Failure on the part of the Borough or any user
in any instance or under any circumstances to observe or fully perform
any obligation assumed by or imposed upon it by the foregoing chapter
or by law shall not make the Borough liable in damages to any user
or relieve any user from making any payment to the Borough or fully
performing any other obligation required of it but such user may have
and pursue any and all other remedies provided by law for compelling
performance by the Borough of said obligation assumed by or imposed
upon the Borough.
Acceptance by the Borough into the local system
of sewage or other wastes in volume or at a rate or with characteristics
exceeding or violating any limit or restriction provided for by or
pursuant to this chapter in one or more instances or under one or
more circumstances shall not constitute a waiver of such limit or
restriction or of any of the provisions of this chapter and shall
not in any way obligate the Borough thereafter to accept or make provision
for sewage or wastes delivered into the system in a volume or at a
rate or with characteristics exceeding or violating any such limit
or restriction in any other instance or under any other circumstance.
Whenever, under the terms of this chapter, the
Borough is authorized to give its written consent, the Borough, in
its discretion, may give or refuse such written consent and, if given,
may restrict, limit or condition such consent in such manner as it
shall deem advisable.
The Borough reserves the right to amend this
chapter or to adopt additional ordinances from time to time as it
shall deem necessary for the operation, maintenance and protection
of the local sewerage system, for meeting revised standards of influent
or effluent quality of any regulatory agencies having jurisdiction
in this regard, or for any other reason the Borough deems is desirable
or necessary for performing its functions. Any such amendments or
additions shall become effective within 15 days of their issuance
by the Borough or as may specifically be required by any federal or
state regulatory agency having jurisdiction.
References herein to laws, regulations, forms,
and other official documents shall be deemed to include amendments
or modifications hereinafter adopted or promulgated.
At such time as a public or private sewer system becomes available to a property presently served by an individual sewage disposal system, a direct connection shall be made to the public or private sewer system in compliance with Article
VIII of this chapter, and any septic tanks, cesspools, or similar waste facilities shall be abandoned and dismantled and filled with suitable material, under the direction of and subject to inspection by the Borough's agent.
No provision of this chapter is intended to
negate any provision of any other Borough ordinance as they may pertain
to the installation of any sanitary sewerage facilities due to land
subdivision or any other major construction project.
