F. Inspection and Approval of Sanitary Sewers
Where a public sanitary sewer system is located within 1,000 feet of a proposed subdivision or land development, the developer shall provide the subdivision or land development with a complete sanitary sewer system. If such a system is not available, but will, in the opinion of the Township, become available within a reasonable time, then the developer shall install a complete sanitary sewer system including a collector main installed in the street bed or approved right-of-way, lateral installations shall to the rights-of-way lines of streets, lot or parcel property lines or sewer easement rights- of-way lines, whichever pertains to individual situations. All termini shall be capped in a manner that will insure that all collector mains, laterals, and house connections shall be water tight pending connection with a public sanitary sewer system. The system shall be designed by a registered engineer and approved by the Township Engineer. The Township Engineer shall also inspect construction of all sanitary sewers to insure that said sewers will coordinate and have congruity with the Township's overall comprehensive sewer plans. All sewage pumping stations, interceptors and treatment plants to be installed by the developer shall be reviewed and approved by the Township Engineer, who shall also inspect the construction thereof.
(Ord. 97-7, 5/27/1997, § 12.30)
Design, approval, or design, supervision, and inspection fees for services rendered on behalf of the developer by the Township Engineer shall be paid by the developer in accordance with the fee schedule submitted to the Board by the Township Engineer, which schedule shall be available for review in the Township Office by any developer.

G. Payment for Connection to Sewer System
Section 507-A of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code requires a municipality to charge any tap-in, connection or other similar fee in accordance with The Municipality Authorities Act of 1945, as amended, which provides a uniform system available to all municipalities for the recovery of certain capital costs through the imposition of certain fees payable at the time connection is made to the sewer system. It is deemed to be in the public interest of the Township that future users of the Township's sanitary sewer system pay those fees authorized by the Municipality Authorities Act of 1945, as amended, as a means of connecting to the Township's sanitary sewer system.
