and the distinction of rural residence and the exemption thereon as
contained in the above-mentioned chapters shall not be exempt in the
Township of Allen. The installation of any treatment tank, any absorption
area or any holding tank shall constitute either the installation

or occupancy of any building or buildings for which a system will
be installed. For purposes of this section, the installation of an
individual or community sewage system shall include the repair, replacement
or enlargement of any treatment tank, any absorption area or holding
tank, unless the Department determines that a permit is not required
in a particular case.
