(a) Generally. Upon written application, the director may permit construction of permanent sanitary sewer systems for sewer service where no existing sewer is available. The sewer will be constructed at the sole expense and cost of the applicant within streets, avenues, alleys and rights-of-way pursuant to grants of easements and subject to approval of the director. The applicant will be required to construct all on-site and off-site facilities large enough to provide service to his development, and in no case shall a line be less than eight (8) inches in internal diameter.
(b) Permits for Construction; Inspections; Title to Sewer. Plans for construction will be provided by the applicant, certified by a registered professional engineer and the director. The construction of sewer facilities authorized by the permit will be inspected by the director or his authorized representative. An inspection fee shall be charged. The inspection fee will be computed to be two and five-tenths (2.5) percent of the value of the proposed construction. Upon completion of the sewers and acceptance by the director, title to such sewers shall be transferred to the city.
(c) Agreement for Construction. With each application for a permit for the construction of sewers authorized by this section, the applicant shall execute and deliver to the director, in duplicate, the agreement for the construction thereof by private contract. If the proposed construction is approved and the agreement otherwise conforms with the provisions of this chapter, it shall be the duty of the director to approve the agreement, for and on behalf of the city, and issue the permit in accordance therewith.
