A. Compliance With Master Plan: All proposed extensions of the municipal sewerage system to serve undeveloped areas within the existing corporate limits, newly annexed areas or areas outside the corporate limits shall comply with the overall master plan for the municipal sewerage system.

Owner Responsible For Costs; Exception: Costs for all extensions which lie outside the boundary limits of the property for which the extension is requested shall be the responsibility of that property owner or his agent. Cost for sewer extensions within the property for which the extension is requested shall also be the responsibility of the owner or his agent. Sewer extensions shall be required to extend to the farthest boundary of the development. When it is necessary to install oversized lines as part of an extension, the cost of all oversized lines will normally be the responsibility of the owner or his agent. However, the city may, in its discretion, if it has uncommitted funds in its sewer construction account, participate in a portion of the cost of any oversized sewer lines.

E. Preparation And Filing Of Plans: The plans for all extensions to the sewerage system shall be prepared as per the licensing requirements of Idaho Code. Three (3) copies of the said plans shall be filed with the city. Two (2) copies of the plans shall be filed with the state department of environmental quality for their review and approval as required by Idaho Code. In approving a plan for extension to the municipal sewerage system, the city reserves the right to stipulate other requirements such as a special permit fee, rights of way limits, sequence of construction, time limits for having existing service disrupted, the filing of a performance bond and other similar measures as may be required to protect the public. No work shall commence on any such extension of the municipal sewerage system until the extension project has been approved by the city.
F. Certification By Registered Engineer: After the construction of any municipal sewer system extensions, it shall be the obligation of the owner, or his agent, to have a registered professional engineer certify to the city and to the state department of health and welfare that the said system extensions were installed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications on file with the respective agencies. Following certification by the registered professional engineer and acceptance by the city, the entire extension of the municipal sewerage system, including the city sewer service lines, shall become the property of the city and it shall be the city's responsibility to maintain and operate the system thereafter.
G. Connections Made After Extension Accepted: If it is necessary for the city to permit a sewer service connection and/or sewer service line at any time after the extension has been originally accepted by the city, the owner or his agent shall be required to pay the sewer availability fee as well as the standard permit and inspection fees as may be established by the city for such purposes.
