As used in this chapter, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
A physical condition between the water supply pipes or conduits
of water of any public water supply system or extensions thereof and
the pipes or conduits of water of any private water supply system
or extensions thereof which permits the intermixing of water from
a public water supply system and water from a private water supply
system at any point in the distribution thereof, regardless of whether
such point of interconnection or intermixing occurs on public or on
private property.
Any system supplying potable water to fewer than 25% of the
dwellings or commercial users of water in the Township.
Any system supplying potable water to 25% or more of the
dwellings or commercial users of water in the Township.
No public water supply system shall be interconnected
with a private supply system at any point in the Township.
The use of check valves or other means of preventing
water from a private water supply system from entering the distribution
network of a public water supply system shall not mean that the two
systems are not interconnected.
All existing interconnections between public
water supply systems and private water supply systems shall be dismantled
and capped within 60 days of the effective date of this chapter.
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to
prohibit the interconnection of any two or more public water supply
systems or to prohibit a public water supply system from interconnecting
with other water supply systems, public or private, outside of the
boundaries of the Township.
Violators of this chapter shall be punished
by a fine of $25 for each violation. Each day of interconnection shall
