sanitary sewer system shall be made with the use of a saddle to be
installed by the Township of Ross. The owner of the premises connecting

shall be paid to the Ross Township Manager by each person, firm or
corporation making such application a charge, in an amount as established

sanitary sewer, it shall be the responsibility of the permit holder
to take accurate measurements from a point of connection to the main
sanitary sewer, indicating the depth of the connection below the finished
grade, and the location of the fresh air vent.
