made conforms in all respects to the applicable requirements of the
Allegheny County Plumbing Code. Upon issuance of the sewer connection
permit, the Building Inspector shall indicate the location where such
connection shall be made and it shall be a violation of this Article
for any person to make a connection at any other location than that
indicated by the Building Inspector. All such connections shall be
made in conformity with any provisions of the Allegheny County Plumbing
Code governing such connections, with any additional requirements
that the Building Inspector shall prescribe for the individual connection.
No such permit shall be issued until a fee as shall be set by the
Borough Council, which shall be for the use of the borough, shall
have been paid to the Building Inspector. In any instance where the
sewer connection permit shall be for a building to be newly constructed
and where such sewer connection permit shall be applied for at the
same time as application for a building permit shall be made, the
building permit fee shall include the sewer connection permit as well
as the building permit and no additional fee shall be charged for
the sewer connection permit, but all other provisions of this Article
shall apply to such sewer connection.

of the offender to abate the violation as expeditiously as possible,
and each day that any such violation is permitted to continue shall
constitute a separate offense.
