A separate and independent house sewer lateral shall be provided
for:
A.
Each building under one roof and occupied as one business or residence;
or
B.
A combination of buildings owned by one party in one common enclosure,
occupied by one family or business; or
C.
The one side of a double house having a solid vertical partition
wall making it capable of divided ownership. A building owned by one
party containing more than one store, apartment or office may be supplied
by one or more house sewer laterals at the discretion of the Sewer
Engineer, except that where one building stands at the rear of another
on an interior lot and no separate house connection is available or
can be constructed to the rear building through an adjoining alley,
court or driveway, the house service connection from the front building
may be extended to the rear building and the whole constructed as
one building sewer.
The owner of all property upon which there is erected a house,
building or other structure used for human occupancy, employment,
recreation or other purpose, situated within the Borough and abutting
on any street, alley or right-of-way or located in the rear of other
properties so abutting and having access to such street, alley or
right-of-way, in which street, alley or right-of-way there is now
located, or may in the future be located, a public or sanitary sewage
system of the Borough, is hereby required, at his own expense, to:
Such toilet facilities shall be installed and connection shall
be made with the public sewer within 180 days after the date of official
notice requiring such action.
As public sewers become available to property presently being
served by a private sewage disposal system, a direct connection shall
be made to the public sewer pursuant to the terms of this article,
and any septic tanks, cesspools and/or similar private sewage disposal
systems shall be abandoned and securely covered or filled with suitable
material if required by the Board of Health to protect the health
and welfare of the community.
All costs and expenses incident to the installation and connection
of the house connection shall be borne by the owner. The owner shall
indemnify the Borough from any loss or damage that may directly or
indirectly be occasioned by the installation of the house connection.
