No person shall uncover, connect with, make any opening into or use, alter or disturb in any manner any sewer or any part of the sewer system without first obtaining a sewer connection permit, in writing, from the Township.
Application for a permit required under § 148-10 shall be made by the owner of the improved property served or to be served, or certified plumber on behalf of the owner within 60 days after receipt of the notice as set out in § 148-3. The application shall be submitted to the Township on a form designated by the Township. All applicable fees shall be paid by the owner prior to the issuance of the permit.
No person shall make or cause to be made a connection to any improved property with a sewer until such person has fulfilled each of the following conditions:
A. 
Such person shall have notified the Township of the intention to connect such improved property to a sewer.
B. 
Such person shall have applied for and obtained a permit as required by this chapter and shall have paid all required permit, inspection and/or other fees.
C. 
Such person shall have given the Township at least 24 hours' notice of the time when such connection will be made so that the Township may observe and inspect the work of connection and accomplish any necessary testing in accordance with § 148-17.
Except as otherwise provided in this § 148-13, each improved property and building thereon shall be connected separately and independently with a sewer through a building sewer. In the case of multiple uses in a building, each such use shall obtain and have its own sewer capacity. Grouping of one or more buildings on an improved property on a building sewer may be permitted under special circumstances and for good cause shown. However, such grouping shall be allowed only after a written request is submitted to the Township and the Township grants its approval in writing. In such case, the approval may be accompanied with conditions.
All costs and expenses of construction of a building sewer and all costs and expenses of connection of a building sewer to a sewer, including testing, shall be borne by the owner of the improved property to be connected. Any and all owners shall indemnify and save harmless the Township from all loss or damage that may be occasioned, directly or indirectly, as a result of construction of a building sewer or of connection of a building sewer to a sewer.
If the owner of any improved property benefited, improved or accommodated by a sewer, after 60 days' notice from the Township, or such other time period authorized by the Township in accordance with § 148-3, shall fail or refuse to obtain the necessary permit to connect such improved property and to connect to the sewer system within the required time, the Township or its agent may make such connection, and the Township may collect from such owner all of the costs and expenses thereof by the filing of a municipal claim or lien, an action in assumpsit or other such legal proceeding as may be permitted by law.
