There presently exists a statewide moratorium.
During said state-imposed moratorium in the Borough of Runnemede,
the owner of any proposed realty improvement located on any public
street in the Borough of Runnemede, in which a sewer main is now constructed
or shall be hereafter constructed, shall prior to the connection date,
with respect to said realty improvement, provide all sewerage facilities
required.
In the event connection cannot be made to the
sanitary sewer system, the following requirements shall be met:
A.
Obtain all necessary county, state and federal approvals
as required by law.
Said owner shall install, simultaneously with
the septic system, the necessary lateral sewer lines running from
the realty improvement to the street for future connection to the
Borough system according to a plan approved by the Runnemede Borough
Sewerage Authority.[1] The installation shall be inspected and approved by the
Borough of Runnemede Plumbing Inspector.
Said owner shall agree in writing by letter to the Runnemede Borough Sewerage Authority to connect the lateral sewer lines to the system within the term and under the specifications of § 292-7 hereof, after sewerage becomes available by reason of the termination of the state-imposed moratorium.
Simultaneously with the execution of the above-written
agreement, said owner must pay the Runnemede Sewerage Authority the
prevailing connection and inspection fees and pay the prevailing fee
for any other permit required.
Application for a permit to install a septic
system must be reviewed and approved by the Camden County Health Department,
subsequent to prior written approval of a dry sewer line from the
Runnemede Sewerage Authority.
When the moratorium is lifted, a sewer connection
must be made within 60 days thereafter, and the septic system must
be properly terminated according to requirements set forth by the
Camden County Health Department.
