Where an improved property at the time connection
to a sewer is required shall be served by its own sewage disposal
system or device, the existing house sewer line shall be broken on
the structure side of such sewage disposal system or device and attachment
shall be made, with proper fittings, to continue such house sewer
line as a building sewer.
No building sewer shall be covered until it
has been inspected and approved by the Borough. If any part of a building
sewer is covered before so 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 maintained in a sanitary and safe operating condition by
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 Borough.
If any person shall fail or refuse, upon receipt
of a notice of the Borough, in writing, to remedy an unsatisfactory
condition with respect to a building sewer within 90 days of receipt
of such notice, the Borough may refuse to permit such person to discharge
sanitary sewer and industrial wastes into the sewer system until such
unsatisfactory condition shall have been remedied to the satisfaction
of the Borough.
The Borough reserves the right to adopt, from
time to time, additional rules and regulations as it shall deem necessary
and proper relating to connections with a sewer and the sewer system,
which additional rules and regulations, to the extent appropriate,
shall be construed as part of this chapter.
