[Amended 8-15-1995 by Ord. No. 1226]
No person shall lay any private sewer in or
through any street or portion thereof unless he shall first obtain
written permission therefor from the Department of Building Inspection,
which permission shall, in all cases, be subject to the following
conditions, whether contained in such written permission or not:
A. Authority in the manner required by law shall be obtained
from the Mayor and Council, designating the nature of the written
permission and the conditions thereof, which shall be revocable by
the Mayor and Council at any time.
B. The location, plan and character of the sewer and
its connections shall be approved by the Mayor and Council, and the
work shall be done under the supervision of the Borough Engineer at
the cost of the owner or applicant, who shall deposit, before commencing
the work, such sum with the Borough Clerk as the Mayor and Council
may think adequate to cover the expense of supervision.
C. The Mayor and Council, at any time, may permit or
direct the use of such pipeline to any property adjacent thereto under
such terms and for such time as may be just and equitable.
D. The applicant or its successors, heirs or assigns
will convey the sewer and all its appurtenances to the borough at
any time when the sewer may be connected with the sewage disposal
plant of the borough, and the applicant or its successors, heirs or
assigns will at such time pay the reasonable sum which will equal
its reasonable proportion of the cost of the construction of the mains
and sewage disposal plant. After such conveyance to the Mayor and
Council, the pipeline and all connections shall be regarded as a part
of the sewerage system and thereafter subject to such charges for
the use of such system as may be current in the borough, and the pipeline
may make use of any part of the general sewerage system at any time.
Persons or corporations using such private pipeline shall pay the
same charges for such use as is the case of users directly of the
general system of the borough. Whenever such right to lay a private
sewer is provided, the Borough Clerk shall immediately notify the
borough collector and the Superintendent of Public Works, who shall
make a proper record thereof.
