Section 9.9   Water and Sewer Requirements
   (A)   General: All subdivisions and all developments (including single-family dwellings) shall be designed for and connected to Public water or sewer or meet applicable Health Department requirements for on-site systems where Public water or sewer is not required to be provided. The developer shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary permits and approvals for any water or sewer system extensions;
   (B)   Oversized Water and Sewer Facilities: The Village, Moore County Utilities or other public utility provider may, in order to serve future development, require the developer to install certain oversized water and sewer improvements and/or to increase such improvements to a size and/or extent beyond that necessary for the needs created by the developer. In such cases, the Village, Moore County Utilities or other public utility provider shall enter into an agreement to reimburse the developer for the over-sizing and/or extension based upon rates as agreed to by the Village, Moore County Utilities or other public utility provider;
   (C)   Water Requirements: Any subdivision or development that has Public water system lines available shall be required to extend the Public water system throughout the development or the subdivision to each lot located therein. All required water line extensions shall include appropriate valves, hydrants, taps, related utility appurtenances and capped service to the property line of each lot as required by the Village Engineering Standards and Specifications Manual and/or other public utility provider. Such systems shall be designed and installed to allow for future extension to adjoining property as determined by the Village Engineer in consultation with the Pinehurst Fire Department.
      The term "available" shall mean that there is an existing public water line of adequate size and water flow and/or pressure within three hundred (300) feet of the outside boundary line of the subdivision or development; or the Village, Moore County Utilities or other public utility provider, at its option, indicates its commitment to extend such a water line within three hundred (300) feet of the property line of the subdivision or development at no cost to the developer and there are no legal or topographic problems that prevent the developer from connecting onto and extending the existing system to the subdivision or development. In the event there are phases to the subdivision or development, or the subdivision or development is a part of a larger tract of land owned or under the control of the developer, then in that case Public water service shall be deemed to be available if an existing or proposed Public water system line extends or will be extended within three hundred (300) feet to the larger tract of land.
      In the event the Village, Moore County Utilities or other public utility provider elects not to extend a water line of sufficient size, flow, and/or pressure within three hundred (300) feet of the subdivision or development boundary because of topographic features, legal obstacles, or financial reasons, then the developer shall not be required to extend Public water lines to each lot nor provide Public water service to the subdivision or development;
   (D)   Sewer Requirements: Any subdivision or development that has Public sewer system lines available shall be required to extend the Public sewer system throughout the subdivision or development to each lot located therein. All required sewer line extensions shall include appropriate manholes, lift stations, pumps, clean outs, taps, other related appurtenances and service to the property line of each lot as required by the Village Engineering Standards and Specifications Manual and/or other public utility provider.
      The term "available" shall mean that there is an existing public sewer line of adequate size and sufficient capacity within three hundred (300) feet of the outside boundary line of the subdivision or development or the Village, Moore County Utilities or other public utility provider, at its option, indicates its commitment to extend such a sewer line within three hundred (300) feet of the property line of the subdivision or development at no cost to the developer and there are no legal or topographic problems that prevent the developer from connecting onto and extending the existing system to the subdivision or development. In the event there are phases to the subdivision or development, or the subdivision or development is a part of a larger tract of land owned or under the control of the developer, then in that case Public sewer service shall be deemed to be available if an existing or proposed Public sewer system line extends or will be extended within three hundred (300) feet to the larger tract of land.
      In the event the Village, Moore County Utilities or other public utility provider elects not to extend a sewer line of sufficient size and capacity within three hundred (300) feet of the subdivision or development boundary because of topographic features, legal obstacles, or financial reasons, then the developer shall not be required to extend Public sewer lines to each lot nor provide Public sewer service to the subdivision or development.
