(A) General. The applicant shall install sanitary sewer facilities in a manner prescribed by the local government construction standards as approved by the Town Engineer. All plans shall be designed, and sewer facilities (including laterals in the right-of-way) installed, subject to the specifications, rules, regulations, and guidelines of the Town Engineer and appropriate health and other officials. Where conditions exist that would require a sewer size larger than what is normally required for a particular size subdivision, the town shall bear the additional cost between what would normally be required for the subdivision and the oversized facility.
(B) High-density residential and nonresidential districts. Sanitary sewer facilities shall connect with public sanitary sewer systems. Sewers shall be installed to serve each lot and to grades and sizes required by appropriate local officials and agencies. No individual disposal system or treatment plants (private or group disposal systems) shall be permitted.
(C) Low and medium-density residential districts. Sanitary sewer systems shall be constructed as follows:
(1) Where a public sanitary sewer system is reasonably accessible (as determined by the Plan Commission) the applicant shall connect with same and provide sewers to each lot in the subdivision.
(2) Where public sanitary sewer systems are not reasonably accessible but will become available within a reasonable time not to exceed 15 years, the applicant may choose to install a central sewerage system with the maintenance cost to be assessed against each property benefited. Where plans for future public sanitary sewer systems exist, the applicant shall install the sewer lines, laterals, and mains in conformance with the plans and ready for connection to the fixture sewer mains.
(3) Where sanitary sewer systems are not reasonably accessible and will not become available within an estimated 15-year period, the applicant may install a central sewerage system. No individual disposal system will be permitted. The Commission may however, where plans exist for a public sewer system to be built beyond a period of 15 years, require that the applicant install all sewer lines, laterals, and mains in conformance with the plans and ready for connection to the public sewer mains.
(D) Mandatory connections to public sewers. If a public sanitary sewer is accessible and a sanitary sewer is placed in a street or alley abutting upon a property, the owner thereof shall be required to connect to the sewer for the purpose of disposing of waste. It shall be unlawful for any owner or occupant to maintain upon the property an individual sewage disposal system.
