[Adopted 7-3-1968 by Ord. No. 268 (Ch.
49, Art. I, of the 1970 Code)]
As used in this article and unless a different
meaning clearly appears from the context, the following words shall
have the following meanings:
The Northeast Monmouth County Regional Sewerage Authority.[1]
The Borough of Oceanport.
Any building or structure heretofore or hereafter constructed
and designed or used for dwelling or other use or occupancy by persons,
either temporary or permanent.
The 90th day following the service of a notice from the Borough
that a sewer is available to serve a building; except that, in the
case of a building completed subsequent to the availability of a sewer
to the premises on which a building is located, "connection date"
shall mean the date of the initial occupancy of said building or the
date of the issuance of a certificate of occupancy therefor, whichever
of said dates shall be the earlier.
Shall be deemed to front on the system if any of its boundaries
abut a street or easement at a point opposite a sewer in such street
or easement which is part of a sewer of the Authority or where a building
is located upon a street or easement in which a sewer is now or hereafter
constructed.
Any sewer or main designed or used for collection or disposal
of sanitary sewage within the Borough.
Every connection required by this article shall
be made in a manner to discharge into said sewer all waste and sanitary
sewage originating in the building in accordance with and subject
to the rules and regulations as well as sewer system standards heretofore
or hereafter adopted by the Authority, which connection shall be subject
to the right of inspection and approval by the Authority. All connection
charges, service charges and inspection fees imposed by the Authority
under its rules and regulations or rate schedules now or hereafter
adopted by the Authority shall be paid promptly when due.
The owner of each building located on property
which now or hereafter fronts upon a sewer or is located upon any
street in the Borough in which a sewer is now or hereafter constructed
shall connect such building and property with said sewer prior to
the connection date for the purpose of delivering sewage from each
building into the sewer. Said connection shall be subject to and in
conformity with the rules and regulations and sewer system standards
heretofore or hereafter adopted by the Authority regulating and providing
for the construction of such connections and providing for the improvement,
maintenance and repair of such connections and prescribing the kind
of materials to be used in the original connection and in improving
and repairing the same and the method of doing the same. Unless a
toilet is already installed therein, every owner of such building
shall install at least one toilet therein and connect such building
and every toilet therein with said sewer.
The Borough Clerk shall mail a notice to connect
on a form furnished by the Authority to every owner of a building
and property located within the area in the Borough in which a sewer
shall have been installed and is ready to receive sewage. The Borough
Clerk shall mail such notice to connect as soon as possible following
receipt of written notification from the Authority describing the
area or areas within which such sewer is available to receive sewage.
The Borough Clerk shall forward a list of the names and addresses
of the owners upon whom the notice to connect has been served to the
Authority.
If the owner of any property affected by this
article shall neglect, after notice given as provided in the Revised
Statutes of New Jersey 40:63-52 to 40:63-64, inclusive,[1] to make any such sewer connection or installation of toilet,
the Borough may cause such connection or installation to be made under
its direction and supervision or award one or more contracts for the
making of such improvement, and such sewer connection or installation
charge shall bear interest and be a first and paramount lien against
the respective property or properties so connected with the sewer
to the same extent as assessments for local improvements, and shall
be collected and enforced in the same manner, all as provided in the
Revised Statutes of New Jersey 40:63-54.[2]
