The Township of Moorestown finds that the reduction
of the amount of extraneous flow to its sanitary sewer system is an
important public concern and is necessary in order to comply with
the New Jersey pollution discharge elimination system permit issued
to the Township of Moorestown. A portion of this extraneous flow enters
the sanitary sewer system via sump pumps, roof drains and other drainage
devices connected directly or indirectly to the Township's sanitary
sewer system. For the purpose of this article, a direct connection
is one that is intentionally installed in a manner which allows extraneous
flow to enter the sanitary sewer system by piping connected to the
sanitary sewer lines from any building or lot. Indirect sanitary sewer
connections are those which allow extraneous flow to enter via a device
such as a sink or floor drain.
