The developer shall provide a water supply and
distribution system to service the proposed subdivision through one
of the following methods:
A. Connection shall be made to the Coopersburg public
water supply system. A distribution system shall be designed to furnish
an adequate supply of water to each lot.
B. Where a public water supply system is planned to serve
the proposed subdivision area within 10 years, a centralized water
system will be provided by the developer if the subdivision involves
20 or more dwelling units unless the average residential lot size
is one acre or larger. Whenever such a system is provided, the water
distribution lines shall be dedicated to the Coopersburg Municipal
Authority, and the Authority will acquire other parts of the water
supply system such as wells, pumps and storage tanks that can be integrated
into the public water system. This will take place after the improvements
are completed so that the system can be operated by the Authority.
Also, such a system shall be designed and constructed in a manner
that will permit adequate connection to a public water supply system
in the future. The system shall meet the design and construction standards
for centralized water systems set forth by the Coopersburg Municipal
Authority.
C. Where a public water supply is not proposed in the
area of the proposed subdivision within 10 years, the developer shall
provide a centralized water system if the subdivision involves 20
or more lots and the average residential lot size is less than one
acre. The system shall meet the design and construction standards
for centralized water systems set forth by the Coopersburg Municipal
Authority.
D. All centralized water systems that remain privately
owned shall be organized in a manner as to fall within the jurisdiction
of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.
E. Water supply systems shall be located and designed
to minimize or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters so as to meet
Federal Insurance Administration provisions.
