Editor's Note: The Borough's connection standards
were approved July 11, 2005.
[Amended 4-8-1996 by Ord. No. 475[1]]
Applications for new water service and renewal
of existing or previous water services, or requests for discontinuance
of water service, shall be made by the owner of the property. Such
application shall be made to the Director of Public Works and shall
bind the owner and any other consumer, including, without limitation,
a tenant and all subsequent owners and other consumers to which water
service is furnished. By the signing of the application for water
service, the owner signifies his understanding and agreement that
if the owner elects to lease the property to a tenant or allow the
property to be occupied by a person other than the owner, the owner
of the property shall nevertheless remain responsible and liable for
the payment of any bills for water service not timely paid. The acceptance
of water service by any consumer shall represent an agreement between
the Borough and the consumer. No person shall connect a property to
the water system until the Director of Public Works has issued a connection
permit.
The form of said application shall be presented
by the Borough Council. It shall specify the name of the applicant,
the location of the property to be serviced, and the size of the service
line and size of meter if desired. Upon approval of said application
and the payment of any tapping and/or connection fees imposed by resolution
of the Borough, a connection permit shall be issued.
