All costs and expenses of construction of a building sewer and
all costs and expenses of connection of a building sewer to a lateral

Township and the Township Authority 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 lateral
or sewer.

A building sewer shall be connected to a sewer at the place designated
by the Township or where the lateral is provided.
2.
The invert of a building sewer at the point of connection shall be
at the same elevation as or a higher elevation than the invert of
the lateral or sewer. A smooth, neat joint shall be made and the connection
of a building sewer to the lateral shall be made secure and watertight.
[Ord. 72, 3/11/1963]
If the owner of any improved property located in the Township and accessible to and whose principal building is within 150 feet of the sewer system, after 60 days' notice from the Township, in accordance with § 18-111, shall fail to connect such improved property as required, this Township may make such connection and may collect from such owner the costs and expenses thereof. In such case, the Township shall forthwith, upon completion of the work, send an itemized bill of the cost of the construction of such connection to the owner of the improved property to which connection has been so made, which bill shall be payable forthwith. In case of neglect or refusal by the owner of such improved property to pay said bill, the Township shall file municipal liens for said construction within six months of the date of the completion of the construction of said connection, the same to be subject in all respects to the general law provided for the filing and recovery of municipal liens.
