[Adopted 5-26-1958 (Ch. 157 of the 1977 Code)]
The failure of the owners of vacant lots to
install sanitary sewer and water main connections to the curbline
constitutes a detriment to the maintenance of well-paved streets in
the Borough.
Henceforth, prior to the resurfacing of any
Borough street, it shall be the duty of the Borough Engineer to report
to the Mayor and Council whether any vacant properties suitable for
construction of buildings or any occupied properties not having sewer
and water connections are located on such street.
The Mayor and Council may direct the Borough
Clerk to send to the owner of any such property written notice that
sanitary sewer and water main connections must be installed from the
mains to the curbline within 30 days after the receipt of said notice.
Failure of the owner to comply therewith shall result in the necessary
work being accomplished at Borough expense, with the cost thereof
to be assessed against the owner and paid within one year from the
date of the expenditure.
