A. 
When an owner or developer of a parcel of land within the Town of Cromwell submits a plan of development for said parcel of land to the Planning and Zoning Commission of the Town of Cromwell, said Commission shall not approve such plan of development until said developer has secured from the Sewer Authority of the Town of Cromwell an approval of his proposed sanitary sewer system and its connection to the public sewer system of the Town or a waiver of such requirement from said Sewer Authority as hereinafter provided in Subsection B of this section.
B. 
If a proposed subdivision is located within 5,000 feet of an existing public sewer system or within an area that the Sewer Authority expects to extend public sewers into within a five-year period in accordance with a master sewer plan established by the Sewer Authority or in an area that is to be serviced by a sewer system that has been designed but not constructed, the developer shall be required to connect his proposed sewer system to said public sewer. If in the opinion of the Sewer Authority such connection is impractical because of the location of the proposed development in relation to the public sewer or because the capacity of said public sewer cannot accommodate the projected flow from such development, the Authority may, by resolution, waive said requirement to connect to said public sewer. When the Authority is of such opinion, it shall notify the developer that:
(1) 
He is released from the requirement to provide a public sewer system for his proposed development;
(2) 
He shall be required to install a capped sewage system within the proposed development and shall deposit with the Town a sum of money determined by said Authority to be sufficient to connect said capped system to the public sewer when it becomes practical to do so; or
(3) 
He shall be required, as part of his proposed system, to construct the sewer system the Town had designed but not built. When this action is required of the developer, the Authority shall agree to acquire any rights-of-way needed as part of its design, without cost to the developer, and shall agree to reimburse the developer for the additional cost of installing any pipes or other appurtenances required which exceed either the capacity of the sewer system needed to serve the proposed development or the minimum size pipes and appurtenances established by the Sewer Authority for sewer systems within the Town of Cromwell, whichever results in larger size pipes and appurtenances thereto.
C. 
When topography indicates that construction of the proposed sewer within the street line boundaries is impractical, the developer may propose to install the sewer in rights-of-way off said street lines. If the developer so proposes, the Sewer Authority is reserved the right to either accept or reject such proposal. If the Authority accepts such proposal, the developer shall deed without cost to the Town all such rights-of-way that cross over, under or upon any property owned by him necessary to the construction and future maintenance of the proposed sewer.
[Amended TC 6-16-2014]
D. 
The Sewer Authority is authorized to enter into agreements with developers allowing said developers to construct a sewer system that will serve their proposed developments. Such agreements shall define the conditions and responsibilities of both the Town and the developer and shall be in a form as approved by the Town Attorney.
E. 
When topography dictates that a pumping station is needed to convey effluent from the proposed development to the public sewage system, the developer shall, at his own expense, install such pump station. If, in reviewing the plans of the proposed development, the Authority finds that areas beyond the limits of the proposed development could be served by the aforesaid pump station, the Authority may require the developer to include such area in the design capacity of the station, without cost to the Town. If the design indicates that the pumps and associated equipment needed to serve the enlarged areas will cause additional cost to the developer, the Authority may negotiate with the developer as to the distribution of the costs of such pumping station.
F. 
When the Town has constructed or caused to be constructed a sewer to which the proposed sewage system designed to serve the proposed development is connected or is to be connected, all improvements within said development shall be subject to a benefit assessment. Said benefit assessment shall be in accordance with the sewer assessment formula established by the Sewer Authority now in effect or as revised by said Authority and in effect at the time the benefit assessment is levied. Such assessment and assessment formula shall conform to the requirements of all General Statutes of the State of Connecticut and all applicable sections of the Code of the Town of Cromwell.
