A. Ownership. The customer shall own, install and maintain the customer service line.

B. Size of Customer Service Line. The minimum inside diameter of a residential customer service line shall be four inches and of any other customer service line, six inches. The department may refuse to allow the installation of a customer service line that is undersized or oversized as determined by the assembly.

C. Changes in Size of Customer Service Line. A change of connection of a customer service line to an interceptor due to changes in the size of the customer service line requested by the customer shall be treated as a new connection and paid for according to HBC 13.08.130.

D. Number of Service Lines. The owner of a single parcel of property may apply for and receive as many customer service lines as the owner and the owner’s tenants may require, provided the owner’s application or applications meet the requirements of this chapter and the lines are approved by the department. Each customer service line connected to the borough’s interceptor will be billed as a separate hook-up and be subject to the minimum hook-up fees plus any additional costs of installation per HBC 13.08.130.

E. Construction Requirements. When the applicant installs a customer service line, the superintendent of public works must establish that the line is properly constructed and is of sufficient size to carry the sewage. No excavation required by such work shall be filled or any of the facilities covered without first being inspected by the department to see that such installation is properly made and that there is no violation of HBC 13.08.260 and 13.08.270. The customer shall be required to pay such connection fee as is established by this chapter for connecting to the interceptor. No connection will be made to an interceptor except by the borough at the request of the customer or by the customer under the supervision and control of the department. If the connection is made by the customer, an inspection fee established by this chapter shall be collected in advance. If the actual costs of the connection exceed the minimum hook-up fee collected by the borough, the chief fiscal officer shall bill and collect from the customer an amount equal to the borough’s actual costs of labor and material, a reasonable charge for equipment used, and an allowance of 15 percent of such costs and charges for overhead expenses.

F. Customer’s Plumbing. The customer’s plumbing, which shall include the customer service line and all plumbing, piping, fixtures, and other appurtenances carrying or intended to carry sewage, shall comply with the Uniform Plumbing Code and requirements of the Department of Environmental Conservation or other state or federal codes/guidelines which may apply.
