The water main extension policy of the town for town water mains and the policy to be followed in connection therewith shall be, and the same is hereby declared to be as follows:
(A) Developers must pay all costs for constructing mains of the sizes as to afford adequate service during peak demands.
(B) The minimum water requirements will be three gallons per minute per service with a minimum residual pressure of 40 pounds per square inch at the meter.
(C) The Public Works Director will approve the developer's required size and lay-out of public water mains that will meet both domestic water needs and fire flow requirements as required by this code.
(D) The Town Engineer will not perform field engineering nor submit detailed plans and specifications for any developer. This work is to be performed by a civil engineer registered in the state and employed by the developer. Before construction begins, final detailed plans and specifications for the water main extensions in the development must be approved by the Public Works Department. The cost of staking the location of the new water mains and the cost of inspecting the construction shall be assumed by the developer. The town will perform the inspections during construction.
(E) Where booster pumps are necessary to maintain adequate pressures in the mains due to the development being near or above the hydraulic gradient of the distribution system of the town service area, the developer shall construct at his or her own expense the necessary booster pumping station and storage facilities to town specifications. The town will assume ownership, maintenance and operation of the booster pump installation upon its completion and acceptance by the town.
