In new subdivisions or developments where sanitary sewer system extensions are authorized by the town and constructed at the developer’s expense, the town may authorize the developer, or his or her agent, if he or she so desires, to install sewer taps with wyes or tees and extend the lateral sewer to the right-of- way line, or connect the lateral sewer to the building sewer, under the following conditions:
(A) The design and construction of the sanitary sewer system lines, sewer taps and connections of the lateral sewer to the sewer tap shall be under the supervision of a registered civil engineer holding registration in the State of Arizona, who shall submit “as-built” plans to the Public Works Department bearing the engineer’s signed and dated registration seal. It shall be the duty of the developer to require that all sewer taps serving lots in the development, upon which no buildings are initially constructed, to be effectively sealed until such time as buildings will be constructed on the lots. The service connections shall be inspected and approved by the Public Works Department before being backfilled and shall be designated and accurately located on the as-built plans with stations from manholes. The effective seal shall consist of a watertight cap placed on the cleanout located at the right-of-way line.
(B) Before any building sewer construction is commenced, plumbing permits must be obtained by the developer or his or her agent from the Building Department.
(C) When the “as-built” plans are submitted, the Public Works Director will make a record of the sewer taps.
(D) The town will collect the appropriate fee for initial plan review, inspection and “as built” plan review as required by the Town Code.
