(B) Before construction of a private sewage disposal system within the town may begin, the owner shall first obtain a written permit furnished and signed by the town or appropriate county agent. A permit for operation of a private sewage disposal system shall not become effective until the installation is completed to the satisfaction of the town or county inspector, as appropriate.
(C) The appropriate town or county agency shall be allowed to inspect the work at any stage of construction, and, in any event, the applicant for the permit shall notify the property agency when the work is ready for final inspection, and before any underground portions are covered.
(D) A permit and inspection fee shall be paid to the town or appropriate county agency at the time the application is filed.
(E) On-site wastewater treatment systems may be allowed, at the town’s discretion, in areas beyond the 10-year limits of the town’s main extension plan as detailed in the capital improvement plan. The design, construction and operation of any such system shall be at the sole expense of the developer. At such time as the town’s collection lines are extended to the subject development, the developer shall connect to the town’s line, pay the appropriate buy-in fee and close the system in accordance with ADEQ procedures, all at the developer’s sole expense.
