and/or waste matter is discharged whether now or hereafter erected,
if located upon property abutting on or adjoining any street, public
way, right-of-way, or other easement, or place in which is a sanitary
sewer, shall be connected with and shall use such sewer, such connection
to be made in accordance with any rules, regulations, and restrictions
that may be prescribed by the Township Engineer, and under the supervision
