[Amended 6-11-1986 by Ord. No. 287-86]
In cases where the Borough of Franklin Park,
Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, has erected, constructed or built,
or in cases where said Borough shall in the future erect, construct
or build, a sanitary sewer or sewers in the Borough, either as a trunk
sewer or a lateral sewer, and there has been no assessment for benefits
arising out of the construction of the same against properties through,
along or near which the sewer is constructed, erected or built, all
persons, firms or corporations who have erected, or cause to be erected,
dwellings or buildings on said properties and desire to or are required
to make connection with and to said sanitary sewers shall pay the
sum of $500 to the Borough of Franklin Park or its assigns, in addition
to the regular sewer inspection permit and tap-in fees. In the event
that the sanitary sewer into which such connection is made was erected,
constructed or built by the Franklin Park Authority, then, and in that event, said fee of $500 herein set forth
shall be paid over to said Franklin Park Authority upon receipt thereof
by the Borough.
In all such cases, it shall be the obligation
of the person, firm or corporation desiring to or being required to
make the sanitary sewer connection as aforesaid to construct whatever
sanitary sewers may be required to transport the sanitary sewage from
such property to the then-existing sanitary sewer.
The payment required herein shall be made at
the time the application is made for the permit to connect any such
building to said sanitary sewer system.
The manner and method of construction of the
sanitary sewers and/or for connection to the sewer system of either
the Borough or the Franklin Park Authority shall be in accordance
with the rules and regulations and resolutions of the Borough and
the Franklin Park Authority.
It is the intention of the Borough of Franklin
Park by this article to provide for a payment for the control of direct
entrance into the trunk and lateral sewers of the Borough in those
cases where no assessment has been made, said $500 being charged in
lieu of an assessment of benefits for the construction of the same.
In those cases where the property involved has been assessed benefits
for the construction of a sanitary sewer, no such additional payment
shall be required.
