[Adopted 11-14-1967 by Ord. No. 451]
The following words and phrases as used herein
shall have the following meanings:
A single-family residence together with its accessory and
appurtenant buildings. Where the structure to be tapped or drained
into the William Penn Sanitary Sewer is other than a single-family
residence, each 25,000 cubic feet of space in such structure shall
be deemed to constitute one "building" for the purpose of computing
and fixing the amount to be paid for tapping or draining the sanitary
sewage from such structure into the William Penn Sanitary Sewer. Any
such structure containing less than 25,000 cubic feet of space shall
nevertheless constitute one building.
The sanitary sewer trunk line which has been described, constructed
and installed pursuant to Ord. No. 362[1] of said Borough of Churchill along a certain distance
of the William Penn Highway in said Borough, and which sanitary sewer
trunk line, pursuant to Section 2053 of the Borough Code,[2] was paid for and funded as stated in Ord. No. 359 of said
Borough of Churchill.[3]
[Amended 3-10-1998 by Ord. No. 667]
There is hereby fixed and established a charge as set forth in Chapter A315, Fee Schedule, for each building which taps or drains into the William Penn Sanitary Sewer as the same was authorized by Section 2053 of the Borough Code and so established by Ord. No. 359 of the Borough of Churchill. Said charge shall be in addition to the fees for the filing of the application for a permit to make connection to any sewer and for the inspection of such connection, as fixed and established by ordinances and resolutions heretofore enacted and adopted by the Borough of Churchill, which shall continue in full force and effect.
The charge fixed and established in § 246-21 hereof shall be payable at the time the application shall be made for a permit to tap or drain into the William Penn Sanitary Sewer, as such applications are required pursuant to ordinances of the Borough of Churchill now in effect or hereafter enacted regulating the tapping into connecting with or draining into sanitary sewer lines of the Borough of Churchill.
That it shall be unlawful for any person, firm
or corporation to tap or drain into or to permit the tapping or drainage
into the William Penn Sanitary Sewer without having made payment of
the charge which is fixed and established in Ord. No. 359[1] of the Borough of Churchill and § 246-21 hereof.
