Application to construct new or additions to any sanitary sewers shall be made to the Department on the prescribed forms and shall be approved by the Department before submission to the Genesee County Health Department. Two sets of detailed construction plans showing the proposed construction shall be submitted to the Department for preliminary review. Following preliminary review and approval, the applicant will submit three sets of applications to construct a sanitary sewer along with eight sets of detailed construction plans and specifications showing the proposed construction. Five sets of the application and approved plans and specifications will be forwarded with a letter of approval to the Genesee County Health Department for acceptance. Evidence of Health Department approval as well as other required local, state and/or federal approvals is required prior to final acceptance.
Inspection during construction will be made by Department representatives. No sanitary sewers are to be covered until such inspection has been made. The Department will send a letter to the applicant certifying that inspection, testing and acceptance have been completed. Inspection and acceptance by the Department does not relieve the owner of the responsibility to keep the sewer operating in accordance with these regulations. A complete set of as-built construction plans showing the final construction, wye or tee locations and other information shall be submitted prior to final acceptance. The cost of the Department inspection and review will be the responsibility of the extension applicant.

During this period, any defects in the sewer or appurtenances must be corrected at the applicant's expense.
Whenever pipe laying is not in progress, the end of the pipe shall be securely closed with a tight-fitting cover or plug. Any earth or other material entering the main sewer due to operations of the plumber, contractor or building owner shall be removed at his expense.
