(a) Development Mains. Developers (including individuals, subdividers, and/or owners of multifamily dwellings) shall pay the actual cost of sanitary sewer main extensions to serve their development area. For the purpose of this chapter, the "development area" shall include both current and future phases. All required sewer main improvements for said development will be determined by the Municipal Staff and/or Municipal Engineer. All expenses incurred by the Municipality in the review of a proposed sewer main extension as described herein shall be reimbursed by said developer(s).
(b) Oversized Mains. The Municipality may participate in any cost of oversized sewer mains, subject to fund availability and approval by Council. "Oversized mains" are defined as water mains over twelve inches, which are required by the Municipality for future system expansion and are not necessarily required for the proposed development.
(c) Pro-Rated Reimbursement Due Developer. Where the extensions to reach a development are laid in a public street right-of-way or in dedicated areas directly accessible for future service lines, the developer shall be entitled to reimbursement in accordance with the provisions contained herein, but such reimbursement shall not exceed the developer's original total cost of the main.
(d) Pro-Rated Cost Charges for Tapping Mains Extended by Municipality. The Municipality may elect to extend sewer mains where it deems appropriate. In such cases the main shall come under the same pro-rated charge provisions, and any taps of these lines shall be paid for the same as if such main where extended by a developer except the taps made by the "special extensions to individual single-family residence" as described herein. There shall be no time limitation for reimbursement to the Municipality for lines extended under the provisions of this section and the mentioned special extension section described herein.
