[HISTORY: Adopted by the Council of the Borough of Milford
as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 12-20-1999 by Ord. No. 646-99]
The Milford Borough Common Council shall have the authority
to control the use of privately owned wells during periods of drought
as provided for herein.
The seriousness of drought conditions shall be established by
monitoring monthly rainfall amounts based on records maintained by
the Hunterdon County Office of Emergency Management and the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The criteria for establishing
drought conditions and the extent of the water emergency shall be
based on a three-month rolling average of precipitation reduced to
the equivalent inches of water, measure of stream flow, water quality,
groundwater levels and time of year and other relevant criteria. The
above factors shall also be utilized to determine the transition from
one level of water emergency to the next.
Whenever the three-month rolling average of rainfall is less
than 75% of the average monthly rainfall, the Milford Borough Common
Council shall have the authority to declare a Level 2 water emergency.
If a Level 2 water emergency is declared, the following shall be prohibited:
Whenever the three-month rolling average of rainfall is less
than 50% of the average monthly rainfall, the Borough of Milford Common
Council shall have the authority to declare a Level 1 water emergency.
If a Level 1 water emergency is declared, the following shall be prohibited
in addition to those items prohibited if a Level 2 water emergency
is declared:
A.
The watering of all plant growth, except commercially grown food
crops.
B.
The washing of vehicles, except by businesses engaged exclusively
in car washing or in those instances where a threat to the public
health exists.
C.
The washing of streets, driveways, sidewalks or paved areas.
D.
The serving of water in restaurants, clubs or eating places, unless
specifically requested by a patron.
E.
The use of fire hydrants by fire companies for testing fire apparatus
and for Fire Department drills except as is necessary in the interest
of public safety as specifically provided by the municipal government
and water provider, and the use of fire hydrants by the Milford Borough
Department of Public Works or its contractors and all others, except
as necessary for firefighting or protection purposes.[1]
F.
All water used for outdoor recreational purposes.
In the event that a Level 1 water emergency persists three months
after the declaration of the same by the Common Council and/or well
failures occur after a Level 1 emergency is declared, the Hunterdon
County Division of Public Health Services may impose further restrictions
as follows:
A.
The further restriction of water use to all sectors and the selective
curtailment of water use of large industrial users based upon water
consumption per work site, number of employees, the essential nature
of the industry and other pertinent data.
B.
After evaluating the essential nature of the industry and other pertinent
data, the first priority for curtailment shall be those industries
for high water use and low number of employees per work site relative
to such water use.
A.
For any person or entity wishing to be exempt, in whole or in part,
from the curtailment of or ban on residential and industrial uses
as a result of a Level 2 or Level 1 water emergency declared by the
Common Council, such individual or entity may apply for an exemption
to the Milford Borough Common Council in accordance with the following
procedures:
(1)
The applicant shall submit his request for an exemption, together
with full documentation supporting the request, to the attention of
the Common Council.
(2)
The applicant's submission shall include a demonstration that extraordinary
hardship will occur and that no reasonable alternative exists if the
exemption is not granted.
B.
After reviewing the application, the Common Council shall notify
the applicant in writing of the results of this review and the reasons
for its decision on the exemption request. Before making a decision,
the Common Council may request the applicant to supply additional
information and documentation. An approval of an exemption request
by the Common Council may be rescinded should the public health, safety
and welfare require further reduction of water use.
For the purposes of this article, the following terms shall
have the following meanings:
Those nonresidential users excluding multiple dwellings and
health care facilities.
All users of water who reside in a single-family structure
housing no more than four families and a multiple-family dwelling
with no more than four families being served by one meter.
A declaration by the Common Council that there exists or
is impending a water supply shortage and/or water quality emergency
of such a dimension which sufficiently impacts water supply in the
form of the reduction of water levels in wells within the Borough
thereby endangering the public health, safety and welfare.
Prior to the declaration of an actual water emergency, the Common
Council may call for actions to be taken on a nonemergency basis to
reduce the likelihood or impact of an impending emergency or such
situations which involve a lack of precipitation by issuing a drought
warning to the residents of the Borough of Milford.
