Except as otherwise provided in this section, each improved property shall be connected separately and independently with a sewer through a building sewer. Grouping of more than one improved property on one building sewer shall not be permitted except under special circumstances and for good sanitary reasons or other good cause shown, but then only after special permission of this borough and the Authority, in writing, shall have been secured.
All costs and expenses of construction of a building sewer and all costs and expenses of connection of a building sewer to a sewer shall be borne by the owner of the improved property to be connected; and such owner shall indemnify and save harmless this borough and the Authority from all loss or damage that may be occasioned directly or indirectly as a result of construction of a building sewer or of connection of a building sewer to a sewer.
[Amended 6-6-1960 by Ord. No. 142]
A. 
A building sewer shall be connected to a sewer at the place designated by the Authority and where the lateral is provided.
B. 
The lateral shall be provided at the place designated by the owner of each improved property if such owner shall designate to the Authority such place prior to the time construction is begun in front of the particular improved property and such place designated by the owner is feasible; otherwise, the lateral shall be provided at a place designated by the Authority.
C. 
The invert of a building sewer at the point of connection shall be at the same elevation as or a higher elevation than the invert of the sewer. A smooth, neat joint shall be made and the connection of a building sewer to the lateral shall be made secure and watertight.
If the owner of any improved property abutting on or adjoining any street in which there is a sewer, after 60 days' notice from this borough, in accordance with § 86-2A, shall fail to connect such improved property as required, this borough may make such connection and may collect from such owner the costs and expenses thereof by a municipal claim, an action in assumpsit or such other legal proceeding as may be permitted by law.
