A. 
Persons proposing subdivisions or developments requiring a main extension for sewer service shall prepare applications with the necessary supporting data and documents. The policy of the Water and Sewer Utility is to permit extensions only when paid for and installed by the applicant. No facilities for the collection of sewage with the Borough of Clayton shall be constructed unless the Utility shall give its consent and the Utility Engineer shall approve contract plans and specifications therefor.
B. 
It is the policy of the Utility to charge connection fees to its sewer system. An offset to the connection fees (Article II, § 78-36) may be considered for sewer collection systems in excess of the user's need. The offset allowed shall not reduce the connection fee below $400 per domestic consumer unit. Connection fees shall be payable within 30 days of approval of Form C by the Utility unless specific arrangements, in writing, are agreed upon. If payment is not received within this time period, the connection fee shall be at the prevailing rate at the time of receipt of the check. The Utility will not accept dedication of the systems without receipt of the connection fees. Use of the system will not be permitted until such payment, unless deemed by the Utility as a potential health hazard, has been received.
C. 
If residential subdivisions contain three or fewer building sites or lots or if the lands are deemed by the Utility to be too remote for an existing sewer main or if the volume of sewer required is greater than capabilities of the existing facilities, then consideration will be given to an individual sewer system or the installation of dry sewer mains for future use. Such individual system, plant or expansion and the location thereof shall be subject to approval by the Utility in accordance with the standards and requirements as herein set forth.
D. 
Any main extension and related facilities installed under the provisions of this section shall be transferred to the Borough as hereinafter described.
E. 
During construction, but before final acceptance, the Utility shall have the right to use any completed portion of the system without waiving its right to further inspection or testing or to order correction of any defects.
A. 
A sequence of applications for sewer extensions is required for the Utility's determination of needs, availability of service, effect of proposed extension and inspection of installed extension. Application forms are available from the Water and Sewer Clerk. No application will be considered unless a professional engineer registered in the State of New Jersey is in charge of the planning and design of the proposed sewer connection facilities and has affixed his seal and signature thereto. Each application shall be submitted in duplicate with designated fee to the Utility not less than 30 days prior to the preliminary review by the Planning Board.
B. 
Application forms must be submitted in the sequence below:
(1) 
Form A: Application for feasibility.
(2) 
Form B: Application for preliminary approval.
(3) 
Form C: Application for construction approval.
(4) 
Form D: Application for acceptance.
C. 
Applications shall be signed by the owner or owners or by a proper official of the company, or if signed by an authorized agent, a certified copy of authorization of the company shall be attached to the application.
[Amended 10-12-1995 by Ord. No. 6-95]
A copy of the specifications for the sewer main extensions, titled "Clayton Water and Sewer Utility's Procedure Manual for Submittal, Review and Construction of Potable Water and Sanitary Sewer Main Extensions" (hereinafter referred to as the "Procedural Manual"), shall be kept on file by the Water and Sewer Utility and Borough Administrator. The specifications contained in the Procedural Manual shall list the types of materials to be used for any water main extensions or other facilities required. The Procedural Manual shall have the same force and effect as the other provisions and regulations contained in this chapter. The Procedural Manual may be amended from time to time as approved by Borough Council resolution.
A. 
Should the applicant fail to tie in or connect to the sanitary sewer system within the time period specified in the agreement or, if not specified in the agreement, within two years of the issuance of the permit to do so, the Utility reserves the right to inform the applicant that the permit is void and to return the appropriate funds.
B. 
Reactivation of the permit will subject the applicant to compliance with the rates and connection fees applicable at the time of reactivation.
