1. 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.
2. No building sewer shall be covered until it has been inspected and approved by the Township. If any part of a building sewer is covered before 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 a sewer.
3. Every building sewer of any improved property shall be maintained in a sanitary and safe operating condition by the owner of such improved property.
4. 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 Township.
5. If any person shall fail or refuse, upon receipt of a notice of the Township, in writing, to remedy any unsatisfactory condition with respect to a building sewer, within 60 days of receipt of such notice, the Township may refuse to permit such person to discharge sanitary sewage and industrial wastes into the sewer system until such unsatisfactory condition shall have been remedied to the satisfaction of the Township.
6. The Township reserves the right to adopt, from time to time, additional rules and regulations relating to connections with a sewer and the sewer system, to the extent appropriate, which shall be construed as a part of this Part.
7. Installation of building sewers: The installation of building sewers shall be the responsibility of the owner and shall be installed at the expense of the owner. All specifications for the sewer shall conform to the Uniform Construction Code, as amended, and duly adopted by the Township. The owner shall furnish and install an appropriate adapter to connect the building sewer to the lateral. The owner shall be responsible that a plumber, registered with the Township, acquires all appropriate permits prior to the installation of a building sewer. [Ord. 2005-08]
