A. All applications for water and/or sewer service connections shall be made to the cashier on forms provided by the borough.

B. If the water and/or sewer line must be tapped to provide service to the applicant and the property to be serviced has not been charged for the service connection as part of a local improvement district, the applicant shall pay the cost of the labor, equipment, and materials used, plus a percentage for administration and inspection costs, as established by resolution of the assembly.

C. Prior to installation of a water and/or sewer service connection, the applicant shall deposit with the borough an amount estimated by the borough engineer to cover the cost of the service connection. If the actual costs exceed the amount of the deposit, the borough will bill the applicant for the difference. If actual costs are less than the deposit, the difference shall be refunded.

D. All new water and/or sewer service connections shall be designed and constructed in compliance with applicable codes and in accordance with acceptable construction practices. Each service connection shall be inspected by the borough and/or city prior to burial to determine source of service, compliance with established borough/city construction standards and general integrity of the connection. No sewer connection will be permitted if it will allow the inflow or infiltration of material from nonsanitary sources. [Ord. 82-3-O, 1982. Formerly §13.01.040].
