The owners of all houses, buildings and properties situated
within the Township, and abutting on any street, alley or right-of-way
in which there is now located or may in the future be located a public
sanitary sewer of the Township, (including Chester Avenue, in which
a sewer main may be physically within the limits of the Township of
Riverside), are hereby required at their expense to connect all sanitary
and other plumbing facilities directly with the public sewer, in accordance
with Rules and Regulations of the Department prior to the issuance
of a certificate of occupancy.
The owners of all houses, buildings and properties having approved
private sanitary sewer facilities will be required at their expense
to connect all available sanitary and other plumbing facilities directly
with the public sewer line within six months after completion of a
sewer line within any street, alley or right of way abutting such
houses, buildings and properties. After such connection has been made,
the use of the private sanitary sewer facility shall be discontinued
and such private sanitary sewer facility shall be emptied and filled
with fresh earth and shall not thereafter be used as a receptacle
for sewerage waste of any kind.
If the owner of any building located within the Township shall fail to make any connection or installation required to be made under the provisions of this chapter within the time herein required, the Township may proceed to make such connection or installation, or cause same to be made, and charge and assess the cost thereof against such property pursuant to the provisions of N.J.S.A. 40A:26A-1 et seq. and §
1-6 of the Code of Delran Township.
