The owner of any improved property adjoining or adjacent to the sewer system that has a building or buildings within 175 feet of the sewer system shall connect such building on the improved property with the sewer system, in such a manner as the Township may require; provided, however, that the owner shall apply for a permit pursuant to §
148-11 within 60 days after notice to such owner from the Township to make such connection, and shall make such connection within six months after the issuance of such notice as provided in this section and §
148-9, for the purpose of discharge of all sewage and, to the extent permitted by the Township, industrial wastes from such improved property, subject to such limitations and restrictions as shall be established herein or otherwise shall be established by the Township from time to time. An extension of the time allowed to make a connection may be granted upon written request of the owner to the Township, or at the Township's discretion. If the Township, in its sole judgment, determines that unique circumstances exist which make it impracticable for an improved property which would otherwise be required to connect to the sewer system because of the distance from the building to the sewer system, or for any other reason, to connect to the sewer system, the Township may waive such connection in writing.
All sewage and, to the extent permitted by the Township, industrial wastes from any improved property, after connection of such improved property with the sewer as required by §
148-3, shall be discharged into the sewer, subject to such limitations and restrictions as shall be established herein or otherwise shall be established by the Township from time to time.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any stormwater,
surface water, groundwater, roof runoff or subsurface drainage into
any sewer.
No on-lot system at any time shall be connected to a sewer.
The notice by the Township to make a connection to a sewer, required by §
148-3, shall consist of a written or printed document requiring the connection and referring to this chapter and may be given at any time after a sewer is in place. Such notice shall be served upon the owner by the Township Board of Supervisors, either by personal service or by certified or registered mail, or by such other method as at the time may be provided by law.
