As necessity may arise, as in the case of breakdown, emergency
or for any other unavoidable cause, the Township shall have the right
to temporarily cut off its sewer service to make necessary repairs,
connections or other work, using all reasonable and practicable measures
to notify the occupants of the premises of such discontinuance of
service and the probable duration of such discontinuance. The Township
undertakes to use reasonable care and diligence to provide sewer service
to its lines but does not undertake to render any special service
or to maintain any privately owned or household fixture or definite
quantity of use, and in the event of the occurrence of any break,
failure or incident or damage to property or of injuries by act of
God or by public enemy, and unless caused by its negligence, the Township
shall not be liable therefor.
The Township shall have the right to alter, amend or vary these
regulations from time to time.
A copy of these rules and regulations, as adopted, and as changed
from time to time, shall be kept on permanent file in the offices
of the Township, open to public examination during regular business
hours. Copies thereof shall be furnished to customers of the Township
upon request.
The waiver or a breach of any of the rules and regulations herein
set forth shall not be deemed to waive any subsequent breach of such
rules and regulations.
