The Standards for Constructing the Sewer shall be stipulated by the central competent authorities.

The competent authorities of the special municipality or the county or city shall, depending on practical needs and in cooperation with the regional drainage system, set up the regional sewerage plan, submit the plan to the central competent authorities for their approval, and include the plan into the urban or regional plan in accordance with legal procedures.

The construction of the sewer shall be planned and proceed concurrently in cooperation with other public facilities.

To meet construction needs, the sewerage institution may consult and negotiate with relevant competent authorities to use rivers, drainages, bridges, conduits, dikes, roads, parks and grass. However, such use shall be limited and not interfere with their original utilities.

To meet construction needs, the sewerage institution may bury pipes or other facilities under public or private land, and the landowner, possessor and user may not reject. Provided that the constructor shall select the place and method that would cause the least damage when engaged in construction and shall pay a compensation fee to them. Any objection arising from the selection of place and method or compensation fee shall be reported to the central competent authorities for their approval before handling.
If the burying of pipes or other facilities as noted the preceding Paragraph causes the landowner to be unable to build air-raid shelter facilities or statutory parking spaces, and the local competent authority in charge of construction matters further examines and verifies such a fact, it may grant permission to not build the parts of the air-raid shelter facilities or statutory parking spaces affected by such burying.

When other underground facilities need to be disposed of due to the plan, design or construction of drainage pipes or relevant facilities, the sewerage institution shall first inform the relevant authorities and obtain their agreement. If an agreement is not obtained, it shall be reported to the competent authority to call a meeting with relevant authorities to make a decision.

The landowner, possessor or user shall not reject the temporary use of public or private land by the sewerage institution for the investigation, measurement, construction or maintenance of the sewer. However, they shall be compensated if they suffer any damage from providing the land. Any objection that arises from the compensation shall be reported to the central competent authority for its decision before handling.

Supervision of the plan, design and construction of the sewer may be entrusted to registered professional engineers in the relevant fields. If the plan, design and construction are handled by the government, these shall be undertaken by their technical staff that duly obtained professional engineer certificates under the regulations set up by central competent authority.

The operation and maintenance of the sewerage facilities shall be conducted by qualified personnel who pass the skills certification. The skills certification shall be regulated by the central competent authority.
