A. A developer that seeks to connect a sewer main extension to a public sewer must submit construction plans and specifications for approval to the Director, pay established fees and charges, and receive approved permits from the City before construction of the sewer main extension will be allowed.

B. The Department will not perform field engineering or prepare detailed plans and specifications for sewer main extensions and associated appurtenances for a developer. The developer is responsible for all costs to hire a civil engineer registered in Arizona to perform all work. The developer must pay for all the costs to design, permit, and construct the sewer main extension, including any costs of acquiring rights-of-way and easements, preparation of as-built plans, and for the Department to inspect construction of the sewer main extension.

C. All sewer main extensions must be sized for adequate service during peak flows, as determined by the Director. The Director will determine the necessary layout of public sewer mains.

D. If public lift stations are necessary due to hydraulic grade conditions that do not allow for gravity sewer mains, the developer must construct at its own expense the necessary facilities and must meet City design standards for the facilities.

E. The public sewer main extensions, lift stations and other appurtenances constructed in accordance with this article upstream of tap connection become part of the public sewer upon acceptance of the facilities by the City from the developer. (Ord. No. G-1935, § 2; Ord. No. G-6740, § 1, 2020)
