A. 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) within any of the property sides or frontage of the property along which a sewer line is needed for the overall completeness and continuity of the City's sewer main system and according to the City's sanitary master plan. 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.
B. 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 constructed thereon is occupied or utilized unless "phased" construction of the main system is specifically allowed or provided for in the development agreement. In lieu of actually constructing said required sewer line or sewer service lines, the property owner or developer may deposit adequate monies with the City to fully cover the cost(s) of said required sewer line construction.
C. The owner or developer of any property or subdivision will be responsible for the cost of an eight-inch (8") diameter sanitary sewer line. 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 or development shall be responsible for the entire cost of whatever size of sewer line is needed to accommodate that development.
D. Sewer mains shall be kept as deep as practical to keep sewage lift stations to the smallest number possible. When a sewage lift station and its related facilities are required, it and the sewer system directing sewage to it shall generally be designed for an entire definable area and not just to serve a single property owner or developer. The cost for the sewage lift stations and all related appurtenances shall be the sole responsibility of the single property owner or developer. (Ord. 543, 5-5-2009; amd. Ord. 2021-621, 9-2-2021)
