The Sussex County Municipal Utilities Authority, in order to improve
conditions affecting the public health, is ready to design, finance, construct
and put in operation an interceptor sewer system and sewage disposal plan
for the transmission, treatment and disposal of certain sanitary sewage and
other wastes, as generally described in the Facilities Plan for the Wallkill
Basin, certified by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection;
and it appears after due consideration that it is in the best interest of
the Borough of Hamburg to enter into an agreement with the Sussex County Municipal
Utilities Authority providing for and relating to the treatment and disposal
of sewage originating in the Borough by means of the interceptor sewer system
and sewage disposal plant and providing for the payment of the cost and expense
in connection therewith, under the terms of the agreement in this article.
The Borough does hereby determine that it will be economical and otherwise
advantageous to it to have sewage and other wastes treated and disposed of
by the Sussex County Municipal Utilities Authority substantially on the terms
of the contract authorized by this article.
The Borough shall enter into a contract with the Sussex County Municipal
Utilities Authority providing for and relating to the treatment and disposal
of sewage and other wastes and the cost and expense of such treatment and
disposal, on the terms and conditions and substantially in the form set forth
in this article, and the Mayor hereby is authorized and directed on behalf
of the Borough of Hamburg to execute the contract under the Corporate Seal
of the Borough of Hamburg, which shall be affixed and attested to by the Borough
Clerk, and to deliver the same.
Copies of the contract are on file in the office of the Borough Clerk
and will be made available to the members of the general public who shall
request the same.
The Sussex County Municipal Utilities Authority has been established
to provide for and maintain sewage disposal systems in the County of Sussex,
and pursuant thereto has initiated a program for municipalities within the
area of the Wallkill River; and the Wallkill River can assimilate only a certain
quantity of effluent from all of the municipalities within the area of the
Wallkill Basin, and the Sussex County Municipal Utilities Authority has prepared
a plan for the apportionment of the volume of sewage disposal to be allowed
each municipality within the Wallkill Basin area. The governing body of the
Borough of Hamburg has examined the plan proposed by the Sussex County Municipal
Utilities Authority and has approved the same, and the allocation allotted
to it.
The plan of the Sussex County Municipal Utilities Authority providing
for the allocation and apportionment of the volume of sewage disposal on a
proportionate basis to the Borough of Hamburg and the various other municipalities
involved in the Wallkill River Basin area is hereby approved in accordance
with the plan, a copy of which is on file in the office of the Borough Clerk
and is available to members of the general public who may examine the same.
The Mayor and Clerk of the Borough are hereby authorized to enter into an agreement with the Sussex County Municipal Utilities Authority approving the plan referred to in § 32-6 herein. A copy of the proposed agreement is on file in the office of the Borough Clerk and is available to members of the general public who may examine the same.
