The owner of any improved property located in the Township and accessible to and whose principal building is within 150 feet from the sewer system shall connect such improved property therewith in such manner as the Township may require, within 120 days after notice to such owner from the Township to make such connection, subject to such limitations and restrictions as shall be established by the Township from time to time. In the event the owner shall fail to connect such improved property, as required, the Township may make such connection and may collect from such owner the costs and expenses thereof. In such case, the Township shall forthwith, upon completion of the work, send an itemized bill of the cost of the construction of such connection to the owner of the improved property to which connection has been so made, which bill shall be payable forthwith. In case of neglect or refusal by the owner of such improved property to pay said bill, the Township shall file a municipal lien for said construction within 6 months of the date of the completion of the construction of said connection, the same to be subject in all respects to the general law provided for the filing and recovery of municipal claims and liens.
