which transmits sewerage to the truck, interceptor or treatment facilities
of the Joint Meeting of Essex and Union County.
SERVICE CONNECTION
The sanitary sewer line running from the building to the
main (sanitary sewer system) in the street.
TOWNSHIP
The Township of Irvington in the County of Essex.
Any building used in whole or part as a dwelling or which requires
or uses sanitary sewerage disposal and which is within 200 feet or
such other reasonable distance from the sanitary sewer system as determined
by the administrative authority, now or hereafter, shall be connected
to the sanitary sewer system:
A. Existing buildings: within 180 days after adoption of this chapter.
B. New buildings: prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
C. Buildings on a street in which a sanitary sewer system is hereafter
constructed: within 180 days after completion of the construction
of said system.
Hereafter, before any building service connection is connected
to the sanitary sewer system by any owner of property or his agents,
said owner shall make application to the Township Engineer on applications
furnished for that purpose and pay the Township a connection charge
of $150 per equivalent dwelling unit.

building permit, whichever occurs first.
B. Determination of fee.
(1) The connection fee provided for in this chapter is based upon the
flow from a four-inch-diameter individual residential service connection
and the flows generated by the same. Where a connection is to serve
more than one residential unit, the connection charge shall apply
to each equivalent dwelling unit tributary to the connection.
(2) When larger connections are required as for commercial or industrial
uses, the connection fee shall increase based upon the available capacity
of the connection in accordance with the following table:
