It shall be the duty of the Township Manager or the authorized representative of the Authority to notify the property owner, lessee or occupier of each structure covered hereunder in writing, either by personal service, certified mail or registered mail, to connect the same to said public water system, as herein provided, within 60 days after receipt of such notice. Any property owner, lessee or occupier of a structure who cannot comply with the provisions of this section as to connection within the 60-day period stipulated above due to causes beyond the control of said person shall apply to the township or Authority within said 60-day period for a time extension of up to six months in duration. Said application shall be made on a form to be furnished by the township or the Authority and shall contain a voluntary agreement on the part of the applicant under which the applicant shall agree to commence paying the basic monthly service fee immediately even though actual connection to the public water system will not be accomplished until some later date within the said six-month extension period.
