1. The developer shall provide the most effective type of sanitary sewage disposal consistent with the Township's official plan for sewage facilities prepared in accordance with the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (Act 537) and Chapter 71 of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources Regulations.
2. Connection to a public sanitary sewer system shall be required where such a system is proposed by the Township's official plan for sewage facilities, can feasibly be provided to the proposed subdivision tract, and where such a system can adequately fulfill the sewage disposal needs of the subdivision or land development.
3. Where a public sanitary sewer system is not yet accessible to the site but is planned for extension within a 5 year period, the developer shall install sanitary sewer lines within the subdivision boundary to the point where the future connection to a public sewer system will be made. Lateral connections shall be constructed for all lots. Connections shall be available in the structures so as to allow the switch from the use of the on-lot systems to the public system. Such sewer systems shall be capped until ready for use. On-lot disposal facilities shall be provided for interim use. Required lot sizes for on-lot disposal systems shall be provided.
4. Where a private centralized sanitary sewer system is proposed by the developer, the Township Council may revise the official plan for sewage facilities, by resolution indicating that the Township has approved the system concept.
5. In subdivision/land developments where neither connection to a public sewage system nor a private centralized sewage system is contemplated, on-lot sewage disposal systems shall be provided in accordance with the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act, Chapter 73 of DER Regulations and the requirements of the Township Sewage Enforcement Officer.
6. Sanitary sewerage systems shall be located and/or designed to minimize flood damage and to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the system or discharges from the system into flood waters.
7. On-lot sewage disposal systems shall be located and/or designed to avoid impairment to them or contamination from them during flooding.
