No unauthorized person shall uncover, make any
connection with or disturb any public sewer or house sewer lateral
and the appurtenances thereof. The sewer contractor retained by the
Township, the Department of Public Works or such other official or
department of the Township as may hereafter be designated by the Township
Council of the Township shall make all connections, alterations and
repairs upon the public sewer and shall alter, maintain and repair
the house sewer laterals and appurtenances thereof.
Maintenance of the public sewer and house sewer
laterals and all connections to the public sewer and all work performed
on the sewer system between the main and the end of the house sewer
lateral shall be performed by the Department of Works.
Where there is no house sewer lateral available,
the property owner shall, prior to the issuance of a certificate of
occupancy, apply to the Township Clerk to have a house sewer lateral
installed from the sewer main to the curb. In each such case or in
any instance where the connection to the house sewer lateral requires
the performance of labor or the furnishing of materials on the part
of the Township of Saddle Brook, a minimum charge of $100 will be
made.[1] Where, because of the nature and extent of the work to
be done or the pavement or terrain to be penetrated or the width of
the road or any such circumstances, the sum of $100 is not sufficient
to cover the costs and expenses of the Township of Saddle Brook, the
Township Engineer or such other official or department of the Township
as may hereafter be designated by the Township Council of Saddle Brook
shall fix the fee at a higher figure to fully cover the costs and
expenses of such connection or installation of house sewer lateral.
[1]
Editor's Note: For the current minimum charge
for new or additional sewer connections, see § 161.72.
Each contractor or other person performing work
on Saddle Brook public property for the purpose of installing house
sewer laterals shall post a bond or cash acceptable to the Township
Council or such other official or department of the Township as may
hereafter be designated by the Township Council of the Township. All
work shall be adequately guarded with barricades, lights and other
measures for protection of the public from hazard. Streets, sidewalks,
parkways, curbs and other public property disturbed in the course
of the work shall be restored in a manner satisfactory to the Township.
