(c) Sewer Easements: Sewers installed outside the public right-of-way shall reside in an easement having a minimum width of twenty (20) feet (ten (10) feet each side of the sewer). Private sewer laterals installed within said easement shall extend to the edge of the easement.
(d) Extension to Development Boundaries: All sewers shall be extended to the upstream boundary of the property or development being served except in those areas where the discretion of the City's Authorized Agent determines the natural or planned topography makes it unreasonable to plan for later extensions of the sewer.
(e) Oversizing. Should the City determine that a sanitary sewer line larger than the minimum size is necessary for the benefit of the City and not for the benefit of the subdivision, the City shall pay the cost of such sanitary sewer line materials in excess of the minimum size. The City shall pay for the reasonable labor costs of the construction in excess of the labor costs for the installation of twelve (12) inches in diameter. Should the City determine that a sanitary sewer line be installed deeper than necessary for the benefit of this subdivision, the City shall pay the reasonable labor costs of the construction in excess of the labor costs for the installation of the deeper sanitary sewers.
