Any owner of property not within an ordained sanitary sewer
district of the Township of Wilkins and which has not been assessed
for any costs of construction for a sanitary sewer may make application
to the Board of Commissioners for permission to drain sanitary sewage
from such property through the sanitary sewer system constructed in
any district.
The application shall be accompanied by a plan showing the dimensions
of the property, the location of any buildings existing or proposed,
the number of dwelling units constructed or to be constructed within
said buildings and the method of flow and connection to any existing
sanitary sewer.
The application shall be reviewed by the Township Engineer,
and if it appears that the sanitary sewage system through which the
applicant's property will drain is capable of carrying the proposed
sewage and that the proposed drainage is otherwise in conformance
with the Township's Master Sewage Plan, the Board of Commissioners
may authorize the requested connection.
Each applicant for connection to the Township's sanitary sewage
system under the aforesaid circumstances shall pay concurrently with
the issuance of a connection permit one connection fee or sewer rental
fee based upon the following formula:
A. The total costs of construction of any sanitary sewage system in
any one or more districts through which the applicant's sewage will
flow shall be divided by the total number of feet of sewer line constructed
therein.
B. The foot frontage of the applicant's property shall be multiplied
by the quotient, and the applicant shall pay 1/2 of the product or
the sum of $1,000, whichever is greater.
Payment of the connection fee or sewer rental as above set forth shall not be considered to be in lieu of the tap-in fee required by Article
V, but shall be in addition thereto.
