EXTENSION OF SANITARY SEWER SERVICE

§ 52.15 POLICY.

   (A)   In order to promote the orderly growth and advancement of existing and proposed residential, commercial and industrial areas inside, and outside, the district limits, adjacent to, and surrounding the district, so that such areas may at the proper time be served by the sewer service, the Board of County Sanitation District hereby decrees that henceforth district sanitary sewer service will not be extended except under the terms and conditions set forth in this chapter.

   (B)   This policy is based on the plan adopted by the Board of County Sanitation District for the financing of the district owned sanitary systems, which plan provides generally:

      (1)   For all local collector sewers, including manholes and service connections, to be paid for by the subdivider, developer or property owner; and

      (2)   Operation and maintenance expenses are to be paid for from service charges.

(Ord. 01-07.28.16, passed 7-28-2016)

   (C)   Agreements required.

      (1)   Applications for extension of district sewer services will generally not be considered unless:
