representative, and use of such extension shall not be permitted until
said construction has been inspected, tested and approved by the Borough
or its authorized representative.
B.
The applicant or developer shall reimburse the Borough in full for
all costs associated with the Borough's inspection and testing
of the sewers and appurtenances during construction, including resident
inspection services if deemed necessary. The amount and type of inspection
and testing shall be determined by the Borough during construction.

No sewer extension shall be approved for use and conveyed to the
Borough until said sewers have been formally approved by the Borough,
all applicable connection and inspection fees have been paid for each
building connected to the sewer extension and the Borough has been

testing and approval of the sewer extension.
The foregoing requirements of this article do not necessarily

the existing public sanitary sewerage system. In such cases, the Borough
may, if it so desires, consider sketch plans as adequate to accompany
applications for sewer service extensions.
