The Township of Middletown Sewerage Authority, heretofore established,
is hereby continued.
A.
There are in and about the Township of Middletown, in the County
of Monmouth, New Jersey, waters which are polluted and are subject
to pollution by sewage and industrial and other wastes arising from
causes within the Township. The Township Committee has ascertained
that there is imperative need to relieve such waters from pollution
and thereby reduce and ultimately abate the menace to the public health
resulting from such pollution.
B.
The Sewerage Authorities Law of the State of New Jersey (N.J.S.A.
40:14A-1 et seq.) grants power to every municipality of the state,
by means and through the agency of a sewerage authority, to acquire,
construct, maintain, operate or improve works for the collection,
treatment, purification or disposal of sewage or other wastes.
C.
The Township Committee has decided and hereby determines that it
is necessary and advisable and is in the best interests of the inhabitants
of said Township that there be created a Sewerage Authority pursuant
to said Sewerage Authorities Law as a public body corporate and politic
and an agency and instrumentality of the Township for the purposes
of the relief of waters in or bordering the state from pollution arising
from causes within said Township and the relief of waters in, bordering
or entering the Township from pollution, or threatened pollution,
and the consequent improvement of conditions affecting public health.
There is hereby created and established a Sewerage Authority
for the Township of Middletown, in the County of Monmouth, New Jersey,
under the corporate name and title of Township of Middletown Sewerage
Authority. The Township of Middletown Sewerage Authority shall have
and exercise all of the powers and perform all of the duties provided
for by N.J.S.A. 40:14A-1 et seq., as amended, together with any other
powers and duties which may hereafter be conferred by law upon sewerage
authorities.
