(a)

Whenever application is made for the approval of the connection of a private sewer system in a planned interest community, as defined in P.A. 83-374, to the city system, the water pollution control authority shall make a determination as to whether or not any part of the private system has the potential capacity to serve other areas of the city other than that encompassed by the applying planned interest community.

(b)

If the water pollution control authority determines that the system or any part thereof has the capacity to serve other areas, the water pollution control authority shall require, as a condition of approval, that the developer of, or the planned interest community, shall convey to the city so much of the system that is applicable together with such easements and rights-of-way as may be required in order to ensure future expansions to other areas and thereafter the city shall be responsible for the maintenance, and proper upkeep of the system.

(c)

All easements shall contain a provision that by the acceptance thereof, the city shall, if it needs to exercise its rights under the easement, restore any disturbed area to such condition as existed immediately prior to the entry.
