(1) It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to ensure that the private drainage generated within the private property is adequately handled and does not create a nuisance on neighboring properties, by one (1), or any combination, of the following methods:
(a) Private drainage may be conveyed to a public drainage facility at a location and by any means approved by the Public Works Director or the Director’s designee.
(b) Private drainage may be conveyed to a private drainage facility provided that written consent to do so is obtained from the owner of the private facility.
(c) Private drainage may be retained on site by dispersing it in a manner that it is absorbed into the landscape as long as such retention system is not restricted by Section 15.05.170, Provo City Code.
(2) Approval from the Public Works Director or the Director’s designee must be obtained prior to the subsurface discharge of any private drainage. A soils report may be required, at the discretion of the Public Works Director or the Director’s designee as part of the subsurface discharge approval. The soils report shall conform to the guidelines as set forth in the publications listed in Section 18.03.020, Provo City Code.

(4) Gutters Fronting Private Property. It shall be the responsibility of the owner, tenant, or leases of property to clean, sweep, or otherwise remove and properly dispose of debris from the gutter, or other drainage-way, that fronts or runs contiguous to said property.
