The owner of any improved property abutting on, adjoining or
adjacent to, any street, easement or right-of-way in which there shall
have been constructed a sanitary sewer owned by the Authority forming
part of the Authority sewer system, where said property is accessible
thereto and any part of the principal building constructed on such
improved property is within 150 feet of such sewer, or such other
distance as provided in the local municipal ordinance, shall at his
own expense install suitable sanitary facilities and service lines
therein and connect such facilities directly with such Authority sewer
in accordance with the provisions of the local municipal ordinance
and of these Rules within ninety (90) days of official notice from
the municipality to do so, which notice shall have been given by personal
service or as otherwise provided or permitted by law.
A.
In the event that a property owner who is required to connect to
the sewer system fails to do so within the time allowed for such connection
by the Authority's current Rules and Regulations, or who fails to
timely connect such improved property to the sewer system in violation
of the local municipality's mandatory connection ordinance, the property
owner shall be treated as if connected to the sewer system on the
91st day after official notice.
B.
The sewer rental charges payable under these Rules and Regulations
and as set forth in Appendixes BC and BD of the Authority's Rules
and Regulations shall begin to accrue on the 91st day as if such property were connected to the sewer system on said
date, provided the following official notices have been given:
(1)
Official notice of mandatory connection is given to the property
owner by the municipality; and
(2)
Official notice is given to the property owner by the municipality
or by the Authority informing the property owner that they shall be
treated as if connected on the 91st day
following the date of such notice.
C.
Thereafter, the Authority shall bill such property owner for sewer
service in accordance with its normal billing procedures and such
sewer rental charges shall thereafter be due and payable in the normal
course, in accordance with the Authority's Rules and Regulations,
whether or not such property is connected to the Authority's sewer
system.
[Amended 10-22-2015 by Res. No. 15-10-003]
In the event any owner of such property shall refuse or neglect
to pay such rental charges, the Authority may take any and all actions
to collect as allowed by law, including but not limited to the termination
of water service and the filing and recovery of municipal liens.
