Except where physical conditions prevent the installation of
separate facilities as determined, in writing, by the Township, separate
connections to the public sewers will be required for each individual
occupied building, whether constructed as a detached unit or as one
of a pair or row, but a single connection will be permitted to serve
a school, factory, apartment house or other permanent multiple unit
structure whose individual apartments or units may not be subject
to separate ownership. The Township, however, assumes no obligation
or responsibility caused by or resulting from any permitted single
connections aforementioned.
A.Â
The Township will inspect service line connections in accordance with Article VI, and maintain at the Township's cost all service line connections and inspect all connections to sewage collection lines, the said service line connection to be the property of the Township and remain under its control.
B.Â
Only duly authorized employees or agents of the Township will be
permitted to inspect a service line connection from the sewer lines
of the Township to the property line of the premises of the customer.
C.Â
The installation of all service line connections is subject to the submission of a written application to the Township, as set forth in Article VI, to such requests being reasonable, to approval thereof by the Township and to the payments of such charges for the service line connection installation as are in effect at the time of the application, said charges to be payable in advance. Where the Township charges a fee for issuing a permit or permits for street or road openings, the amount of such fee will be charged to the applicant in addition to the other charges.
D.Â
The Township reserves the right to defer the installation of service
connections during inclement weather until such times as, in the judgment
of the Township, conditions are suitable for an expeditious and economical
installation.
Service line connections will not be installed on property other
than that of the premises to be served unless the owner of the premises
obtaining such service assumes all liability.
A service line will be used to provide sewage service to a single
customer only, except where otherwise authorized, and no premises
shall have more than one service connection, in which event the Township
may agree to the installation and use of more than one such connection.
Where two adjoining premises lie on the opposite side of a road from
the sewer, the Township may elect to connect both houses into the
same service line connection.
The customer shall pay for the cost of relocation of all service
line connections made at his request or for his convenience.
The Inspector of the Township, properly identified, shall have
access to the customer's premises at all reasonable hours for
the purpose of testing, inspection, repair and/or replacement of service
line connections. The Township shall have the authority to make such
excavations as are required for proper execution of the work.
