All applications for service must be in the form provided by the Borough, and signed by the owner or owners of the improved property to which sewer service can or will be provided, except that where a lessee of the improved property occupies or uses the improved property under a lease having a fixed term of 12 months or more, a lessee may make an application for service in his, her or its name.
A new application must be made to the Borough upon any change in ownership where the owner of the improved property is the user, or upon any change in the identity of a lessee where a lessee of the improved property is the user. The Borough shall have the right to discontinue water and/or sewer service upon three days' notice if a new application has not been made for the new user.
No transfer, sale or conveyance of interest in or of an improved property shall occur until the property being transferred is in compliance with this Part 3 and any rules/regulations promulgated hereunder by the Borough. Any costs incurred to bring the property into compliance shall be borne by the property owner(s). Prior to the transfer of the property, an inspection shall be conducted as per § 425-67E.
An application for service shall be considered accepted by the Borough only upon written approval by the Borough. The Borough may, at its sole discretion, provide service to the applicant pending review and acceptance of the application.
No person shall uncover, connect with, make any opening into or shall use, alter or disturb, in any manner, any sewer or any part of the sewer system without first obtaining approval, in writing, from the Borough.
No person shall make or shall cause to be made a connection of any improved property with a sewer until such person shall have fulfilled each of the following conditions:
A. 
Such person shall have notified the designated representative of the Borough of the desire and intention to connect such improved property to a sewer;
B. 
Such person shall have applied for and shall have obtained approval as required by § 425-53;
C. 
Such person shall have given the designated representative of the Borough at least 48 hours' notice of the time when such connection will be made so that the Borough may supervise and inspect or may cause to be supervised and inspected the work of connection and necessary testing;
D. 
If applicable, such person shall have furnished satisfactory evidence to the designated representative of the Borough that any fee that may be charged and imposed by the Borough against the owner of each improved property who connects such improved property to a sewer has been paid; and
E. 
Such person shall provide satisfactory evidence that notification of any excavation has been placed through the Pennsylvania One Call System.
A. 
All costs and expenses of construction of a service line and all costs and expenses of connection of a service line to a lateral, including testing, shall be borne by the owner of the improved property to be connected, and such owner shall indemnify and shall save harmless the Borough from all loss or damage that may be occasioned, directly or indirectly, as a result of construction of a service line or of connection of a service line to a sewer.
B. 
A service line shall be connected to a lateral sewer and to a sewer at the place designated by the Borough, and where, if applicable, the lateral is provided.
C. 
The invert of a service line at the point of connection to the lateral sewer shall be at the same or a higher elevation than the invert of the sewer. A smooth, neat joint shall be made and the connection of a service line to the lateral sewer shall be made secure and watertight.
D. 
All lateral sewers shall be the property of the Borough. The actual cost for maintenance and repair of laterals may be charged to the owner of the improved property serviced by said lateral at the discretion of the Borough, and consistent with any rules/regulations promulgated hereunder.
A. 
Except as otherwise provided in this section, each improved property shall be connected separately and independently with a sewer through a service line. Grouping of more than one improved property shall be prohibited and grouping of more than one structure on a single improved property on one service line shall be only at the sole discretion of the Borough, under special circumstances and for appropriate sanitary reasons or other good cause shown, but then only after special permission, in writing, from the Borough, consistent with this Part 3 and such rules/regulations and conditions as may be prescribed by the Borough.
B. 
Multiple structure connections existing at the time of enactment of this Part 3 are grandfathered; however, such connections are subject to all terms of this Part 3 and any rules/regulations promulgated hereunder. Should there be any need to repair the service line/lateral, separate facilities (i.e., service line and lateral) shall be required. Owners of the new/separate service line shall be responsible for costs of any construction/connection.
C. 
The Borough shall not be responsible for any damages/losses suffered as a result of any grandfathered multiple-structure connection(s).
In the case of temporary service for short-term use, the Borough may require the customer to pay all costs of making the service connection and removing the material after the service has been discontinued, or to pay a fixed amount in advance to cover such expenses.
