[R.O. 1966 C.S. § 21:4-1]
Whenever a permit shall hereafter be granted by the Director
of Water and Sewer Utilities to any person to construct, at his/her
own expense, a private sewer in or through any public street, highway,
or alley, the person receiving such permit shall construct the sewer
or cause it to be constructed in accordance with plans approved by
the Director of Water and Sewer Utilities.
[R.O. 1966 C.S. § 21:4-2]
Any person desiring to work under a permit as provided in the
preceding section shall file a bond with the City Clerk with two sureties
to be approved by the Municipal Council. The amount of such bond shall
be rated at 100% of project cost by the Director of Water and Sewer
Utilities. Such bonds shall be conditioned that persons working pursuant
thereto shall, in all work of constructing such sewers and connecting
same with any public sewer, faithfully comply with the plans, specifications,
regulations, and instructions of the Director of the Department of
Water and Sewer Utilities. In case any work under a permit shall be
improperly done and in violation of the foregoing conditions, other
provisions of this Title or other ordinances of the City, the Director
of the Department of Water and Sewer Utilities shall have the right
to reconstruct such defective work, and the cost thereof, together
with the cost of suit, shall be deemed under such bond to be recoverable
by the City by suit on such bond.
[R.O. 1966 C.S. § 21:4-3]
The City reserves the right to connect any storm water inlets
or catch basins during the time of construction or at any time after
the completion of any private sewer that is tributary to a separate
storm drain or combined sewer. When any such sewer constructed under
the provisions of this Title is completed, the City shall assume the
responsibility of keeping the same in repair.
[R.O. 1966 C.S. § 21:4-4]
Any person who shall have caused the construction of a sewer
at his/her own expense shall file a sworn statement of its entire
cost with the Director of the Department of Water and Sewer Utilities
within one month after construction is completed.
[R.O. 1966 C.S. § 21:4-5]
If at any time after construction, any person other than the
original constructor or his successors in interest wishes to connect
with a private sewer, he/she must produce a written consent of the
original constructor or his/her successors in interest accompanying
the application to the Director of the Department of Water and Sewer
Utilities for making a connection with a sewer constructed by a private
party. Such a written consent shall be deemed equivalent to an acknowledgment
of satisfaction of payment for the privilege granted.
[R.O. 1966 C.S. § 21:4-6]
When a party desirous of making a connection fails to obtain written consent as referred to in Section 32:7-5, the Director of the Department of Water and Sewer Utilities shall proceed, upon the presentation of sworn statement in writing mentioning such non-agreement, to determine the equitable part of the cost of such sewer to be paid by the applicant. The amount fixed by the Director shall be final and conclusive. The Director shall thereupon collect the amount determined from the party desiring a permit, before the same is granted, and pay the sum to the original constructor.
[R.O. 1966 C.S. § 21:4-7]
If the original constructor fails to file a sworn statement of the entire cost with the Director of the Department of Water and Sewer Utilities within one month after the completion of the work, as required by Section 32:7-4, he/she shall forfeit any claim for compensation from any person connecting with such sewer who shall have received a permit from the Director of the Department of Water and Sewer Utilities to do so.
