No person shall uncover, connect with, make
any opening into or use, alter or disturb, in any manner, any sewer
of the sewer system without first obtaining a permit, in writing,
from the borough. Such permit shall be issued to each owner required
to connect to a sewer by ordinance of the borough, subject always
to compliance with these rates, rules and regulations, and may be
issued by the borough to owners not so required to connect.
Application for a permit required under §
137-2 shall be made by the owner of the improved property to be served.
Except as otherwise provided in this section,
each connection unit on each improved property shall be connected
separately and independently with a sewer through a building sewer.
Grouping of more than one connection unit on one building sewer shall
not be permitted, except under special circumstances and for good
sanitary reasons or other good cause shown, and then only after special
permission of the borough, in writing, shall have been secured.
All costs and expenses of construction of a
building sewer and all costs and expenses of connection of a building
sewer to the main sewer shall be borne by the owner of the improved
property to be connected; and such owner shall indemnify and save
harmless the borough 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 lateral.
Materials for a building sewer, jointing materials and methods of installation shall be in accordance with requirements of Article
III of this Part
1 and shall be subject to approval of the borough.
