(a) Before any person, other than a representative of the Water and Sewers Department, installs a water service pipe or sanitary sewer service, he or she shall schedule an inspection at least 24 hours in advance of the time that he or she intends to do so. He or she shall cover the inspection cost from the building to the stop box or sewer riser and such expense shall be in addition to the established tapping fee. Failure to schedule an inspection 24 hours in advance will result in a second inspection fee being charged.
(b) An inspection fee as set forth in Chapter 209 of these Codified Ordinances (the General Fee Schedule) shall be charged for inspection of the tapping of a sewer service pipe to a public sewer. No such tap shall be made without a permit and payment of such fee.
(c) In addition to the sewer inspection fee provided for in subsection (b) hereof, the Township shall charge the applicant and the applicant shall pay a Sewer System Development Fee (SSDF).
(d) No sewer service permit will be issued for sewer service connections crossing roads or highway rights-of-way unless satisfactory evidence of a cash deposit or bond, placed with the Road Commission of Macomb County or MDOT, is submitted to the Department. The release of this cash deposit or bond, back to the person who placed it, is conditioned upon the applicant’s agreement to restore said road or highway to its original condition.
