The owner of every house, building or property used for human
occupancy, employment, recreation or other purpose, situated within
the Borough and abutting on any street, alley or right-of-way, or
located in the rear of other properties so abutting and having access
to such street in which there is now located or may in the future
be located a public sanitary sewer of the Borough, is hereby required
at his expense to install suitable toilet facilities therein, and
to connect such facilities directly with the proper public sewer in
accordance with the provisions of this ordinance and the requirements
of the Waldwick Board of Health, within six (6) months after the date
of completion of the sanitary sewer system, and after official notification

As public sewers become available to property presently being
served by a private sewage-disposal system, a direct connection shall