All users of water within the Borough of Milford are, during
drought conditions, subject to Phase 1 mandatory restrictions as defined
by the State of New Jersey and are subject to the following limitations:
A.

[Adopted 11-15-2021 by Ord. No. 932-2021]
Any applicant, with the consent of the property owner, within
the service area of the Borough of Milford water system may apply
to the Borough of Milford Water Department for water reservation.
An application for water reservation is required for any proposed
project that will require the construction of a new water main extension
for the service or any project that will generate an increase in demand,
as determined in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:10-12. If necessary, the
applicant shall be responsible to extend the Borough's water
main to the property and to construct other water system improvements
as may be necessary to reliably serve the proposed development in
accordance with the Borough's standards and any applicable water
service agreement and any reasonable standards established by the
Borough Engineer.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
Shall be depicted on the water service area map maintained
and periodically updated by the Borough of Milford Water Department,
showing all existing properties served, limits of existing water distribution
system infrastructure, and surrounded by a service area boundary.
Any project not fitting the definition of a "small water
project" for which the water reservation requested is 1,000 gallons
per day or greater or requires water system extension permits from
the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
Any project for which the water reservation amount requested
is less than 1,000 gallons per day.
An equivalent flow rate of 300 gallons per day (gpd) in order
to determine the water service connection fee.
The binding commitment of the Milford Water Department to
provide potable water service in sufficient quality and quantity to
a proposed project in accordance with applicable water system regulations
and standards. Project-specific conditions may require the formulation
and execution of a project-specific agreement addressing water supply
and infrastructure improvements beyond that established by the water
reservation ("water agreements"). A water reservation is valid for
one year and can be renewed in accordance with the review and renewal
procedures set forth herein.
The ability for the Milford Water Department to provide a
nonbinding, written confirmation of water availability for a particular
project located within the Milford Water Department's service
area. Said approval will only be provided if there is currently adequate
capacity in the Borough's water supply systems based on a firm
capacity calculation as defined by the NJDEP in N.J.A.C. 7:10-11.6(a),
using a peak daily demand as defined herein and prescribed under N.J.A.C.
7:10-11.4(a)(7), as well as sufficient water allocation established
by the NJDEP in its water allocation permits issued to the Borough
of Milford Water Department. The receipt of a will-serve letter by
an applicant does not preclude an applicant from applying for water
reservation as indicated above.
The application for water reservation shall be on the forms
prescribed by the Water Department, which shall include but not be
limited to the following:
A.
The name and address of the applicant;
B.
The address of the property and the tax lot and block designation;
C.
A description of the existing use of the property;
D.
A description of the proposed use of the property and/or the type
of building(s) to be constructed thereon;
E.

and/or any necessary variance approval, general development plan,
zoning permit or redevelopment plan of the proposed project indicating
the number of proposed lots and the proposed uses on each lot;
F.
Proof of submission to the Council on Affordable Housing requesting
substantive certification and/or an approved letter from the Council
on Affordable Housing which provides substantive certification for
municipally funded affordable housing projects, or a court-ordered
final judgment of repose as it relates to affordable housing within
the municipality in question;
G.
An estimate of the average daily water usage required by the proposed
use of the property;
H.
An estimate of the dates of anticipated water service connection
and water meter installation to the Borough's water system;
I.
An agreement by the applicant to abide by and accept all of the provisions
of this chapter and such rules and regulations as may be promulgated
by the Borough; and
J.
Any additional information as may be required by the Water Department
or its consulting engineer to assist in the processing of said application.
A.
All applications for water reservation will be reviewed for completeness
and, once deemed complete, assigned a water reservation number and
forwarded for review based upon the order in which they were received
by the Water Department Clerk. The priority in terms of allocating
capacity shall be based upon the order in which water reservation
applications are approved by the Water Superintendent, Borough Engineer
and Water Commissioner, with the exception of affordable housing projects
that are fully funded by the municipality and can provide proof of
submission to the Council on Affordable Housing requesting substantive
certification and/or written confirmation from the New Jersey Council
on Affordable Housing (COAH) that their project has received substantive
certification and/or a court-ordered final judgment of repose as it
relates to affordable housing within the municipality in question.
