The Township may assign an easement and right-of-way over, through
and under any and all roads, streets, lanes, courts, alleys, public
squares and other public properties of the Township for the purpose
of constructing, replacing, repairing, altering, maintaining and operating
a public sewer system and the lines requisite thereto in the Township,
to such an extent and in such locations it deems necessary, up to
and including the full width of any and all rights-of-way, easements,
streets, roads, lanes, courts, alleys and other properties of the
Township, together with free ingress, egress and regress therein,
thereto, thereon and thereunder, to hold the same for so long as the
Township shall be responsible for the treatment of waste and sewage
product.
A.
Sewers, drains and materials previously in use may be used in connection
with sewage drainage only when they are in a sanitary condition satisfactory
to the Township.
B.
Cleanouts shall be installed in each building sewer in a manner,
number and position which permits cleaning their entire length. There
shall never be fewer than two cleanouts in each building sewer if
the lateral exceeds 80 feet in length, or is spaced more than 50 feet
apart.
C.
All sewer mains shall connect into a manhole on a main sewer line.
D.
Special categories:
(1)
Every garage, service station or structure used for storing,
cleaning, selling or repairing automobiles shall be provided with
drains for the floors, repair pits, and other locations to catch drainage
and residue resulting from servicing or handling of cars, and the
incidents of such service. If the drainage area abuts a street with
sewer, it shall be connected with the sewer. The drainage shall be
conducted to an intercepting pit of tight construction, which shall
be ventilated by extending a pipe from it to a point two feet above
the roof. The pit shall be constructed to enable oils, gasoline, grease
and similar fluids, as well as sand, grit and other solids, to be
intercepted and excluded from the public sewage system. The Township
shall determine the size, location and type of pit to accommodate
the proposed drainage. To protect the sanitary sewers and public safety,
persons operating a garage or service station shall remove substances
accumulated therein frequently enough to prevent the pits and the
connecting pipes from becoming clogged.
(2)
Subhouse drains shall discharge into a sewage pump or receiving
tank, the contents of which shall be lifted and discharged by a sewage
grinder pump into the drainage system above the cellar floor by a
method approved by the Township.
(3)
No person or entity shall allow waters from floor drains, sump
pumps, wall gutters, roof leaders, French drains or perforated pipe
to be collected and dispatched into the public sewage system by any
direct or indirect means. No person shall connect or provide connection
for any of the aforementioned sources of waters to the internal sewage
line of any structure, structure line, sanitary sewer lateral or other
part of the public sewage system.
(4)
All restaurants, mini-marts, fast food franchises and all other
food preparation and sales facilities shall install and maintain a
grease trap and interceptor that shall meet the technical requirements
of the Township.
(5)
Drainage for trailer/mobile home/manufactured home parks or
courts:
(a)
Building sewers from individual trailer/mobile home/manufactured
home sites shall use service weight cast-iron pipe or SDR PVC, four
inches in diameter or larger, and shall be properly connected to not
fewer than one removable running trap to allow for cleaning, venting
and sealing. Each structural sewage line shall be extended vertically
to existing ground level and shall terminate not less than four inches
above ground level.
(b)
The four-inch building (lateral) sewer extension above ground
shall be located under the perimeter of the trailer/mobile home/manufactured
home. No trailer/mobile home/manufactured home connection shall be
permitted to a building sewer extension above ground which is not
located beneath the trailer.
(c)
The four-inch extension above ground shall be protected by a
concrete mound sufficient to prevent damage to the extension if it
is struck by a moving vehicle.
(d)
All above-ground building sewer extensions shall be sealed by
a fitted watertight cap when not in use.
(e)
A watertight connection between the trailer/mobile home/manufactured
home and the building lateral extension outlet shall be made by means
of a readily removable semi-rigid or flexible connector acceptable
to the Township.
(f)
Flexible connectors installed at the connection of the building
lateral extension outlet shall allow the connector to be readily removed
from the outlet without damage to the sewer lateral outlet.
(g)
A plumbing permit shall be required each time a trailer/mobile
home/manufactured home connection or disconnection is made. New connections
and transfers of trailers/mobile homes/manufactured homes already
within a park or court are not exempt from this requirement.
(h)
The requirements regarding inspection herein shall apply, except
that a yearly inspection of all connections within a trailer/mobile
home/manufactured home park or court shall be conducted by the Township.
(i)
All collector lines and building sewers shall be installed in
accordance with technical standards of the Township.
