If an improved property is served by an on-lot system at the
time connection to the sewer is required, the on-lot system shall
be broken at a location to ensure that the on-lot system is no longer
used. The location of the break shall be determined by the Township,
and it may be within or without the building. The owner may utilize
pipes or other portions of the on-lot system for the building sewer
if the owner obtains prior written approval from the Township and
such use is not otherwise prohibited by applicable ordinance or law.
Where an improved property at the time connection to a sewer is required
is served by an on-lot system, the on-lot system may be broken between
the building and the on-line system at a location approved by the
Township, and an attachment may be made with proper fittings to continue
use of the pipes serving the building as part of the building sewer,
if approved in writing by the Township and not prohibited by other
ordinance or law.
No building sewer shall be covered until it has been inspected
and approved by the Township. Upon approval, the Township shall issue
a written approval to the owner. If any part of a building sewer is
covered before being inspected and approved, it shall be uncovered
for inspection at the cost and expense of the owner of the improved
property to be connected to the sewer.
Every building sewer of any improved property shall be constructed
and maintained in a sanitary, safe, and watertight operating condition
at the cost and expense of the owner of such improved property.
Every excavation for a building sewer shall be guarded adequately
with barricades and lights to protect all persons from damage and
injury. Streets, sidewalks, and other public property disturbed in
the course of installation of a building sewer shall be restored,
at the cost and expense of the owner of the improved property being
connected, in a manner satisfactory to the Township or its agent.
If any person shall fail or refuse upon receipt of a notice
from the Township, to remedy any unsatisfactory condition with respect
to a building sewer within 30 days of receipt of such notice, the
Township may refuse to permit or allow such person to discharge sewage
and industrial waste into the sewer system until such unsatisfactory
condition shall have been remedied to the satisfaction of the Township.
The installation of a building sewer shall be the responsibility
of the owner and shall be installed at the cost and expense of the
owner. Building sewers shall be installed in accordance with rules
and regulations of or approved by the Township regarding installation
of building sewers and any other applicable law, which rules and regulations
are incorporated by reference as part of this chapter and made part
hereof, and which may be reviewed at the Township building.
The Township reserves the right to enact by resolution rules
and regulations and the right to amend the rules and regulations regarding
the installation of building sewers from time to time, and to adopt,
from time to time, additional rules and regulations as they shall
deem necessary and proper relating to connections with the sewer and
the sewer system and their subsequent use, and all of which rules,
regulations, conditions and obligations shall become and shall be
construed as part of this chapter.
