When a property owner, builder, or developer proposes to construct sanitary sewers or extensions to sanitary sewers in an area proposed for subdivision, the plans, specifications, and method of installation shall be subject to the approval of the Superintendent, and the Jefferson County Health Department, in accordance with §
174-26. Said property owner, builder, or developer shall pay for the entire installation, including a proportionate share of the treatment plant, intercepting or trunk sewers, pumping stations, force mains, and all other Town expenses incidental thereto. Each street lateral shall be installed and inspected pursuant to Article
VI, Building Laterals, Street Laterals Connections, and Fees, and inspection fees shall be paid by the applicant prior to initiating construction. Design and installation of sewers shall be as specified in §
174-30, and in conformance with paragraphs 3 through 6 of ASTM Specification C-12. The installation of the sewer shall be subject to periodic inspection by the Superintendent, without prior notice. The Superintendent shall determine whether the work is proceeding in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, and whether the completed work will conform with the approved plans and specifications. The sewer, as constructed, must pass the infiltration test (or the exfiltration test, with prior approval), required in §
174-32, before any building lateral is connected thereto. The Superintendent shall be notified 30 days in advance of the start of any construction actions so that such inspection frequencies and procedures as may be necessary or required, may be established. No new sanitary sewers will be accepted by the Town Board until such construction inspections have been made so as to assure the Town Board of compliance with this chapter and any amendments or additions thereto. The Superintendent has the authority to require such excavation as necessary to inspect any installed facilities if the facilities were covered or otherwise backfilled before they were inspected so as to permit inspection of the construction. The Superintendent shall report all findings of inspections and tests to the Town Board.
All costs and expenses incident to the installation and connection
of the building sewer shall be borne by the owner. The owner shall
indemnify the Town from any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly
be occasioned by the installation of the building sewer.
Plans, specifications, and methods of installation shall conform to the requirements of this article. Components and materials of wastewater facilities not covered in this chapter, such as pumping stations, lift stations, or force mains shall be designed in accordance with §
174-26, and shall be clearly shown and detailed on the plans and specifications submitted for approval. Force main details are covered in §
174-33. When requested, the applicant shall submit, to the Superintendent and to the Jefferson County Health Department, all design calculations and other pertinent data to supplement review of the plans and specifications. Results of manufacturer's tests on each lot of pipe delivered to the job site shall also be furnished, upon request.
All sanitary sewers and extensions to sanitary sewers constructed
at the applicant's expense, after final approval and acceptance
by the Superintendent, and concurrence by the Town Board, shall become
the property of the Town of Wilna Sewer District, and shall thereafter
be operated and maintained by the Town of Wilna Sewer District. No
sanitary sewer shall be accepted by the Town until four copies of
as-built drawings have been so filed with the Superintendent and the
Superintendent has approved the submitted drawings. Said sewers, after
their acceptance by the Town, shall be guaranteed against defects
in materials or workmanship for one year, by the applicant. The guarantee
shall be in such form and contain such provision as deemed necessary
by the Town Board, secured by a surety bond or such other security
as the Town Board may approve.
