§ 52.048 ADDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE PROCEDURES FOR SEWER EXTENSIONS.
   In addition to satisfying the requirements of §§ 52.065 through 52.070 for its sewer system, an applicant for sewer extensions shall be subject to the following additional provisions:
   (A)   At the request of the applicant, and as time allows, the District shall provide manpower to acquire rights-of-way at all of the applicant’s sewer line locations that coincide with the District sewer jurisdiction and master plan. Prior to purchase of the rights-of-way, the applicant shall pay all costs associated with the acquisition, including personnel, legal and property owner compensation costs, etc.
   (B)   The applicant shall pay all costs involved in constructing the extension, including but not limited to trunk sewer lines, force mains, sewer laterals and right-of-way acquisitions.
   (C)   When sufficient District funds are available, the District may require the applicant to construct a proposed trunk extension, sewer laterals, force main extension, pump station, outfall extension, treatment plant or other improvement at a size greater than otherwise required by District minimum requirements. In such cases, the District shall reimburse the applicant for the installation cost difference between the facilities required by the District and the otherwise applicable minimum requirements. District reimbursement shall be by one of the following methods, at the option of the District:
      (1)   Cash payment to the applicant, with payment occurring on the date that the improvement was scheduled to be constructed by the District; or
      (2)   In the case of outfall extensions, or collection lines with excess capacity, assignment by the District to the applicant of the District’s rights to future sewer connection fees from adjoining property owners served by applicant’s oversized sewer improvements.
   (D)   Upon request by the applicant and where practical and legal, an extension may be included in the District’s construction as a change order. In such cases, the applicant shall pay the District for all acquisition, design and construction costs prior to the commencement of construction.
   (E)   The District will design and construct sewer lines as part of the master plan for all habitable structures which are occupied on the date that the design field survey is completed in that particular area; provided that the Board may waive service to some structures as provided by § 52.015.
   (F)   Service lines for structures occupied after the date described in division (E) shall be constructed at the applicant’s cost in accordance with § 52.047.
   (G)   The applicant shall submit any required special agreements for sewer extensions to the District’s attorney for approval. Any permit to make any such extension or connection shall not be transferable and shall be limited to the time stated in the permit.
