A.
If no building sewer lateral is available, the property owner shall,
prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, apply to the

shall be responsible for all costs in connection with the installation
of the sewer lateral, including those costs and expenses of the Borough,
such as the fees charged by the Sewer Engineer or such other official
or department as the Borough shall designate who shall have the duty
to supervise the installation of the lateral. No certificate of occupancy
shall be finally issued to the applicant until the sewer lateral has
been installed to the satisfaction of the Sewer Engineer or such other
official or department as shall have the responsibility of approving
the installation and the fee for a sewer connection as hereinafter
set forth has been paid to the Borough Clerk.
B.
Where a sewer lateral has been installed to the satisfaction of the
Sewer Engineer or other official or department as the Borough shall
designate who shall have the duty to supervise the installation of
the lateral, and the work and the property which abuts the sewer has
been assessed for the installation of the sewer, an inspection fee
in the sum set out in the Westwood Fee Ordinance[1] shall be payable to the Borough Clerk at the time a building
sewer permit is issued for the connection of a building or structure
to the sewer system of the Borough.
