Whenever a revision to the Franconia Township Sewage Facilities Plan
has been approved by the Department to authorize installation, operation and
maintenance of a sewage facility as defined herein, the sewage facility shall
be installed, maintained and operated in compliance with the Standards adopted
by this article.
The Standards for Pumping Stations and Waste Water Treatment Plants
are incorporated in and made a part of this article by reference thereto.
In addition to compliance with the Standards, before installation of
a sewage facility, the person proposing the sewage facility shall evaluate
any contiguous service areas as requested by the township and prepare and
present to the township an economic feasibility study which projects the costs
of operation and maintenance of the facility, the number of actual and potential
users based upon equivalent dwelling units (EDU) and the probable annual cost
per EDU. The probable annual cost per EDU shall be consistent with the average
cost per EDU charged by the following surrounding municipalities: Franconia
Sewer Authority, Hatfield Township, Lower Salford Township, Towamencin Township,
