The contract shall be renegotiable at any time at the mutual

In the event that the Borough elects to participate in a regional
system, the contract shall be terminated upon the establishment of
a regional facility and shall be superseded by a new agreement among
the participants in the new facility.
No industrial waste shall be allowed by the Borough from the
Township unless agreed and consented to by the Borough.
The Township will properly prepare, adopt and pass an ordinance
which shall prohibit the Township residents or those connecting to
said Township sewer from connecting any roof drains, cellar drains
or any stormwater into the Township sewer system, and shall further
provide that all connections to the Township sewer system shall leave
the basement or foundation of the dwelling or building thereby connected

to the Township sewer shall be by four-inch-diameter cast-iron pipe
with lead-caulked joints and shall be connected under the supervision
of a qualified plumbing inspector to be appointed by the Township
as set forth in said ordinance, and provide for penalties therefor
and injunctive relief against the persons so violating the terms of
