A. The study shall include the distance from the nearest public sewer and public water to accommodate the proposed land development.
B. If the above method of sewage disposal is found to be feasible, formal application shall be made to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection, for module approval prior to the construction of sewers or treatment facilities.

(1) Justification of the project necessitates consideration of this method.
(2) The water supply yield is adequate for the type of development proposed.
