(b) Upon inspection of such photographs, and if satisfied that such sewer is free and clear of all foreign substances and debris, and is of sound workmanship and complies with sound engineering standards, the Municipal Engineer is thereupon authorized to approve same as a final inspection, placing in safe keeping all photographs so taken for future reference.
(c) The cost of such photographing and photographs and of any inspection report made pursuant thereto shall be entirely paid for by the contractor constructing such sewer system or the developer of the subdivision and the photographs shall remain the property of the Municipality.
