1. Defective Building Sewer. Whenever the Township has reason to believe any building sewer has become defective, such building sewer shall be subject to test and inspection. Defects found upon such test and inspection, if any, shall be corrected as required by the Township, in writing, at the cost and expense of the owner of the improved property served through such building sewer.
2. Public Health or Safety Hazard. If the Township Manager, after consultation with the Township Engineer, determines that a building sewer which has become defective poses a threat to public health or safety, the Township Manager shall give a written notice to the property owner(s) served by such sewer that the same shall be repaired promptly. The notice may also require the property to be protected by such barriers, fences, signs or other means as may be appropriate to protect the public from the dangers until completion of repairs. The notice shall allow the owner(s) such time to repair the condition as the Township Manager, in consultation with the Township Engineer, may deem reasonable in light of the circumstances, given consideration to the dangers caused by the defective condition, but in any event not more than 10 days. [Ord. 511]
3. Expenses Borne By Owner. The Township shall observe all testing of a building sewer. All equipment and material required for testing shall be furnished by the owner of the improved property to be connected to the sewer. In the event a building sewer is not approved by the Township a further test or tests shall be made following completion of necessary corrections. A fee shall be charged by the Township for observation of each test subsequent to the initial test which shall be established by Resolution of the Township.
