This part governs the contribution of the Township, if any,
to the cost of main water and sewer line extensions undertaken by

Where the difference between the diameter size of pipe specified

equal to the difference between the estimated cost of the construction
and installation of the pipe required by the Township and the estimated

by the Township in an amount equal to the amount set forth in § 3102
of the Second Class Township Code, 53 P.S. § 68102.
B. Request the Township to install the line extension in accordance with the requirements of § 3102 of the Second Class Township Code, 53 P.S. § 68102 and pay the costs of the line extension less a credit in an amount determined under §

deposits will be obtained before design work is commenced and before
the construction contract is awarded.
[Ord. 2002-325, 1/13/2002, § 18.06]
