[Amended 6-6-1960 by Ord. No. 142]
Where an improved property, at the time connection to a sewer is required, shall be served by its own sewage disposal system or device, the existing structure sewer line shall be broken at the structure line and attachment shall be made, with proper fittings, to continue such existing structure sewer line as a building sewer.
No building sewer shall be covered until it has been inspected and approved by this borough and the Authority. If any part of a building sewer is covered before so being inspected and approved, it shall be uncovered for inspection at the cost and expense of the owner of the improved property to be connected to a sewer.
Every building sewer of any improved property shall be maintained in a sanitary and safe operating condition by the owner of such improved property.
Every excavation for a building sewer shall be guarded adequately with barricades and lights to protect all persons from damage and injury. Streets, sidewalks and other public property disturbed in the course of installation of a building sewer shall be restored, at the cost and expense of the owner of the improved property being connected, in a manner satisfactory to this borough.
If any person shall fail or refuse, upon receipt of a notice from this borough or the Authority, in writing, to remedy any unsatisfactory condition with respect to a building sewer within 60 days of receipt of such notice, this borough or the Authority may refuse to permit such person to discharge sewage and industrial wastes into the sewer system until such unsatisfactory condition shall have been remedied to the satisfaction of this borough and the Authority.
This borough reserves the right to adopt from time to time additional rules and regulations as it shall deem necessary and proper relating to connections with a sewer and the sewer system, which additional rules and regulations, to the extent appropriate, shall be and shall be construed as part of this chapter.