Projects that fall under this category shall receive priority and,
if their application for water reservation is deemed complete, shall
have their water immediately reserved so long as the other conditions
in this section have been met. In the event a municipality has its
substantive certification rescinded by COAH, or should it abandon
the approved project, it will relinquish its rights to its approved
water reservation and said allocation will be available for future
applicants.
B.
Unless explicitly listed in this section or required by state or
federal law, no other factors shall determine the priority of a water
reservation.
A.
From the date of issue, an approved water reservation shall require
a contract prepared by the Borough of Milford to be fully executed
by and between the Borough and the applicant that, among other things,
shall incorporate all the terms and conditions of this section. No
approval of a water reservation shall be effective in the absence
of the aforementioned fully executed contract. An approved water reservation
shall be valid for a period of one year. Within 60 days of the expiration
of the water reservation, the Borough Engineer shall conduct a review
of the water reservation and may request supplemental information
from the applicant in order to establish the validity and currency
of the water reservation. Applicants must maintain their eligibility
for water reservation by conforming to the conditions of their applicable
land use approvals, obtaining regulatory approvals and documenting
the efforts taken to advance the proposed project. To extend the validity
period of the approved water reservation, developers must establish
that they have acted diligently and taken all reasonable steps to
advance the development of the proposed project. They must demonstrate
they have diligently pursued any required land use approvals, secured
or diligently pursued any other necessary approvals from other agencies
and acquired all necessary rights-of-way or easements. Developers
may be required to show evidence they have met these goals to preserve
their water reservation.
B.
The water reservation shall be void unless water service is actually
extended to the subject property during the time period for which
the water reservation is valid. The water reservation may be renewed
for longer periods at the discretion of the Milford Borough Common
Council following consultation with the Borough's Water Department
Commissioner to coincide with the expiration date of or an extension
granted for a permit issued by NJDEP to construct/modify/operate public
waterworks facilities relating to the subject project. The applicant
must apply to the Water Department for any such extensions in writing.
C.
In the event that the water service connection is not completed within
the period set forth above, the water reservation shall expire if
not renewed, and any portion of the water reservation for which connections
have not been made will revert to the Borough for use in addressing
other water reservation applications.
A water reservation fee in an amount to be determined in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the Water Department shall be paid
to the Water Department at the time of application and at each renewal.
Nonpayment of the water reservation fee will result in termination
of the water reservation.
Transfer of an approved water reservation is prohibited, with
the exception of affordable housing projects located within the same
municipality, provided that all interested parties consent. A water
reservation within the Borough's water supply system shall not
be traded, sold or otherwise reallocated by an applicant, unless the
property identified in the water reservation is sold to a new owner,
in which case the water reservation will run with the land to the
extent necessary to affect the intent of the water reservation. Water
reservations for any project on specific parcels of land shall not
be assignable to any other project. In the event that a project is
abandoned or the construction of the same does not utilize the entire
water reservation granted to it, the unused allocation shall revert
to the Borough and shall become available for water reservation in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this section. Should the
scope of a project change and additional water allocation is required,
the incremental increase in allocation requested shall be treated
as a new water reservation application.
A.
Application fee. An application fee, as provided in § 10-5A, of $750 shall be submitted upon the filing of the application. Said fee shall be used by the Borough to cover the administrative and professional costs associated with the review of the application.
B.

by the Borough of Milford by and between the Borough and the applicant
that, among other things, shall incorporate all the terms and conditions
of this section. No water reservation shall be approved unless the
Water Superintendent and/or Borough Engineer determines that there
is currently adequate capacity in the Borough's water supply
systems based on a firm capacity calculation as defined by the NJDEP
in N.J.A.C. 7:10-11.6(a), using a peak daily demand as defined herein
and prescribed under N.J.A.C. 7:10-11.4(a)(7), as well as sufficient
