Application to construct extensions or additions
to any sanitary sewers shall be made to the Superintendent on forms
prescribed by the Village and shall be approved by the Village before
submission to DEC. Two sets of detailed construction plans showing
the proposed construction shall be submitted to the Village for preliminary
review. Following preliminary review and approval, the applicant shall
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 application and approved
plans and specifications shall be forwarded with a letter of approval
to DEC. Evidence of DEC 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 the Superintendent or authorized Village representatives. No sanitary sewers are to be covered until such inspection has been made. The Superintendent will send a letter to the applicant certifying that inspection, testing and acceptance have been completed.

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 any outside services, such as consultant or legal, for the Village review (§
122-37) and the cost of all services consultant, legal or Village forces for inspection will be the responsibility of the extension applicant.

system shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the latest
revisions of the New York State Standards for Waste Treatment Works,
the Water Pollution Control Federation Manual of Practice No. 9, Design
and Construction of Sanitary and Storm Sewers, Erie County Health
Department Regulations and the American Society of Testing Material
Specifications for Sanitary Sewer Construction.

to the public sanitary sewer shall post a maintenance bond to be approved
by the Superintendent for 25% of the full value of the sewer construction
cost with the Village, guaranteeing the sewer for a period of two
years from the time of acceptance by the Superintendent. During this
period, any defects in the sewer or appurtenances must be corrected
at the applicant's expense.
Extensions of the Village Sanitary Sewer System
outside of the Village boundaries shall comply with this chapter as
well as all appropriate Village, state and federal laws, ordinances,
rules and regulations.
