§ 27-53. Sewer lines and lift stations.

(a)

In the event there is no sewer line fronting the property, it will be the responsibility of the owner/developer to install and/or extend the standard size sewer line, minimum eight (8) inches to front the property with all required manholes and house connections in accordance with the current parish standards and requirements, prior to applying for building occupancy permits.

All material and installation must also meet the parish requirements. Engineering plans and specifications stamped by a professional engineer must be provided to the parish for review and approval prior to any installations.

(b)

When the owner/developer chooses to obtain the services of the sewer department or it's contractor to install the required sewer line, the director of the sewer department may waive the requirements for the owners to provide engineering plans and specifications. The owner/developer is responsible for the charges and expenses. These charges must be paid before any sewer line installation. The cost of installing the sewer line does not include any other applicable sewer fees.

(c)

Any sewer line inside the private property line will be maintained by the property owner.
