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 §
125-27. Said property owner, builder, or developer shall obtain all necessary permits from the Town, including highway, water, and sewer departments and/or any other agency who may have control over any work prior to the start of construction, and pay for the entire installation, including intercepting or trunk sewers, pumping stations, force mains, and all other Town of Farmington expenses incidental thereto. Each street lateral shall be installed and inspected pursuant to Article
VI of this chapter, and inspection fees shall be paid by the applicant prior to initiating construction. Design and installation of sewers shall be as specified in this article and in accordance with the site design and development criteria as applicable. 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 §
125-33, before any building lateral is connected thereto. The Superintendent shall be notified 30 days in advance of the start of any construction actions, and a pre-construction meeting held in accordance with the site design and development criteria, 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 Board until such construction inspections have been made so as to assure the Town 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 Board. Any defective work shall be made good and any unsuitable materials that may have been previously overlooked by the Superintendent shall be removed and replaced at the expense of the property owner, builder, or developer. If the work or any part thereof shall be found defective at any time before the final acceptance of the project, the defect shall be made good in a manner satisfactory to the Superintendent at the expense of the property owner, builder, or developer.
