The connection fee for each direct or indirect connection to
the sewerage system shall be as follows:
A.
Class 1: Residential. Single-family, condominiums, townhouses, apartments,
multifamily, duplex, age restricted, trailers, mobile homes (per unit):
$3,246.
B.
Class 2: Hotel or motel: $1,623 (per room). This portion of the connection
fees applies only to the number of living units. An additional connection
fee is imposed for kitchens, restaurants, taverns, laundries, offices
and the like. In the case where dormitory-style sleeping quarters
are provided, the total number of dwelling units shall be determined
by the total authorized occupancy capacity of the facility divided
by two.
D.
Estimated projected flows for nonresidential uses.
(1)
The projected flow criteria contained in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-23.3 shall
be used to determine the estimated flows for nonresidential uses whenever
practicable. In the event that a type of use is not listed in N.J.A.C.
7:14A-23.3, the Borough shall use its best judgment in determining
estimated flow.
(2)
The following projected flow criteria are hereby adopted by the Borough
as additions or exceptions to those contained in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-23.3:

For the purpose of this article, any reference to "seat" in N.J.A.C.
7:14A-23.3 shall be deemed to mean the maximum permitted occupancy
established pursuant to the Uniform Construction Code and/or the Uniform
Fire Code.
E.
Additional sewer capacity for nonresidential users. A nonresidential
user shall be entitled to use the amount of sewer capacity, in gallons
per day, that was originally obtained through the payment of connection
fees. An application for additional capacity shall be made by any
nonresidential user whenever there is an increase in the estimated
flow of sewage from any existing building, facility or structure resulting
from any physical or operational change for which a building permit,
site plan, subdivision, variance or other municipal approval is required.
A connection fee shall be charged to the user whenever the increase
in estimated flow associated with the aforesaid physical or operational
change requires the installation of a larger size, or additional connection
to the sewer system, to be calculated in accordance with the then-current
fees required for such new connections.
F.
Sewer connection fees to public housing authorities and nonprofit
organization building affordable housing projects that consist of
new connections to the system are to be computed by providing a 50%
reduction in the connection fee established in this article. Connection
fees to public housing authorities and nonprofit organizations building
affordable housing projects that consist of replacement units for
demolished or refurbished units, and for which a connection fee was
previously paid, are to be computed by charging the lesser of: the
reduced rate of 50% of the connection fee established in this article;
or the connection fee established in this article, minus a credit
in the amount of a connection fee previously paid for the housing
units being replaced, provided the public housing authority and nonprofit
organization can establish the connection fee previously paid. If
the amount of the previous connection fee cannot be established, the
reduced rate of 50% of the connection fee established in this article
shall apply.
All sewer connection fees must be paid in full prior to the
issuance of a construction permit for the premises.
In the event that an application is made to reinstate sewer service that was previously terminated at a building, facility or structure, or abandoned when the prior building, facility or structure was demolished or substantially totally destroyed, no connection fee will be due, provided that service is reinstated within two years of the date of the prior termination of service. If there is an increase in the estimated sewer usage of the building, facility or structure, then the application will also be considered as an application for additional capacity, and a connection fee will be due in accordance with the conditions set forth in § 695-51E of this chapter.
