Sewers.
(1)
Where a public sanitary system is within 1,000 feet of,
or where plans approved by the governing body provide for the installation
of such public sanitary sewer facilities to within 1,000 feet of a proposed
subdivision and land development, the developer shall provide the subdivision
or land development with a complete sanitary sewer system to be connected
to the existing or proposed sanitary sewer system. The system shall be designed
by a registered engineer and approved by the Municipal Engineer.
(2)
Where installation of a public sanitary sewer system
is not required, the developer or owner of the lot shall provide for a complete
private sanitary sewer system using a treatment plant to be in accordance
with the requirements of the state, or shall provide for each lot at the time
of improvements already erected thereon a private sewage disposal system consisting
of a septic tank and title absorption field or other approved sewage disposal
system. All such sewage disposal systems shall be constructed in accordance
with Act 537, as amended, and applicable to municipal regulations and approved
by the Municipal Engineer. The choice of which sewage disposal system is necessary
will be determined by the governing body acting upon the advice of the Municipal
Engineer, the Township Planning Commission, the Lycoming County Planning Commission
and/or the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources.
(3)
Capped sewers. When trunk sewers are not available, or
not available within the required distance, but will become available within
a reasonable time, the collection system and the required laterals extending
from the main to the curb shall be installed and capped by the developer.
The developer may also install on-site disposal, provided that the system
is designed to permit connection to the public sewer when it becomes operable.
B.
Water.
(1)

of, or where plans approved by the governing body provide for the installation

or land development, the developer shall provide the subdivision or land development
with a complete water main supply system to be connected to the existing or
proposed water main supply system.
(2)
Where installation of a public water main supply system
is not required, the developer or owner of the lot shall provide for each
lot at the time improvements are erected thereon, an individual water supply
approved by the Board of Health or Health Official.
Whenever the evidence available to the governing body indicates that
natural surface drainage is inadequate, the developer shall install a stormwater
sewer system in accordance with approved plans and profiles. The system shall
be designed by a registered engineer and be approved by the Municipal Engineer.
The developer shall submit his engineer's calculations upon which the size
of conduits, culverts and other portions of the proposed storm sewer system
has been based.
Whenever the lot width is less than 150 feet at the building line, the
developer shall install curbs in accordance with the municipality's specifications.
The governing body shall require curbs in any subdivision or land development
where necessary for proper drainage. Gutters and stabilized shoulders must
be provided in all areas where curbs are not used.
Whenever the lot width is less than 150 feet at the building line, or
when multifamily dwellings are provided, sidewalks shall be installed in accordance
with the municipality's specifications. The governing body may require the
installation of sidewalks or pedestrian walkways in any subdivision or land
development when deemed necessary for the public safety or convenience.
The subdivision or land development shall be provided with street name
signs at all intersections. Such signs shall conform to the municipality's
specifications and shall be installed by the developer in a manner specified
by the municipality.
All electric and telephone service, including streetlighting, shall
be placed underground in compliance with the Public Utility Commission's regulations.
In cases where any of the foregoing requirements are not deemed appropriate
by the governing body to serve in the public interest, the governing body
reserves the right to increase, change, alter or substitute materials, manner
and specification for any utility or street improvement.
