of computing and fixing the amount to be paid for tapping or draining
the sanitary sewage from such structure into the Upper William Penn
Sanitary Sewer trunk line. Any such structure containing less than
25,000 cubic feet of space shall nevertheless constitute one "building."
The sanitary sewer trunk line constructed by the Borough
