A. 
In accordance with the provisions of § 279-2D, no person shall make any connection with the sanitary sewerage system unless and until a permit for that purpose has been obtained from the Construction Official.
B. 
An application for a permit shall be made in writing, signed by the applicant, to the Construction Official setting forth the date, the name of the owner and the location of the premises, number of rooms in respective buildings located on or about to be located on the premises and the name of the plumber. In addition, the submission of appropriate plans shall be approved by the Township Engineer who shall also be authorized to approve/endorse/sign applicable sewer applications to be submitted to the Rahway Valley Sewerage Authority and/or the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection on behalf of the Township without additional action by the governing body.
C. 
Upon the filing of the application and payment of the connection fee of $750 per each equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) for the premises payable to "Township of Clark," the permit shall be issued, provided that a certificate from the Plumbing Subcode Official accompany and be filed with the application to connect the sanitary sewer system. For the purpose of inspection, all trenches wherein any pipes shall be laid shall be left open until after the construction improvement (pipes, fittings, bedding) have been inspected and approved as hereinabove provided.
A. 
The sewer connection fee shall be $750 per equivalent dwelling unit (EDUC). The projected average daily flow for nonresidential uses shall be taken from "Projected Flow Criteria," found in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-23.3, and shall be divided by 300 to calculate the EDUs for that particular use. Any fractional EDU result shall be rounded up to the next whole number.

Sewer connection fees will be imposed if three conditions are found to exist:
(1) 
A new physical connection to the system is made either directly at the main or indirectly on the property.
(2) 
There is an impact on the system as a result of increased water or sewer flow for the property.
(3)
