A. 
In accordance with the provisions of the Water Pollution Control Plan, it is the policy of the MWPCA to avoid extending sewers into undesignated sewer service areas. It is the MWPCA's policy to extend sewers only if there are no viable alternative methods to comply with DEEP orders or to remedy a pressing pollution problem.
B. 
The MWPCA shall specify the terms and the nature of and limitations on the water or waste liquids to be conveyed. Sewer plans must be approved by the MWPCA prior to permitting the commencement of work, and said plans for sewer work must be prepared by a professional engineer.
The MWPCA is authorized to enter into agreements on behalf of the Town with developers or other owners of land for the construction of sewers and related appurtenances by and at the expense of such developers or owners, which sewers may become part of the public sewer system under the conditions hereinafter stipulated. The Chairman of the MWPCA is authorized to sign, on behalf of the MWPCA, all such agreements when the same have been authorized by the MWPCA. The terms and the text of a standard form of agreement for work under these regulations is attached as Appendix A to these regulations.[1] Any variations of said standard form for any particular project thereunder shall require the approval of the MWPCA.

A. 
Plans and specifications. The MWPCA shall specify the terms of such plans and specifications which are made a part thereof, the limits, sizes and grades of piping and appropriate materials, and the nature of and limitation on the wastes or liquids to be conveyed.
B. 
Costs. Such agreements shall provide that the full cost of construction of the sewer and all expense thereto shall be borne by the developer or owner. Additionally, the developer or owner shall reimburse the MWPCA for any incidental costs incurred by the MWPCA and/or the Town concerning the project, such as review and approval of the plans and specifications, verification of field data and information, changes to plan, inspections, traffic control, etc.
C. 
Insurance. All such agreements shall provide that the developer or owner or the contractor engaged by the developer or owner to perform the work shall assume all risks and hold the Town harmless from any and all claims for damages arising from the work or its conduct. To secure against such risks, adequate liability, property damage and compensation insurance in amounts fixed by the MWPCA and in content and form acceptable by the MWPCA's legal counsel shall be required of the developer or owner or contractor performing the work, who shall furnish proper and acceptable certificates of insurance before starting work.
D. 
Bonding authority. The MWPCA shall require as part of said agreement that a performance bond guaranteed by surety acceptable to the MWPCA in amount and form be submitted to insure proper completion and maintenance of the work for a period of time defined by the MWPCA after construction is complete.
E. 
Inspection. The developer shall pay an inspection fee determined by the MWPCA to the MWPCA prior to commencement of work. If the inspection fee is expended prior to the completion of the construction, the developer shall submit addition funds as determined by the MWPCA within five business days after receipt of the request for additional funds. The work undertaken under such agreements shall be under the direction of the MWPCA. An inspector will be assigned by the MWPCA to inspect all work under such agreements. Any work performed without proper inspection may not be accepted and shall be uncovered and may be required to be removed and rebuilt if required by the inspector or the MWPCA. Any work performed that does not comply with the specifications and standards of the Town and the orders of the MWPCA will be stopped until there has been compliance with all requirements.
After certification by the MWPCA that any sewer construction under the terms of an agreement has been done in accordance with these regulations and the plans, specifications and standards of the MWPCA, and that any maintenance period fixed in the agreement has expired, or that adequate security by bond or otherwise has been furnished to assure such restoration, the MWPCA may incorporate said sewer into the public sewer system of the Town.
No provision of this section shall be construed to reduce or diminish the requirements of the Town and any other authority having jurisdiction over the owner or agent for the extension.
When the work is not in an accepted public highway right-of-way, easements shall be conveyed to the MWPCA or Town prior to the acceptance of the sewer; said easements shall be satisfactory to the MWPCA and/or the Town.
Upon completion of the work and prior to acceptance of the sewer and water lines, the developer or owner shall furnish the MWPCA with "as-built" maps showing utility locations, building service and lateral connections with distance ties certified as as-built by a land surveyor or professional engineer in Mylar and electronic format in latest form of AutoCAD and GIS. These drawings shall also show the certified leakage infiltration results from water and sewer line tests. Leakage and/or infiltration shall not exceed 100 gallons per inch mile of pipe per 24 hours.
