of Bordentown as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted
where applicable.]
[Adopted 3-9-1998 by Ord. No. 1998-3]
It shall be unlawful for any owner or occupant of any dwelling
or other building now or hereinafter constructed, which is located
upon any street in which a sanitary sewer is now or hereinafter constructed,
to discharge wastewater, or to cause, permit or allow wastewater to
be discharged, from said dwelling or other building into the soil
or into any other place other than the sanitary sewer in the street
upon which the said dwelling or other building is located.
A.
The owner of any dwelling or other building now or hereinafter constructed
from which any wastewater can be discharged or which has been certified
for occupancy, and which is located upon any street in which a sanitary
sewer is now or hereinafter constructed, shall cause such necessary
piping to be installed and such connection with the sanitary sewer
to be made, in order to provide a method of discharging all wastewater
from the dwelling or other building directly into the sanitary sewer.
B.
The connection of such building or other dwelling with the sanitary
sewer shall be made either:
(1)
Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, in the event
that the dwelling or other building is hereinafter constructed upon
any street in which a sanitary sewer then exists;
(2)
Within 60 days after the completion of the sanitary sewer, in the
event that the sanitary sewer is hereinafter constructed in the street
upon which a dwelling or other such building than exists; or
(3)
Within 60 days of the effective date of this article, for dwellings
or other buildings now constructed upon any street in which a sanitary
sewer now exists.
If the owner of any property shall fail to make the installation
of piping and the connection of the dwelling or other building to
the sanitary sewer as is required by this article within the time
required herein, the City may proceed to make such installation or
connection or cause the same to be made pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:48-3
and may, thereafter, either recover the costs from the owner in an
action at law, or impose a charge for such costs pursuant to N.J.S.A.
40A:26A-10 and assess such costs as a first lien on the property pursuant
to N.J.S.A. 40A:26A-12, or take such other enforcement action as may
be granted to the City by law.
Connections to sewers and the use thereof shall be subject to
such regulations as may be promulgated by the Bordentown Sewerage
Authority.
