the property line of the lot contains such house, building or structure
within one hundred fifty (150) feet of said sanitary sewer line, shall,
within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date on which the service
of such sewer is made available to such house, building or structure,

existing sewer service system, there shall be no current mandatory
connection to any existing structures otherwise serviced by an on-site
sewer system which has been installed less than five (5) years prior
to the availability of the public sewer main. This waiver is granted
provided that the property for which application for an interim waiver
is made, meets and satisfies the following conditions, as determined
by the Township.
[Added 3-27-01 by Ord. No. 0-07-2001]
(1) No partial or full funding source, including
any other governmental agency, has required mandatory connections
as a condition of receiving funds for the project costs.
(2) The Township Project Engineer certifies
the necessity for this project and that no other reasonable alternatives
are available to eliminate impact on residents not in need of said
improvement.
(3) The project was not initiated due to public
health and safety related issues to the area in which an interim waiver
application is submitted and otherwise is to support the overall Township
public sewer collection system, as certified by the Township Engineer.
(4) No public sewer main was available to the
property for connection purposes at the time construction or replacement
of the existing on-site sewer system took place or is to take place.
(5) The applicant fully completes an application
form provided by the Township and further provides any documentation
the Township determines necessary to authorize an interim waiver.
(6) That no later than the expiration of the
five (5) year waiver period established, the owner/applicant shall
connect to the public sewer system and be obligated to pay the amount
of connection fee ordained at that time, including any other costs
otherwise required for such a connection.
(7) That an interim waiver issued under the
provisions herein may be rescinded, and mandatory connection required,
should conditions change that would then not have allowed such a waiver
in the first instance.
(8) That the applicant/owner agrees to sign
an encumbrance document in recordable form that the waiver shall terminate
in the event the property is to be sold and that the connection fee
shall be paid and the physical connection made to the sewer collection
system prior to the closing date for the sale of the property. The
Township shall be the responsible party to record the encumbrance
document.
(9) Subject to paragraph (8) above, approval
of any interim waiver application shall also serve as due notice as
to when the mandatory connection shall otherwise take place and the
Township shall not be obligated to provide any subsequent notice to
enforce any provisions in this chapter.
(10)
An interim waiver shall expire upon
failure of the on-site sewer system or the need to install a new or
replacement on-site sewer system.
D. Sewer availability date. The date of availability
for connection to the public sewer system shall be the date on which
a Township written notice was first sent by first class mail to the
property owner of record in accordance with the Tax Assessor's Office
records of the Township of Winslow. The date used to establish the
age of any on-site sewer system shall be determined by the Township
by applying the following information:
[Added 3-27-01 by Ord. No. 0-07-2001]
(1) Date of initial occupancy authorization
for new structures which required the exclusive use of an on-site
sewer system when applicable.

If the owner of any house, building or structure referred to in §§
221-7 and
221-8 hereof shall fail to make any installation or connection required by this article within the time herein required, the Township may proceed to make such installation or connection or cause the same to be made and assess the cost thereof as a lien against such house, building or structure pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 40A:26A-1 et seq.
