utility lines, including but not limited to those required for electric, communications, and street lighting, necessary for the general use of the occupants in the subdivision shall be installed by the subdivider.(b) Utilities shall generally be located in accordance with the standards and requirements of each agency. The location of utilities shall not be contrary to any location provided by the development plan. If the location for any of the utilities, such as sewers, storm drains, water and gas pipes, electric and telephone lines and conduits, which are likely to be required within a subdivision, either for the service thereof or for the service to the surrounding areas, do not lie wholly within the street right-of-way, the executive officer, upon consultation with the chief engineer, wastewater management director and manager, may require the location of such utilities on routes elsewhere than within said street right-of-way. The subdivider shall designate the required area or areas for all such utility locations and shall deliver proper easements for them.(c) Adequate width shall be provided for easements for sewers, storm drains, water, public utilities, and government-owned facilities as required by the chief engineer, wastewater management director or manager, as appropriate. Easements for all government-owned utilities except those under the jurisdiction of the board of water supply, shall be conveyed to the development corporation and documents with supporting materials, such as maps, search of title or lien letter, transfer certificate of title, releases, consents, or other materials, as may be required, shall be delivered to the development corporation for acceptance. Easements for water facilities shall be conveyed for the use of the board of water supply and documents with all supporting materials shall be delivered to the board of water supply for acceptance. Whenever it is determined that future easements are necessary, the future easements shall be designated on the final map indicating that the development corporation or the City may accept such easements at any time. The location of all easements shall generally border the boundaries of lots. Easements traversing a lot shall not be allowed except when approved by the executive officer.Haw. Code R. § 19-170-174
