A separate application shall be filed and a separate permit obtained for each separate store, apartment or suite in any multiple-use or -purpose building. Said application and permit shall be signed by the owner of the property or his duly authorized agent in writing. A charge in the amount provided for in Chapter 73, Fees, payable in advance to the Borough Tax Collector, shall be made for each permit to connect with the sewer systems of the Borough of Oaklyn; provided, however, that in any case where a sewer main and house connection is installed and constructed by the Borough of Oaklyn and the costs thereof assessed against the property benefited thereby, the fee for said premises shall be as provided for in Chapter 73, Fees, for each permit.
No connection shall be made to the said sewer
system except by a licensed registered plumber and only under the
supervision and approval of the Superintendent of Sewers. The procedure
for such connection shall be as follows:
A.
Upon receiving the permit as aforesaid, the applicant
shall forthwith inform the Superintendent of Sewers at what time on
the following day, or as soon thereafter as may be possible, the trench
will be opened and the main uncovered and ready for the connection
with the lateral.
B.
The applicant shall, at his own cost or expense, make
or cause to be made all necessary excavations in the street or highway
without damage to the main, shall cause the paving and earth so excavated
to be deposited in a manner which will occasion the least inconvenience
to the public, shall provide for the passage of water along the gutters,
shall cause the paving, flagging and roadbed to be restored as quickly
as possible to as good a condition as the same was prior to excavation
and shall also be responsible for all damage by reason of all such
excavation and for the imperfect filling in of same. In any cases
where the highway or road or street must be left open at night, the
same must be barricaded and marked with the proper danger signals.
