[Amended 2-21-2013 by Ord. No. 13-05]
1. Public sewer systems. When the subdivision or land development is
to be provided with a complete sanitary sewer system connected to
a public sanitary sewer system, a statement shall be submitted to
the Borough Council. When required, DEP planning module approval shall
also be obtained for final plan approval.
2. Private sewer systems. When a complete private sanitary sewer system
using a treatment plant is to be provided, a statement shall be submitted
to the Borough Council from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Protection certifying that a permit has been issued by the appropriate
agency approving the proposed facilities. Adequate security for the
maintenance of such plant shall be furnished to the Borough of Sharpsburg.
3. On-lot sewage disposal. In a subdivision where public sewers are
not available and a complete private sanitary sewer system is not
required, on-lot sewage disposal systems shall be provided.
4. Capped sewer system. Where the sanitary sewer system is not yet accessible,
but is planned for extension to the subdivision or development, the
subdivider shall install sewer lines, including lateral connections,
in order to provide service to each lot. The sewer mains shall be
suitably capped at the limits of the subdivision, and laterals shall
be capped at the right-of-way line when not extended to houses or
other structures. When laterals are extended to houses or other structures,
the internal plumbing system shall be constructed to accommodate them
as well as any septic system required. At such time as any planned
construction of extensions to the existing sanitary sewer system is
under contract, the subdivider may reduce the size of any required
septic system drain fields or septic tank by 50%.
[Amended 2-21-2013 by Ord. No. 13-05]
1. Provision of system. The subdivision or land development shall be
provided with a complete water main supply system, which shall be
connected to a municipal water supply or with a community water supply
approved by the engineer of the applicable water utility company and
the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, with satisfactory
provision for the maintenance thereof; except that, when such municipal
or community water supply system is not available, each lot in a subdivision
shall be capable of being provided with an individual water supply
system in accordance with minimum standards approved by the Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental Protection. If water is to be provided
by means other than by private wells owned and maintained by the individual
owners of lots within the subdivision or development, applicants shall
present evidence to the Borough of Sharpsburg or Planning Commission,
as the case may be, that the subdivision or development is to be supplied
by a certified public utility, a bona fide cooperative association
of lot owners or by a municipal corporation, authority or utility.
A copy of a certificate of public convenience from the Pennsylvania
Public Utility Commission, or an application for such certificate,
a cooperative agreement or a commitment or agreement to serve the
area in question, whichever is appropriate, shall be acceptable evidence.
2. Plans. The plans for the installation of the mains of a water supply
system shall be prepared for the subdivision or land development with
the cooperation of the applicable water supply agency and approved
by the engineer of the water supply agency to which the subdivision
or land development will be connected and shall be submitted to the
Borough Council. Upon the completion of the water supply system, one
copy of each of the plans for such system shall be filed with the
Borough of Sharpsburg.
3. Fire hydrants. Fire hydrants shall be provided as an integral part
of any public water supply system. The Borough Fire Marshal shall
be consulted to determine the location of proposed fire hydrants.
A storm drainage system shall be provided in accordance with the standards as set forth in §
22-506 of this chapter.
All improvements shall be installed according to a time schedule
which shall be approved by the Borough Council.
At the time each improvement is to be installed and upon its
completion, the subdivider shall notify the Borough Council so that
adequate inspections can be made. The inspection will be made by the
Borough Engineer. All costs of undertaking the inspection will be
borne by the subdivider.
