[Adopted 9-10-1980 by Ord. No. 80-3]
No person shall connect any improved property
with any part of the sewer system without first making application
for and securing a permit, in writing, from the Township, as provided
for by ordinance of the Township. Such application shall be made on
a form to be provided by the Township.
This Township does charge a tapping/connection fee, in the amount set forth in § 123-28, against the owner of any improved property whenever such owner hereafter shall connect any such improved property with the sewer system. Such tapping/connection fee is charged for connection of each such improved property by the owner of such improved property.
[Last amended 3-6-2018 by Ord. No. 18-03]
The amount of the tapping/connection fee for connection of each
improved property in the Lower Frederick Township sewer system shall
be set by resolution.
The tapping/connection fee shall be due and payable at the time application is made to the Township to make any such connection to the sewer system, as provided in § 123-26, or upon the date when the Township shall connect any such improved property to the sewer system, at the cost and expense of the owner, when such owner shall have failed to make such connection as required by the Township pursuant to the provisions of the ordinance then in effect requiring such connection.
All tapping/connection fees shall be payable
to the Secretary of the Township, or to such other officer or representative
of the Township as shall be authorized, from time to time, by designation
of the Board of Supervisors, to accept payment thereof.
This Township covenants and agrees to deposit,
within seven days of the date of collection, any tapping/connection
fees charged and collected in its sewer revenue account, to be established
pursuant to its loan agreement with Union National Bank and Trust
Company. The Township agrees to make such transfers and deposits so
long as the loan with UNB is in effect.
Payment of tapping/connection fees charged by
this Township pursuant to this article shall be enforced by this article
in any manner appropriate under laws at the time in effect.
The Township reserves the right, from time to
time, to adopt modifications of, supplements to or amendments of this
article.
