Editor's Note: Ordinance No. 00-1022 provides for exceptions
for certain properties from the provisions of Ordinance No. 99-995.
[Ord. #99-995, § 1]
User connection shall mean any property which fronts on a water
main. For the purpose of this chapter, a property shall be deemed
to front on the water main if any of its boundaries abut a street
or easement in which a water main is now or hereafter located and
which water main is part of a water main of the Borough of Tinton
Falls or part of a water supply facility available to the Borough
or which is authorized by the Borough.
[Ord. #99-995, § II]
a.
Every owner of a user connection shall connect the same with a water
supply facility of the Borough, or approved or authorized by the Borough,
or to a water main available to the Borough and as directed by it.
Such connection shall be made within 90 days of the placement of the
water main abutting the subject property. In the event of more than
one user connection on a property abutting or fronting upon a water
main, such user connection may acquire its water through a single
connection from the water main or by separate connection to the water
main upon approval by the Borough of Tinton Falls.
b.
Whenever a user connection consists of a single family dwelling which
is located at a distance from the water main greater than that which
is equal to twice the lot width required by the Land Use Ordinance
of the Borough of Tinton Falls, as amended and supplemented from time
to time, for the zone in which it is located, plus 100 feet, such
user connection need not be connected if it meets and continues to
meet the following conditions:
1.
The existing well servicing the building continues to operate in
full compliance with all applicable laws and ordinances.
2.
Application is made to and permission received from the Borough of
Tinton Falls for such exception.
3.
The owner of such user connection shall nevertheless pay the service
charges chargeable to such user connection, if any.
[Ord. #99-995, § III]
The Borough of Tinton Falls shall mail a notice to connect to
every owner of a user connection in existence or under construction
at the time when a water main shall have been installed and is ready
to distribute water.
[Ord. #99-995, § IV]
If the owner of any user connection shall neglect, after notice
given to make any such connection to the water main and water supply
facility authorized by the Borough of Tinton Falls, 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 water connection or installation charge shall
bear interest and be first and paramount lien against the respective
property or properties connected with the water main to the same extent
as assessments for local improvements and shall be collected and enforced
in the same manner.
[Ord. #99-995, § V]
a.
No connection to a water supply facility shall be made by any person,
firm or corporation unless the same shall have first been authorized
and approved by the Borough or its approved water purveyor.
b.
The connection charge or fee to be paid to the Borough upon application
for services and connection of residential or commercial properties
to the water supply facility shall be set annually by the Borough
Council, to be adopted by ordinance.
[Ord. #99-995, § VI]
All work of making any connection to any water supply facility
shall be done at the expense of the owner, under the supervision of
the Borough of Tinton Falls and/or its approved water purveyor, and
shall conform to the requirements as established by the Borough Engineer
and Building Inspector or the water supply company, all of which shall
be on file in the office of Code Enforcement.
[Ord. #99-995, § VII]
Every street opening shall comply with the Borough's Street Opening Ordinance (See Chapter 15.)
