[Added 3-27-01 by Ord. No. 0-07-2001]
(1) 
No partial or full funding source, including any other governmental agency, has required mandatory connections as a condition of receiving funds for the project costs.
(2) 
The Township Project Engineer certifies the necessity for this project and that no other reasonable alternatives are available to eliminate impact on residents not in need of said improvement.
(3) 
The project was not initiated due to public health and safety related issues to the area in which an interim waiver application is submitted and otherwise is to support the overall Township public sewer collection system, as certified by the Township Engineer.
(4) 
No public sewer main was available to the property for connection purposes at the time construction or replacement of the existing on-site sewer system took place or is to take place.
(5) 
The applicant fully completes an application form provided by the Township and further provides any documentation the Township determines necessary to authorize an interim waiver.
(6) 
That no later than the expiration of the five (5) year waiver period established, the owner/applicant shall connect to the public sewer system and be obligated to pay the amount of connection fee ordained at that time, including any other costs otherwise required for such a connection.
(7) 
That an interim waiver issued under the provisions herein may be rescinded, and mandatory connection required, should conditions change that would then not have allowed such a waiver in the first instance.
(8) 
That the applicant/owner agrees to sign an encumbrance document in recordable form that the waiver shall terminate in the event the property is to be sold and that the connection fee shall be paid and the physical connection made to the sewer collection system prior to the closing date for the sale of the property. The Township shall be the responsible party to record the encumbrance document.

(10) 
An interim waiver shall expire upon failure of the on-site sewer system or the need to install a new or replacement on-site sewer system.
D. 
Sewer availability date. The date of availability for connection to the public sewer system shall be the date on which a Township written notice was first sent by first class mail to the property owner of record in accordance with the Tax Assessor's Office records of the Township of Winslow. The date used to establish the age of any on-site sewer system shall be determined by the Township by applying the following information:
[Added 3-27-01 by Ord. No. 0-07-2001]
(1) 
Date of initial occupancy authorization for new structures which required the exclusive use of an on-site sewer system when applicable.

If the owner of any house, building or structure referred to in §§ 221-7 and 221-8 hereof shall fail to make any installation or connection required by this article within the time herein required, the Township may proceed to make such installation or connection or cause the same to be made and assess the cost thereof as a lien against such house, building or structure pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 40A:26A-1 et seq.
