A. Compliance Required; Costs: All proposed extensions of the city sewerage system to serve undeveloped areas within the existing city boundaries, newly annexed areas or areas outside the city boundaries shall comply with the facility plan. Costs for all extensions which lie outside the boundary limits of the property for which the extension is requested shall be the responsibility of that property owner or said owner's agent. Cost for sewer extensions within the property for which the extension is requested shall also be the responsibility of the owner or said owner's agent. The city may, if it has uncommitted funds in its sewer construction account, participate in a portion of the cost of any oversized sewer lines. When it is necessary to install oversized lines as part of an extension, the cost of all oversized lines will normally be the responsibility of the owner or said owner's agent.
B. Construction; Design: Unless a special permit is granted by the city, all city sewerage system extensions into newly developing areas shall be installed prior to the construction of any new streets. All design and construction of any extensions to the city sewerage system shall comply with the official specifications for sewerage system extensions as adopted by the city.
C. Plans: The plans for all extensions to the sewerage system shall be prepared and signed by a registered professional engineer as per the licensing requirements of the Idaho Code. Three (3) copies of the said plans shall be filed with the city. Two (2) copies of the plans shall be filed with the Idaho department of health and welfare for their review and approval as required by the Idaho Code. In approving a plan for extension to the city sewerage system, the city reserves the right to stipulate other requirements such as a special permit fee, rights of way limits, sequence of construction, time limits for having existing service disrupted, the filing of a performance bond and other similar measures as may be required to protect the public. No work shall commence on any such extension of the city sewerage system until the extension project has been approved by the city.
D. Certification By Engineer; Acceptance By City: After the construction of any city sewer system extensions, it shall be the obligation of the owner, or said owner's agent, to have a registered professional engineer certify to the city and to the Idaho department of health and welfare that the said system extensions were installed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications on file with the respective agencies. Following certification by the registered professional engineer and acceptance by the city, the entire extension of the city sewerage system, including the city sewer service lines, shall become the property of the city, and it shall be the city's responsibility to maintain and operate the system thereafter.
E. Hookup Fees: If it is necessary for the city to permit a sewer service connection and/or sewer service line at any time after the extension has been originally accepted by the city, the owner or said owner's agent shall be required to pay the sewer hookup fee as well as the standard permit and inspection fees as may be established by the city for such purposes.
