§ 50-71. Soil borings and tests.  


Latest version.
  • The plan commission, upon the recommendation of the village engineer/DPW director, may require that borings and soundings be made in specified areas to ascertain subsurface soil, rock and water conditions, including depth to bedrock and depth to groundwater table, in order to determine the suitability of specific areas for the construction of buildings and supporting roadways. The number of such borings and soundings shall be adequate to portray for the intended purpose the characteristics of the soil and the depths to bedrock and groundwater from the undisturbed surface. The village does not guarantee, warrant or represent that only those soils tested and shown to be unsuited for specific uses are the only unsuited soils within the village and thereby asserts that there is no liability on the part of the village board, its agencies or employees for sanitation problems or structural damages that may occur as a result of reliance upon, and conformance with, this chapter.
