A. Plans, Specifications And Construction: A developer who wishes to extend sewer facilities must employ a civil engineer registered in the State to perform the field engineering and prepare detailed plans and specifications for the sewer extension. The final detailed plans and specifications for the main sewer extension must be approved by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) and by the Town Council before construction begins. The design and engineering will be in accordance with the specifications of the ADEQ and the Town prior to construction. The construction shall meet the Town's specifications, requirements and approval, and will be subject to inspection by the Town's agents during construction. Subject to the provisions of this Chapter, the Town agrees to permit the developer to connect into the Town's existing trunk sewer lines and the main sewer line to be constructed by the developer herein provided. (1986 Code § 15-3-1; 1997 Code)
B. Area To Be Served: The maximum area to be served by the proposed main sewer line and its ultimate branches and laterals shall be determined by the Town Engineer based on local drainage conditions. In the event that the area to be serviced by the developer is lesser in size than the maximum area to be serviced by the proposed main sewer line and its ultimate laterals, the main sewer line shall be designed, engineered and constructed to serve the maximum area as determined by the Town Engineer. If other parties in the service area desire to join with the developer in constructing the proposed main sewer line, this agreement will be considered as including such additional parties. (1986 Code § 15-3-2)
C. Costs Of Extension: The developer shall pay the costs for utility extension based on the current extension policy adopted by the Town Council. (1986 Code § 15-3-3)

Building or house connection charges (sewer tap) shall be paid to the Town at the prevailing rate and are not refundable. (1986 Code § 15-3-4)
E. Ownership Of Main Line: The Town shall have exclusive control of connections to the proposed main sewer line and upon its completion, the main line shall become and be the property of the Town. Except as otherwise herein provided, all provisions of the Town Code and ordinances or amendments thereto applicable to sewer services, including all charges therefor, shall apply to services in the proposed area.
