(a) All plans for trunk sewerage and appurtenances thereto, to be installed outside the area being developed by the applicant (i.e. off-site sewers) to be constructed by the applicant, shall be designed and prepared by engineers retained or approved by the City of Carmel. All easements shall be made out to the City of Carmel and shall be obtained by and, if necessary, paid for by the owners of real estate, and shall be obtained prior to engineering design of the project. Easements shall be in a form approved by the City.
(b) The owners of real estate applying for trunk sewer service shall deposit, with the City of Carmel, adequate funds to pay for appurtenant non- construction costs prior to the City proceeding with preparation of plans and specifications. If the project does not proceed to completion after projected costs are established, monies so deposited by the owners of real estate shall be non-refundable and will be used to pay incurred expenses. If funds are in excess of expenses, the excess will be returned to the owners of real estate making the deposit or their successors. If the project progresses to completion, the deposit will be credited to the total project cost.
