[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
A. No connection shall be made to a public sewer nor construction of
the building sewer commenced unless and until the owner of the improved
property shall have made application for a sewer connection permit
as provided herein and until a sewer connection permit is issued by
the Township. A sewer connection permit shall also be required when
a new building or facility with an estimated wastewater flow of at
least one EDU is connected to an existing building, or the internal
drainage system of an existing building, or an existing building or
facility is expanded in such a way that the increased potential for
the generation of wastewater equals or exceeds one EDU. No sewer connection
permit shall be issued unless there is sufficient capacity in the
sewer system to convey the wastewater to the wastewater treatment
plant and sufficient capacity in the wastewater treatment plant exists
to treat the wastewater.
B. Application for sewer connection permit.
(1)
Application for connection to the sewer system, as required under §
200-2.1 of this chapter, shall be made by the owner of the improved property to be served, or by his duly authorized representative, on a form provided by and available at the Township Sewer Department office. Connection permit applications shall be accompanied by plans and specifications as required under the Township's Standard Construction and Material Specifications for the Sanitary Sewer System.
(2)
Upon receipt of a properly prepared application for connection
to the sewer system, together with the required connection or tapping
fees, the Township may issue a sewer connection permit to the owner
of the improved property. The sewer connection permit shall describe
the property for which the permit is issued, and neither the owner
nor any subsequent owner or tenant shall allow any other property
to be attached to or connected with the sewer lines or transferred
to another property as authorized under the permit.
C. Permitting for on-lot sewage disposal systems must comply with the requirements of Chapter
199.
