The following sections establish procedures and standards for the construction of lines within the public sanitary sewer system.
The extension of existing sewer lines may be accomplished through one of three funding arrangements listed below and shall be subject to the following requirements:
A. 
Funding.
(1) 
Authority-performed projects: from time to time the Authority may choose to extend the sewer services into other areas of the Township based upon the business practices, models, and policies of the Authority.
(2) 
Developer-performed projects: a developer may choose to make application to the Authority to extend the sewer services of the Authority at the sole cost of the developer. The developer may then dedicate that infrastructure to the Township in lieu of paying the White Township collection portion of the appropriate tap fee. Furthermore, the developer may make the appropriate application for reimbursement in accordance with Title 53, Chapter 56, of the Pennsylvania Code.
(3) 
Cost-sharing, authority-performed projects: from time to time the Authority may choose to extend the sewer services into other areas of the Township based upon the business practices, models, and policies of the Authority by sharing the cost. In this case all preliminary assessment costs and excess costs beyond the current business models that are considered to be a viable Authority-performed project are borne by the developer.
B. 
Requirements.
(1) 
An application shall be submitted on forms furnished by the Township for the purpose of requesting the extension of existing sewer lines, the application to be signed by the person or persons requesting such an installation.
(2) 
The applicant, developer, or other interested parties will be required to enter into an agreement with the Authority defining the terms and extents to which the extension project will be pursued.
(3) 
Subsequent to a preliminary assessment study of the proposed project, approval thereof and preparation of a detailed estimate of cost, the applicant or others interested parties shall advance to the Township a performance and payment bond which covers 110% of the entire estimated project cost of the sewer line extension and appurtenances, the cost to be based on a line at least eight inches in diameter, except in special cases where a larger line is deemed necessary to convey the flow of sewage according to specifications and shall execute an approval agreement. Estimated project costs are to include all engineering design, bidding and contract award, materials and installation costs, as well as construction and start-up observation to be performed by the Authority's consulting engineer.
(4) 
The installation of all sewage collection lines shall be in accordance with the detailed specifications prepared by or approved by the Authority's consulting engineer relative to such work, and the cost of all sewage collection lines shall include the cost of furnishing and installing of pipe, manholes, manhole frames and covers, and completion of such other work, cost of obtaining all land and rights-of-way, and all engineering, legal and other miscellaneous related costs.
(5) 
The construction of sewer lines in a lot plan development or similar areas shall be installed at the sole cost of the developer or owner and subject to all Township requirements currently in effect.
(6) 
Service line connection to existing sewage collection lines shall be subject to the fees established by the Township, and no connections shall be made without proper application, inspection and approval.
The construction of all interceptors, collectors and service line connections shall be done in accordance with the current technical specifications, plans, and procedures established by the Township and the Authority, as the same may be from time to time amended by resolution, copies of which shall be maintained on file with the Township Secretary.
The construction of all service line extensions shall be done in accordance with the current technical specifications, plans, and procedures established by the Township and the Authority, as the same may be from time to time amended by resolution, copies of which shall be maintained on file with the Township Secretary.
