[Adopted as Sec. 14-1 of the Revised General
Ordinances]
Pursuant to an Act of the Legislature of the
State of New Jersey approved April 23, 1946, constituting Chapter
123 of the Laws of 1946 (hereinafter with the acts amendatory thereof
or supplemental thereto referred to as the "Act"[1]), a sewerage district (hereinafter referred to as the "Sewer District") was established by resolution of the Board of Chosen Freeholders of the County of Bergen, New Jersey, adopted February 19, 1947. Pursuant to the Act, the Bergen County Sewer Authority (hereinafter referred to as the "Authority") was erected for the Sewer District and is a body politic and corporate with perpetual succession as a government instrumentality. Further, pursuant to the Act, an agreement with the Authority for the construction by the Authority of the Northern Valley Extension and for the disposal of sewage arising within or collected or caused by the Boroughs of Closter, Demarest, Harrington Park, Haworth, Northvale and Norwood and the Township of Riverdale, in the County of Bergen, State of New Jersey (hereinafter referred to as the "Northern Valley municipalities"), has been submitted to the Northern Valley municipalities, which agreement is more particularly set forth in § 189-3. It appears after due consideration that it is in the best interest of the Borough of Norwood to enter into such agreement.
