[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.
