A fundamental duty of every government is the protection of the health and safety of its citizens and to thereby promote the public welfare. Consequently, the Governing Body of the City of Olathe hereby finds, determines and declares that it is necessary to adopt a uniform system of rules, regulations and standards to eliminate and prevent certain environmental conditions that are hazardous to the public health, safety and welfare. Specifically, the City of Olathe finds that the excessive inflow and infiltration of stormwater from any source, private or public, into the sewage system is a hazard to the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of this City and surrounding communities because such infiltration and inflow overloads the capacity of both sanitary sewer lines and treatment plants. (Ord. 90-14 § 1, 1990.)
