No person shall uncover, connect with, make any opening into or use, alter or disturb in any manner any sewer or any part of the sewer system, without first obtaining a permit, in writing, from this Borough.
Application for a permit required under § 400-8 shall be made by the owner of the improved property served or to be served.
No person shall make or 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 this Borough of the desire and intention to connect such improved property to a sewer.
B. 
Such person shall have applied for and obtained a permit as required by § 400-8.
C. 
Such person shall have given this Borough at least 24 hours' notice of the time when such connection will be made so that this Borough may supervise and inspect the work of connection and necessary testing.
D. 
Such person shall have furnished satisfactory evidence to this Borough that any tapping fee charged and imposed by the Authority against the owner of each improved property who connects such improved property to a sewer has been paid.
Except as otherwise provided in this section, each improved property shall be connected separately and independently with a sewer through a building sewer. Grouping of more than one improved property on one building sewer shall not be permitted except under special circumstances and for good sanitary reasons or other good cause shown, and then only after special permission of this Borough, in writing, shall have been secured and subject to such rules, regulations and conditions as may be prescribed by this Borough. Further, in the event that a single house connection is permitted to serve a double house, it will be necessary for both property owners to sign an agreement relieving the Authority and Borough of any responsibility or obligation caused by or resulting from installation of a single house connection. The agreement shall provide that any disagreement between the two parties concerning future maintenance of the common sewer will be sufficient cause for the Authority and/or this Borough to install an additional connection to the sewer main to provide individual service to both houses. The installation of such separate service lateral from the sewer main to the curb, as well as the house connection from the curb to the property, shall be made at the joint expense of the property owners signing the agreement.
All costs and expenses of construction of a building sewer and all costs and expenses of connection of a building sewer to a sewer, including testing, shall be borne by the owner of the improved property to be connected; and such owner shall indemnify and save harmless this Borough from all loss or damage that may be occasioned, directly or indirectly, as a result of construction of a building sewer or of connection of a building sewer to a sewer.
A building sewer shall be connected to a sewer at the place designated by this Borough and where the service lateral is provided. The invert of a building sewer at the point of connection 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 building sewer to the service lateral shall be made secure and watertight.
A. 
After construction of the sewer system has been completed, the service lateral shall be constructed from the collection sewer to the building sewer, by and at the expense of the owner who has obtained a permit, and, upon installation, shall become the property of the Authority.
B. 
Connections to the collection sewer where no branch or Y-fitting has been previously provided shall be made and a service lateral provided by this Borough.
A. 
Connections to service laterals, if of the same pipe size, shall be made by properly joining to the bell end of the service lateral provided. Where different types or sizes of materials are to be joined, an approved adapting fitting shall be used.
B. 
Projecting the smaller pipe into the larger and sealing will not be permitted. This applies also to the connection of the house drain to the building sewer pipe.
As the sewer system is constructed or extended and sewer service becomes available, if the owner of any improved property located within the Borough and accessible to and whose principal building is located within 150 feet of the sewer system, after 60 days' notice from this Borough requiring the connection of such improved property with a sewer, in accordance with § 400-2, shall fail to connect such improved property as required, this Borough may make such connection and may collect from such owner the costs and expenses thereof by a municipal claim, an action in assumpsit or such other legal proceeding as may be permitted by law.
