the Township upon request. If, in its sole discretion, the Township
determines that the sewer lateral is in an unacceptable condition,
the sewer lateral shall be repaired or replaced by the owner of the
property, at the owner's expense, within 90 days of the date that

If the owner of the property fails to repair or replace the sewer
lateral, as appropriate, within 90 days, the Township shall be permitted
to make such repair or replacement and assess the property owner the
cost thereof.
