(A) Extensions of HRW's water or sewer system installed by other than HRW personnel, whether inside or outside the county, shall be installed by a licensed utility contractor in accordance with the provisions of this chapter as well as other HRW specifications and requirements. Among other matters, such specifications shall govern the size of all lines, their locations, grades, materials used, manner of installation and provision for future extensions.
(B) No construction or any addition to HRW's water or sewer system shall commence until detailed plans have been reviewed and approved by the Director of Harnett Regional Water or the designee of the Director. Such plans shall include whatever information the administrator deems necessary to determine whether the proposed extension complies with all applicable HRW specifications and requirements.
(C) Water lines intended for addition to HRW owned water system will be allowed to connect to the system if installed within the rights-of-way of a dedicated street or if adequate permanent easements are provided. Sewer lines shall also be installed within public street rights-of-way wherever practical, but HRW may accept sewer lines constructed on private property (where the topography makes this necessary) if adequate permanent easements are provided.
(D) To protect street surfaces, HRW shall require that whenever extensions of water or sewer lines are made to properties or within new subdivisions, laterals be extended to all properties expected to tap onto such water or sewer lines.
