(11) 
In Sanitation Classes S-2 and S-3 cases, the Planning Board shall require sanitary sewer installations, in addition to individual sewage disposal units, for future connection with sewerage trunk lines in the Borough.

All of the above-listed improvements shall be subject to inspection and approval by the Borough Engineer, who shall be notified by the subdivider at least 24 hours prior to the start of construction. No underground installation shall be covered until inspected and approved.
A. 
No final plat shall be approved by the Planning Board until the completion of all such required improvements has been certified to the Planning Board by the Borough Engineer, unless the subdivision owner shall have filed with the Borough a performance guaranty sufficient in amount to cover the cost of all such improvements or uncompleted portions thereof, as estimated by the Borough Engineer, and assuring the installation of such uncompleted improvements on or before an agreed date. Such performance guaranty may be in the form of a performance bond, which shall be issued by a bonding or surety company approved by the Mayor and Council, or of a certified check, returnable to the subdivider after full compliance, or any other type of surety approved by the Borough Attorney.
B. 
The performance guaranty shall be approved by the Borough Attorney as to form, sufficiency and execution. Such performance guaranty shall run for a period to be fixed by the Planning Board but in no case for a term of more than five years. However, with the consent of the owner and the surety, if there be one, the Mayor and Council may, by resolution, extend the term of such performance guaranty for an additional period not to exceed three years. The amount of the performance guaranty may be reduced by the Mayor and Council by resolution when portions of the required improvements have been installed and approved by the Borough Engineer.
C. 
In all cases where the Borough Council accepts part of the improvements or rejects portions of said improvements, it shall inform the obligor, by certified mail, within 65 days of the obligor's notice that he has completed the improvements.
D. 
If the required improvements have not been installed in accordance with the performance guaranty, the obligor and surety shall be liable thereon to the municipality for the reasonable cost of the improvements not installed, and, upon receipt of the proceeds thereof, the municipality shall install such improvements.
Following acceptance by the Borough of all or portions of the improvements, a maintenance guaranty shall be posted with the Borough Council for a period not to exceed two years after final acceptance of said improvements, in an amount not to exceed 15% of the cost of the improvement.
