Any applications or permits required by these Regulations are in addition to applications and permits that may be required by other federal, state and local laws or regulations. The following applications and permits are required by these Regulations and issued by the Commission as they apply:
A. 
Any person or entity that seeks to:
(1) 
Perform subsurface work within 18 inches of the low pressure sewer line; or
(2) 
Perform maintenance on or repair any portion of the low pressure sewer line or its appendages, public or private; or
(3) 
Make any initial connection or reconnection of any building to the low pressure sewer line; or
(4) 
Initiate any building reconstruction which shall result in any extensions of or changes to building plumbing or any projected increase in flow to an existing sewer connection.
B. 
That person or entity shall first apply for and obtain a sewer access permit from the Sewer Commission and pay the appropriate fee.
A. 
An owner making application for any purpose will be required to submit to the Sewer Commission those plans, other required permits, specifications and other information as may be requested.
B. 
The application shall include the following information:
(1) 
The readiness of the property for connection;
(2) 
The location of the property within the District;
(3) 
The name of the licensed drain layer, licensed electrician and licensed plumber in charge of performing the work;
(4) 
Any change of use or floor area since May 2009; and
(5) 
Such other information as the Commission may reasonably require.
C. 
The Commission may impose penalties for substantial misstatements on the application for a sewer access permit.
A. 
An inspection fee and a connection fee shall accompany any application for reconstruction or reconnection. The Sewer Commission shall not approve a sewer access permit for initial connection unless the applicant provides a receipt demonstrating proof of payment of the appropriate inspection and connection fees.
B. 
Property owners seeking to reconnect a building which has been disconnected for violations of these regulations shall pay a reconnection fee equal to the first year connection fee. This fee will be in addition to any other fees, damages or charges levied by any other regulating authority.
A property owner seeking to connect to the system pursuant to an approved sewer access permit, or to maintain or repair any existing connection to the System, shall apply to the Commission for a permit to begin construction.
The Commission may elect to combine the applications for a sewer access permit and the application for a sewer connection construction permit for the convenience of the property owners.
A. 
The sewer access permit is valid for 150 calendar days following the date of approval. Construction completed within a ninety-day period after the grant of the permit shall be deemed complete in the connection year in which the connection fee was paid. In the event that construction is not completed (a) during the connection year in which the connection fee was paid, and (b) within 90 days of the grant of the permit, any additional fee due for the succeeding connection year must be paid by the property owner.
B. 
Any sewer access permit which expires without the commencement of construction shall be considered lapsed and invalid, and the property owner must reapply for all permits. If the lapse of the sewer access permit occurs in a succeeding connection year two or three, the reapplication shall be considered to take place in that following year and subject to the appropriate connection fee.
C. 
Construction in progress at the lapse of the sewer access permit must cease pending approval of an extension. Extension requests shall be made in person to the Sewer Commission by the property owner and the supervising contractor as expeditiously as possible and with prior notice if it appears the work will extend beyond the permit expiration date.
D. 
Construction abandoned at the lapse of a sewer access permit cannot resume until the reapplication is complete. Additional fees due, if any, as a result of the change in connection date, must be paid at the time of reapplication.
All connections must be inspected and approved by the Commission or it agents. Inspections will include the entire system, including the interior plumbing and electrical work. This inspection is in addition to inspections of the Town's Electrical Inspector and Plumbing Inspector.
