Every owner of property in the Township of White, whose property
abuts upon any public sanitary sewer presently constructed or to be
constructed in the future, shall connect at his own cost the building,
buildings, or other structures located on said property with the aforementioned
sanitary sewers for the purpose of disposing of all sanitary sewage
as is customarily disposed of in such a system of sanitary sewers.
Where any structure in the Township is now, or hereafter may
be, using any method for the disposal of sanitary sewage other than
through said public sanitary sewers, except as otherwise herein provided,
it shall be the duty of the Township Secretary or other person authorized
by the Township Supervisors to notify the owner, lessee or occupier
of such structure, in writing, either by personal service, certified
mail or registered mail, to disconnect the same and to make proper
connections for the discharge and disposal of the sewage through the
said public sanitary sewers, as herein provided, within 60 days after
receipt of such notice; provided, however, notwithstanding anything
herein contained to the contrary, no owner, tenant or occupier of
such structure shall be required to make a connection where his structure
is more than 150 feet from said public sanitary sewer.
At any time when no taps are available for connection to the
public sanitary sewer, an owner of property whose property abuts the
public sanitary sewer as herein provided may secure a permit from
the Township Sewage Enforcement Officer for the construction of a
sewage septic or treatment system as an alternate. Such a system,
if approved, will be constructed in accordance with the specifications,
rules and regulations of the Department of Environmental Protection.
Such a system, when constructed, may be used for the purpose of disposing
of sanitary sewage until taps to the public sanitary sewage system
become available, in which event the alternate sewage, septic or treatment
system provided for in this section must be abandoned within 60 days,
and any buildings erected on the property served by such alternative
sewage, septic or treatment system must be connected to the public
sanitary sewage system within said sixty-day period.
No person shall maliciously, willfully or negligently break, damage, destroy, contaminate, uncover, cover, deface or tamper with any structure, appurtenance or equipment which is a part of the Township's sewer system. Any person who violates this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of an offense and sentenced as provided in §
235-37B, plus the costs of repairs.
No agent or employee of the Township shall have authority to
bind it by any promise, agreement, or representation not provided
for in these rules without the approval of the Township Supervisors.
Complaints relative to the character of service furnished or
of bills rendered must be made in writing and delivered to the main
business office of the Township.
The Board of Supervisors of White Township hereby authorizes
employees of the Township to enter upon private property at all reasonable
times for the purpose of conducting inspections and investigations
to assure compliance with rules and regulations set forth herein.
