the Borough, upon 10 days written notice, may turn off the sewer from
the premises, and the water will not be turned on again until all
necessary repairs are made and all bills, including the charge of
$300 are paid in full. The Borough shall in no way be responsible
for maintenance of or for damage done by water waste escaping from
the service pipe or lateral or any other pipe or fixture beyond the
sewer main connection (on the outlet side thereto).
[Ord. No. 258 Art. 2 § 5]
If two or more customers are supplied with sewer use through
one service pipe or lateral under control of one curb and if any of
the parties so supplied shall violate sewer rules and regulations,
then the Borough reserves the right to apply its shutoff regulations
or policies to the joint service line. Such action shall not be taken
until the innocent customer who is not in violation of the Borough's

performed on the sewer line and will be held by the Borough for a
minimum period of three months or until recommended to be released
by the Borough Engineer. In the event that the owner and/or contractor
does not properly complete the repairs to the sewer line after notice
by the Borough Engineer, the Borough Engineer may utilize this deposit
to properly complete the repairs. The connection deposit will also
be in addition to any fees that may be required for a street opening
permit.
[Ord. No. 337 § 1]
The Borough must contend with the impact of heavy rainfall and
its potential for creating surcharge conditions upon its sanitary
sewer system. The condition is exacerbated by the gallonage added
to the sewer system by sump pump, floor drains, and the infiltration
of other than normal sanitary sewage improperly connected to their
sewerage systems. Additionally, the Borough has installed underground
discharge piping in certain areas of the Borough for the efficient
discharge of stormwater to avoid flooding in the roadways. It is in
the best interest of the Borough to require certain procedures governing
these issues.
[Ord. No. 337 § 2]
The purpose of this section, generally, is to promote compliance
with the rules and regulations of the Borough and its related agencies
and, specifically, to require that all such improper connections into
its system be removed. It is the further purpose of this section to
ensure that infiltration of unsanitary sewage be minimized to all
sewage disposal systems operating within the Borough.
[Ord. No. 337 § 3]
As used in this section:
Shall mean the normal water carrying household and toilet
waste from residences, and other establishments.
Shall mean all facilities and appurtenances connected with
the collection system, trunk system and laterals.
[Ord. No. 337 § 4]
No person shall violate the rules and regulations of the Township
of Sewage Authority ("TOSA") when applicable.
[Ord. No. 337 § 5]
No person shall connect any sump pump, floor drain and/or related
apparatus to any sanitary sewer line. The record title owner shall
be responsible under this subsection and shall be permitted to have
caused any such connection.
[Ord. No. 337 § 6]
No person shall permit, allow or suffer or cause the infiltration
of water or any other substance which is not normal sanitary sewage
as defined into the TOSA system or any other system operated within
the Borough. The record title owner shall be responsible under this
subsection and shall be presumed to have caused any such connection.
[Ord. No. 337 § 8]
a.
For public safety, health and welfare, residential property owners
shall be required to connect all sump pump, floor drain and related
apparatus to underground discharge piping where available in the Borough,
or as same becomes available on the ongoing basis. Such connection
shall be at the sole cost and expense of the resident unless otherwise
determined by the Borough Council.
b.
If the storm sewer discharge piping is not available, the sump pump
floor drain, and/or related apparatus discharge piping may be connected
underground through the curb opening to the gutter line, providing
that there is more than 0.5% gutter slope. In existing roadways, a
road opening permit shall be required from the Borough Hall.
c.
In all other cases, the discharge shall be directed to the nearest
ditches or contained on the owner's property so that it does
not adversely affect neighboring land.
[Ord. No. 337 § 9]
a.
Reasonable Basis to Inspect. Before any inspection is made of the suspected premises, the Borough and its agencies shall have a reasonable basis to suspect that a violation of subsection 16-5.4 through 16-5.6 has occurred. Such a reasonable basis shall exist whenever a petition supported by reasonable facts is filed with the Borough of the TOSA and/or whenever the Sanitary Inspector of the Board of Health or any other person duly authorized by the Borough to enforce the terms and conditions of this section so determines based on reasonable facts in that official's possession.
b.
Property Owner Consent.
1.
Upon satisfaction of paragraph (a) below, the Sanitary Inspector or other duly authorized representative shall visit the premises in question and request permission to inspect the premises for a violation of subsections 16-5.4 through 16-5.6. If permission is granted, entry shall not be made until the property owner has signed a written consent form to be supplied by the Borough. Once written permission is obtained, the Borough representative shall inspect the premises to determine if such violations of subsections 16-5.4 through 16-5.6 do exist. The premises shall be made available and accessible for such inspection by the property owner between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday; provided however, that the inspections may be made at other times, with the property owner's consent, if one of the following conditions exists:
(a)
The premises are not available during the foregoing hours for
inspection;
(b)
There is a reason to believe that violations are occurring on
the premises which can only be fully determined and proved by inspections
during other than the prescribed hours;
(c)
There is reason to believe that a violation exists of the character
which is immediate threat to health or safety, requiring inspection
without delay.
2.
Emergency inspections may be authorized if the Sanitary Inspector
or any other duly authorized person has reason to believe that a condition
exists which poses an immediate threat to life, health or safety.
c.
Search or Access Warrants. In the event written consent cannot be obtained, the Sanitary Inspector or any other duly authorized person may, upon affidavit, apply to the Judge of the Municipal Court for a search warrant setting forth factually the actual conditions and circumstances that provide a reasonable basis or believing that a violation of subsections 16-5.4 through 16-5.6 may exist on the premises. If the Judge of the Municipal Court is satisfied as to the matter set forth in the affidavit, he shall authorize the issuance of a search warrant permitting access to an inspection of that part of the premises on which the suspected violation of subsections 16-5.4 through 16-5.6 exists.
d.
Issuance of Warrant. If the inspection reveals infiltration of other
than normal sanitary sewage, for example, stormwater improperly connected
to the sanitary sewerage system, a warning and notice of abatement
shall be provided to the property owner. A disconnect shall be effected
by the property owner within 14 days of issuance of the warning.
e.
Reinspection. If, upon reinspection of the premises with written
consent or via a search warrant, the section violation has not been
abated, the Sanitary Inspector or any other duly authorized person
shall issue a summons for violation of this section.
[Ord. No. 337 § 10;
New]
b.
For the purposes of assessing penalties, the continuation of a particular
violation for each successive day shall constitute a separate offense
and the person or persons allowing or permitting the continuation
of the violation may be punished as provided above for each separate
violation.
c.
The imposition of a penalty, as provided hereinabove, shall be in
addition to any injunctive or remedial relief which is authorized
under the laws of the State of New Jersey with the same force and
effect as though provided for herein.
[Ord. No. 122, Preamble]
Whereas, the Borough of Interlaken has, since 1923, been an
owner of and serviced by a system of sewerage operated by the Interlaken-Township
of Ocean Joint Sewer Commission. The Interlaken-Township of Ocean
Joint Sewer Commission has been given notice by the State of New Jersey,
Department of Health that it must alter its plant and equipment so
as to secondarily treat sewerage in accordance with a time schedule
requiring the last phase of construction to be completed by November
30, 1970. The Township of Ocean Sewerage Authority has planned and
is constructed a comprehensive sewerage system to encompass all of
the Township of Ocean and the areas which are covered by the Interlaken-Township
of Ocean Joint Sewer Commission. The New Jersey State Department of
Health and the Monmouth County Planning Board have indicated their
approval of the design, plans and specifications of the comprehensive
sewer system of the Township of Ocean.
[Ord. No. 122 §§ 1,2,3]
