(A) Determination of who pays expense of extension.
(1) The Village Board shall first determine if an extension of a sewer main is economically feasible based on the estimated cost of the extension and the number of existing potential users that will be served by the extension.
(2) If the extension is economically feasible, then the village may install and pay the cost of the extension at the discretion of the Board.
(3) If the village elects not to pay the cost of extending the sewer main, then the person or persons desiring sewer service shall install the extension at his, her, or their own personal expense upon written consent by the Board.
(4) The village shall not pay for any extension to an undeveloped area such as a subdivision being developed unless there are sufficient existing residents or businesses to make the extension economically feasible.
(B) Requirement if extension is installed by someone other than the village.
(1) The village must approve all plans and specifications for any extensions.
(2) Before any extensions are installed, the plans and specifications must be reviewed and approved by the state’s Environmental Protection Agency.
(3) Ownership, rights-of-way, and title must be conveyed to the village for all extensions installed by anyone other than the village. The village will maintain the mains thereafter.
(4) No extension will be permitted if, in the opinion of the Board, the system does not have the necessary capacity to serve the proposed extension.
