No person shall uncover, connect with, make
any opening into or use, alter or disturb in any manner any sewer
or any part of the sewer system without first obtaining a permit,
in writing, from the Authority.
Except as otherwise provided in this section,
each improved property shall be connected separately and independently
with a sewer through a building sewer. Grouping of more than one improved
property on one building sewer shall not be permitted except under
special circumstances and for good sanitary reasons or other good
cause shown, and then only after special permission of this Borough
and the Authority, in writing, shall have been secured.
All costs and expenses of construction of a
building sewer and all costs and expenses of connection of a building
sewer to a sewer, including testing, shall be borne by the owner of
the improved property to be connected, and such owner shall indemnify
and save harmless this Borough and the Authority from all loss or
damage that may be occasioned, directly or indirectly, as a result
of construction of a building sewer or of connection of a building
sewer to a sewer.
If the owner of any improved property benefited, improved or accommodated by a sewer, after 45 days' notice from this Borough requiring the connection of such improved property with a sewer in accordance with §
269-2, shall fail to connect such improved property as required, this Borough may make such connection and may collect from such owner the costs and expenses thereof by a municipal claim, an action in assumpsit or such other legal proceeding as may be permitted by law.
