The Township will maintain all service laterals from the main to a point inside the curb, all of which service laterals shall remain the sole property of the Township and shall not be trespassed on or interfered with in any respect. Where the Township's local sewerage system is located in a right-of-way, the Township will maintain the connection between the service lateral and the mains of the Township's system and maintain the service lateral to the limit of the right-of-way.
A. 
The Township reserves the right to determine the size and kind of the service lateral from the main to the curbline or right-of-way limit and the building sewer. New building sewers of all sizes (minimum four-inch pipe) shall be constructed in accordance with the standards and requirements of the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code and New Jersey State Plumbing Code. The Township Engineer shall have the authority to direct construction methods and materials consistent with said codes and/or with generally accepted engineering practices.
B. 
All building sewers shall be properly constructed in order to avoid the creation of infiltration and/or inflow sources.
No building sewer shall be laid within three feet of any open excavation, service lateral, vault or meter pit.
Where the renewal of the service lateral from the main to the curb is found to be necessary, the Township will renew the service in the location as previously used. If the property owner or user, for his own convenience, desires the new service lateral at some other location, he shall pay all expenses of such relocation and cutting and disconnecting the old service lateral and lay the new service lateral at the location desired.
All connections, building sewers and fixtures furnished by the user shall be maintained by him in good order, and all piping and connections furnished and owned by the Township and on the property of the customer shall be protected properly and cared for by the user. All leaks in the building sewer or any other pipe or fixture in or upon the premises served must be repaired immediately by the owner or occupant of the premises. The user shall be responsible for notifying the Township of the party engaged by the user to do any maintenance work to the customer's building sewer prior to work being commenced, and the party shall not backfill any trench until the work has been inspected and approved by the Township's agent. Any work not acceptable shall be immediately removed and replaced by work which is acceptable.
The Township shall in no way be responsible for maintaining any portion of the building sewer owned by the user or, due to blockages in any portion of the building sewer owned by the user, for damage done by sewage escaping therefrom or for lines or fixtures on the user's property; and the user shall at all times comply with applicable Township regulations with respect thereto and make changes therein required by reason of relocation of mains or otherwise.
If it is found that there is infiltration or inflow caused by a broken pipe, open joints or some other problem with the user's piping, it shall be reported to the WC(PR)MUA and the Township and repaired immediately by the user or owner at his sole cost and expense.
Under no circumstances will any of the following be connected to the sanitary sewers, either directly or indirectly:
A. 
Floor drain, area drain or yard drain, except floor drains are permitted in food service establishments and public rest rooms.
B. 
Rain conductor or downspout or sump pumps.
C. 
Grease pit, unless the pit is cleaned by methods not using sewers.
D. 
Air-conditioning equipment.
E. 
Stormwater inlets or catch basins.
F. 
Drains from equipment or manufacturing, unless specifically authorized under the provisions of this section.
G. 
Garbage grinders.
All costs and expenses, incidents and installation, connection and maintenance of the building, sewer and house connections, where not provided, shall be borne by the owner.
The owner shall indemnify the Township from any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation of the building sewer.
The maintenance of the building sewer shall be the responsibility of the owner of the property served and not of the municipality.
