All connections, service laterals, sewer vents
and fixtures furnished by the owner shall be maintained by him in
good order, and all piping and connections furnished and owned by
the Township and on the property of the owner shall be protected properly
and cared for by the owner. All leaks in the service lateral or any
other pipe fixture in or upon the premises served, must be repaired
immediately by the owner or occupant of the premises. The owner shall
be responsible for notifying the Department of the party engaged by
said owner to do any maintenance work pertaining to the owner’s
service lateral prior to work being commenced, and said party shall
not backfill any trench until the work has been inspected and approved
by the Department’s representative. Any work not acceptable
shall be immediately removed and replaced by work which is acceptable.
The Department and Township shall in no way
be responsible for maintaining any portion of the service lateral
owned by the owner or for damage done by sewage escaping therefrom;
or for lines or fixtures on the owner’s property; and the owner
shall at all times comply with applicable municipal regulations with
respect thereto, and make changes therein, required by reason of changes
of grade, relocation of mains or otherwise.
