General Standards. In all areas of special flood hazards the following provisions are required for all new construction and substantial improvements:

All new construction or substantial improvements shall be constructed with electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, and air conditioning equipment and other service facilities that are designed and/or located so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding.

E. All new and replacement water supply systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the system;
