[Amended 2-11-1976 by Ord. No. 76-10]
Sewer service charges to dwellings outside the
Borough limits shall be equal to in-Borough sewer service charges
for dwellings, plus 25% additional. Such charges shall be collected
in the same manner as other sewer service charges are collected.
All ordinances affecting the use of the Borough
sewer system which are now in force or which may be enacted hereafter
and any amendments thereto shall apply to sewer connections permitted
to be made under the terms of this article, except to the extent that
such ordinances are inconsistent herewith.
The Borough of Chambersburg does not solicit
and does not represent itself as ready to furnish sewer service to
dwellings outside of the Borough limits of the Borough of Chambersburg,
and any permission to connect dwellings outside of the Borough of
Chambersburg with the Borough sanitary sewer system is given solely
as an accommodation to the property owner and is with the express
understanding and condition that the Borough of Chambersburg reserves
the right to terminate any and all such connections at any time at
its sole discretion without liability to any person or persons whose
sewer service may be disconnected, and the conditions of this article
and any other ordinance which may be hereafter enacted shall be binding
not only upon the owners of the dwellings at the time of any sewer
connections but upon the heirs and assignees of any such dwellings.
