be prepared by a licensed professional engineer (signed and sealed)

such changes, must first be submitted to and approved, in writing,
by the Township and WC(PR)MUA.
The person constructing said sewer system shall supervise and
direct the work efficiently and safely.
Leakage tests shall be performed by the contractor and approved
by the Township prior to the connection of new sewer lines to the
Township's mains. Connections to building sewers shall not be made
until notice to connect is provided by the Township.
Following completion of construction of any sewers, the developer
shall submit to the Township Engineer certified as-built plans of
the system constructed.
Said new sewer system shall be operated and maintained by the
developer, in accordance with good practice, until ownership of the
new sewer system is conveyed to the Township, at which time operation
and maintenance shall be performed by the Township. Ownership of the
new sewer system shall be conveyed to the Township after 24 months
of operation of the new system.
