There is hereby imposed a connection fee for each connection made to the Township sewer collection system at the curb or property line, which fee shall be payable prior to final subdivision/land development approval or the issuance of building permit(s), whichever shall occur first, and which fee shall be set by resolution of the Board.
There is hereby imposed upon the owners and upon the users of each property served by the collection system, for the use thereof, an annual rent to be computed and payable quarterly, for the previous quarter, which amount shall be set by resolution of the Board. Rents shall be payable to the "SKIPPACK TOWNSHIP SEWER FUND" at the Skippack Township Administration Building or at the Harleysville National Bank and Trust Company, Skippack Branch.
Sewer rentals or charges imposed by resolution of the Board shall be a lien on the improved property connected to and served by the wastewater system; and any such sewer rentals or charges which are delinquent more than 90 days shall be filed as a lien against the improved property so connected to and served by the wastewater system, which lien shall be filed in the office of the Prothonotary of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, and shall be collected in the manner provided by law for the filing and collecting of municipal claims.
The Board reserves the right to require improved properties to install suitable measuring devices for measuring the amount of waste flows from a property to the wastewater system. The furnishing and installation of meters or other measuring devices permitted under provisions of this chapter shall be the sole responsibility of the owner. The installation or use of such meters or other measuring devices at all times shall be subject to the approval of the Board and may be tested and inspected by the Board whenever necessary. The owner shall be responsible for the maintenance, safekeeping and repair of any meter.

The flat-rate sewer rents imposed by resolution of the Board shall be payable quarterly, for the previous quarter, and the rent for the quarter in which the connection is made shall be prorated and shall be billed in conjunction with the next regular quarterly billing or by special billing as the official responsible for billing may elect. When sewer service has been provided in such manner as to make a connection available for more than six months, any property capable of connection therewith shall be billed as if connection had actually been made.
