Sec. 134-147. - Developer installed lines.
(a)
The developer of a tract of land, after approval of plans by the county, and other appropriate agencies, shall, at his expense, install the required collection and transmission lines to connect the development to the district's collection system.

The minimum size pipe allowed for the collection system shall be eight inches in diameter, and service laterals shall be six inches in diameter. Upon acceptance of such installation by the district, all transmission, collection, service laterals and manholes shall be deeded to and become the property of the district through the procedure outlined in section 134-148
(b)
Should the district oversize the lines beyond the requirements to serve the developer, the district shall reimburse the developer only for the difference in the cost of the pipe. Should the district require manholes and appurtenances beyond the requirements to serve the developer, the district shall reimburse the developer for the cost of such manholes and appurtenances.
(c)
If the district cannot provide the development with sewage collection, the developer, after approval of plans by the district and other appropriate agencies, shall, at his expense, install the required sewage collection and treatment system. The sewage collection and treatment system shall be maintained and operated by the developer in a manner acceptable to all appropriate regulatory agencies until such time as the district or other legally designated public body provides sewage collection and treatment facilities to the vicinity of the developer's property. When such sewage collection and treatment facilities and services become available, the developer shall, at his own expense, connect the development's sewage collection system to the public facilities. Connection shall be made in full compliance with applicable rules, regulations and ordinances governing such connection.
