In the event of the nonpayment of the sewer charges for a period of 30 days, in addition to the above late charges, the Board of Commissioners of the Borough of Mount Ephraim may cause the sewer connection to be disconnected following sufficient notice. Thereafter, the defaulting users may not again use the sewer facilities until after paying all arrearages plus new connection fee as set forth in Chapter 165, Article II, Fee Schedule.[2]

Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I).
In cases where the character of the sewage or industrial wastes discharged from any building or premises is such that it imposes an additional burden upon the sewerage system disposal facilities different from that imposed by the average sewage entering said sewerage system or sewerage disposal facilities, the additional cost necessitated thereby shall be an additional charge over the rates hereinabove set forth.
Where there shall be construction of or the establishment of any new additional commercial or industrial units, the rental charge shall be made upon a rate comparable to similar or comparable existing units, and if there shall be any question of dispute in respect to said rental charge, final determination shall be made by the Board of Commissioners of the Borough of Mount Ephraim.
The Borough of Mount Ephraim reserves the right to change or alter any and all of the rates established herein.
Violations of this article shall be punishable as provided in the penalty provisions contained in Chapter 305, Penalties.
