No authorized person shall uncover, make any connection with
or opening into, use, alter or disturb any public sanitary sewer or
appurtenance thereto or engage in the business of installing, constructing,
altering, repairing or reconstructing any building sewer without first
obtaining a written permit from the Sewer Inspector.
An application for a building sewer installation permit, supplemented by plans, licenses, performance bonds, engineering studies and other pertinent information outlined in Article
III, shall be submitted to the Sewer Inspector prior to the award of a written permit.
All costs incident to the installation and connection of the
building sewer shall be borne by the owner. The owner shall indemnify
the Borough from any loss or damage that may, directly or indirectly,
be occasioned by the installation of the building sewer.
The permit required shall be displayed prominently upon the
improved property to be connected to the public sanitary sewer at
all times during construction of the building sewer.
The issuance of a permit for the making of a connection shall
not relieve the owner or his agent or any person presuming to act
under the authority of such permit from obtaining any additional permits
required by law, ordinance or regulation for the opening of streets
or roads, the discharge of certain wastes, the construction of buildings
or the like.
A permit may be revoked at any time by the Sewer Inspector, in writing, for any violation of this Part
1 or for violation of any condition upon which the permit was issued or for a refusal to allow inspection by the Sewer Inspector.
No permit issued under the provisions of this Part
1 may be transferred for any reason whatsoever.
The Borough may refuse connection of any improved property to
the local sewerage system or compel discontinuance of sewer use by
any person until such time as all provisions of this article have
been complied with or otherwise to prevent infiltration of stormwater
or groundwater or the discharge of waste prohibited by the rules and
regulations promulgated by the Pequannock, Lincoln Park and Fairfield
Sewerage Authority or otherwise deemed harmful to the sanitary sewer
system by the Engineer.
A building sewer permittee shall notify the Sewer Inspector
at least 24 hours in advance of any required inspection. Inspection
shall be required when the service lateral is tapped and connection
is made thereto and prior to backfilling the trench.
