When a property owner, builder, or developer proposes to construct sanitary sewers or extensions to sanitary sewers in an area proposed for subdivision, the plans, specifications, and method of installation shall be subject to the approval of the Superintendent, in accordance with §
131-22. Said property owner, builder, or developer shall pay for the entire installation, including a proportionate share of the treatment plant, intercepting or trunk sewers, pumping stations, force mains, and all other Town of Inlet expenses incidental thereto. Each street lateral shall be installed and inspected pursuant to Article 6, and inspection fees shall be paid by the applicant prior to initiating construction. Design and installation of sewers shall be as specified in §
131-25, and in conformance with Paragraphs 3 through 6 of ASTM Specification C-12. The installation of the sewer shall be subject to periodic inspection by the Superintendent, without prior notice. The Superintendent shall determine whether the work is proceeding in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, and whether the completed work will conform with the approved plans and specifications. The sewer, as constructed, must pass the infiltration test (or the exfiltration test, with prior approval), required in §
131-27, before any building lateral is connected thereto. The Superintendent shall be notified 30 days in advance of the start of any construction actions so that such inspection frequencies and procedures as may be necessary or required, may be established. No new sanitary sewers will be accepted by the Town of Inlet Board until such construction inspections have been made so as to assure the Town of Inlet Board of compliance with this chapter and any amendments or additions thereto. The Superintendent has the authority to require such excavation as necessary to inspect any installed facilities if the facilities were covered or otherwise backfilled before they were inspected so as to permit inspection of the construction. The Superintendent shall report all findings of inspections and tests to the Town of Inlet Board.
Plans, specifications, and methods of installation shall conform to the requirements of this article. Components and materials of wastewater facilities not covered in this chapter, such as pumping stations, lift stations, or force mains shall be designed in accordance with §
131-22, and shall be clearly shown and detailed on the plans and specifications submitted for approval. Force main details are covered in §
131-28. When requested, the applicant shall submit, to the Superintendent, all design calculations and other pertinent data to supplement review of the plans and specifications. Results of manufacturer's tests on each lot of pipe delivered to the job site shall also be furnished, upon request.
All sanitary sewers and extensions to sanitary sewers constructed
at the applicant's expense, after final approval and acceptance
by the Superintendent, and concurrence by the Town of Inlet Board,
shall become the property of the Town of Inlet, and shall thereafter
be operated and maintained by the Town of Inlet. No sanitary sewer
shall be accepted by the Town of Inlet until four copies of as-built
drawings have been so filed with the Superintendent and the Superintendent
has approved the submitted drawings. Said sewers, after their acceptance
by the Town of Inlet, shall be guaranteed against defects in materials
or workmanship for one year, by the applicant. The guarantee shall
be in such form and contain such provision as deemed necessary by
the Town of Inlet Board, secured by a surety bond or such other security
as the Town of Inlet Board may approve.
