8-2-38: RESPONSIBILITY FOR SEWER LINES:
   A.   Construction Of Sewer Line: The owner or developer of any piece of property or tract of land is responsible for the construction of the sewer line (or for the sewer line costs) along any property sides or frontages of the property along which a sewer line is needed for the overall completeness and continuity of the city's sewer main system. If it is a large tract of land, the owner or developer shall also be responsible for the necessary and required system of sewer lines within the interior of the tract of land. The owner or developer of any piece of property shall construct all needed sewer lines of the approved size within and along all sides or frontages of any piece of property prior to the time any building construction thereon is occupied or utilized unless "phased" construction of the sewer main system is specifically allowed or provided for in the annexation or development agreement.
   B.   Costs: The owner or developer of any property or subdivision will normally be responsible only for the cost of up to an eight inch (8") diameter sanitary sewer line. The additional cost of providing a sanitary sewer line of a size greater than eight inches (8") will normally be a city responsibility. The city will reimburse the developer for the extra cost of the additional sanitary sewer line size (over the 8 inch diameter size referenced above) as set forth in the annexation or development agreement between the developer and the city. Provided further, however, that if any proposed subdivision or development is of such size or magnitude that it requires or necessitates a sewer size larger than an eight inch (8") diameter line or if the type of development is such as to produce a wastewater flow in excess of the capacity of an eight inch (8") diameter sewer line, then the owner or developer of said subdivision shall be responsible for the entire cost to whatever size of sewer line is needed to accommodate his or her development. The additional cost of providing any extra sewer line depth required by the city (over and above the sewer line depth required to adequately serve the owner or developer's property when assuming at least a 12 foot sewer line depth at the uppermost end of the sewer line extended through or along said property) will be a city responsibility and the city will reimburse the owner or developer for the cost of said extra depth of sewer line as agreed upon and as set forth in the annexation or development agreement between the developer and the city.
