other statutes heretofore or hereafter enacted and applicable thereto.
[2002 Code § 13.04.030]

As used in this section:
Shall mean the Two Rivers Water Reclamation Authority.

constructed and designed or used for dwelling or other use or occupancy
by persons, either temporary or permanent.
Shall mean the ninetieth day following the service of a notice
from the Borough that a sewer is available to serve as a building
except that in the case of a building completed subsequent to the
availability of a sewer to the premises on which a building is located,
"connection date" shall mean the date of the initial occupancy of
the building or the date of the issuance of a certificate of occupancy
therefor, whichever of the dates shall be the earlier.
A property shall be deemed to front on the system if any
of its boundaries abut a street or easement at a point opposite a
sewer in such a street or easement which is part of a sewer of the
authority or where a building is located upon a street or easement
in which a sewer is now or hereafter constructed.
Shall mean any sewer or main designed or used for collection
or disposal of sanitary sewage within the Borough.
[2002 Code § 13.08.020]
Every connection required by this section shall be made in a
manner to discharge into the sewer, all waste and sanitary sewage
originating in the building in accordance with and subject to the
rules and regulations as well as sewer system standards heretofore
or hereafter adopted by the Authority which connection shall be subject
to the right of inspection and approval by the Authority. All connection
charges, service charges and inspection fees imposed by the Authority
under its rules and regulations or rate schedules, nor or hereafter
adopted by the Authority shall be paid promptly when due.
[2002 Code § 13.08.030]
The owner of each building located on property which now or
hereafter fronts upon a sewer or is located upon any street in the
Borough in which a sewer is now or hereafter constructed shall connect
such building and property with the sewer prior to the connection
date for the purpose of delivering sewage from each building into
the sewer. The connection shall be subject to and in conformity with
the rules and regulations and sewer system standards heretofore or
hereafter adopted by the Authority regulating and providing for the
improvement, maintenance and repair of such connections and prescribing
the kind of materials to be used in the original connection and in
improving and repairing the same and the method of doing the same.
Unless a toilet is already installed therein, every owner of such
building shall install at least one toilet therein and connect such
building and every toilet therein with the sewer.
[2002 Code § 13.08.040]
The Authority shall have the right to inspect the connections
as well as the sanitary sewerage facilities which are used in discharging
through such connections into the mains of the Authority, except that
the Authority shall charge no fee for inspections or approval of such
connections beyond the line of the public right-of-way or easement,
in which the main to which such connection is made, is situated.
[2002 Code § 13.08.050]
The Borough Clerk shall mail a notice to connect on a form furnished
by the Authority to every owner of a building and property located
within the area in the Borough in which a sewer shall have been installed

notice to connect as soon as possible following receipt of written
notification from the Authority, describing the area within which
such sewer is available to receive sewage. The Borough Clerk shall

the notice to connect has been served to the authority.
[2002 Code § 13.08.060]
If the owner of any property affected by this section shall
neglect, after notice is given to make any such sewer connection or
installation of toilet, the Borough may cause such connection or installation
to be made under its direction and supervision or award one or more
contracts for the making of such improvement, and such sewer connection
or installation charge shall bear interest and be a first and paramount
lien against the respective property so connected with the sewer to
the same extent as assessments for local improvements, and shall be
collected and enforced in the same manner.

No owner, occupant, or tenant of residential, educational, religious,
commercial, or industrial properties shall connect or maintain the
