The Borough has previously apportioned treatment capacity
for planning and design purposes based upon NJDEP estimates and generally
accepted standards. Recognizing that treatment capacity is a valuable
public commodity, it is the intention of the Borough that unused capacity
revert to the Borough for allocation to new or expanding users having
need of the same. This the Borough deems to be in the best interest
of the general public.
Engineer analysis. The Borough Engineer is hereby
directed to review all available reports to determine the present
capacity usage for each facility presently served by the Boroughs
public sewer system, which shall be based on historical usage data
through the period ending the calendar year on December 31, 1997.
That level of present usage shall, as of January 1, 1998, be deemed
to be the recognized capacity allocation for each such property. Capacity
not in use as of that date shall revert to the Borough for allocation
in accordance with this chapter.
Newly allocated capacity shall be used or reserved
within the time set forth within the allocation policy set forth in
this chapter, else it shall revert to the Borough.
