The sewer system of the Township is the sewer collection system
presently constructed in the roadway or easements and servicing all
of the many adjoining properties in the Township. The sewer collection
system will consist of the main sewer line and all manholes.
The sewer connections (sewer lateral) shall be as described
below: The sewer lateral shall be the portion from the sewer collection
system of the Township, which shall include the connection to the
system to the building sewer/drain.
It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to make
all necessary repairs to any existing sewer and or new sewer laterals.
The cost of such repairs shall be at the property owner's sole
expense.
It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to clean
and maintain, at the property owner's sole expense, the entire
sewer connection, whether such connection was constructed by the Township
or otherwise. The entire sewer connection includes the sewer lateral
and all piping and any appurtenances from the building to the sewer
collection system.
Where there are no existing laterals and it is determined by
the Township that there is a need to install a new sewer lateral,
it shall be the sole responsibility of the property owner to install
the sewer lateral and/or connection to the sewer collection system,
at the property owner's sole cost and at no expense to the Township.
