The owner of any improved property adjoining or adjacent to
the sewer system or whose principal building is within 150 feet of
the sewer system shall connect such improved property or building
with the sewer system, in such a manner as the Township may require
within 60 days after notice to such owner from the Township to make
such connection, for the purpose of discharge of all sewage and, to
the extent permitted by the Township, industrial wastes from such
improved property, subject to such limitations and restrictions as
shall be established herein or otherwise shall be established by the
Township from time to time. An extension of the time allowed to make
connection may be granted upon written request of the owner to the
Township or at the Township's discretion.
All sewage and, to the extent permitted by the Township, industrial wastes from any improved property, after connection of such improved property with the sewer as required by § 207-3, shall be discharged into the sewer, subject to such limitations and restrictions as shall be established herein or otherwise shall be established by the Township, from time to time.
A.
No person shall place or deposit or permit to be placed or deposited
upon public or private property within the area served by the Township
within the Township any sewage or industrial wastes in violation of
this Part 1.
B.
No person shall discharge or permit to be discharged to any natural
outlet within the area served by the Township within the Township
any sewage or industrial wastes in violation of this Part 1 except
where suitable treatment satisfactory to the Township has been provided.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any stormwater,
surface water, groundwater, roof runoff or subsurface drainage into
any sewer.
A.
No on-lot system shall be used and maintained at any time upon any improved property which has been connected to a sewer or which shall be required under § 207-3 to be connected to a sewer (except that with the approval of the Township such receptacle may continue to be used and maintained solely for the purpose of receiving the discharge or water other than sewage from a basement floor drain and/or other surface or subsurface drainage facility. Under appropriate circumstances, and with the written approval of the Township, existing septic tanks may continue to be used and maintained for the purpose of receiving the discharge of sewage from existing basement facilities where the sewer provided by the Township does not permit the discharge of sewage from such facility by gravity and as long as such septic tank is operable and has not malfunctioned).
B.
For all improved properties required to connect to the sewer (and except as permitted in Subsection A), every on-lot system in existence shall be abandoned and, at the discretion of the Township, shall be cleaned and filled under the observation of the Township; and any on-lot system not so abandoned and, if required by the Township, not so cleansed and filled shall constitute a nuisance, and such nuisance may be abated as provided by law, at the expense of such improved property.
No on-lot system at any time shall be connected to a sewer. No surface or subsurface drainage facility shall at any time be connected to a sewer. (Note relationship with options in § 207-7.)
The notice by the Township to make a connection to a sewer, required by § 207-3, shall consist of a written or printed document requiring the connection and referring to this Part 1 and may be given at any time after a sewer is in place which can receive and convey sewage and, to the extent permitted by the Township, industrial wastes, for treatment and disposal from the particular improved property. Such notice shall be served upon the owner by the Township Board of Supervisors, either by personal service or by certified or registered mail, or by such other method as at the time may be provided by law.
