[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
A separate connection shall be provided for
domestic sewage, and the waste shall not be commingled with the industrial
waste within the plant. The Borough shall determine the equivalent
household connections from the discharge of domestic sewage from each
industrial plant. This shall be determined by dividing the average
daily domestic sewage flow by 300 gallons per day, the latter representing
the average household domestic sewage discharge. The annual rate for
discharge of domestic sewage into the Borough sewage system shall
be computed by multiplying the number of equivalent units, as determined
by the formula above, times the annual sewer charge applied to each
household unit.
The sections and parts of sections included
in this article are hereby declared to be independent sections and
parts of sections. If any such section or part of section shall be
invalid, such holding shall not affect the remainder of this article
nor the context in which such part of section may appear, excepting
to the extent that an entire section or part of section may be inseparably
connected in meaning and effect with the section or part of section
to which such holding shall directly apply.
Any and all ordinances and parts of ordinances
inconsistent with this article or parts thereof are hereby repealed.
This article shall take effect immediately upon
publication of notice of final passage and approval thereof pursuant
to law.
