& 174-7. Licensing of cesspool cleaners. [Amended 4-26-65 by Ord. No. 65-17] No person shall engage in the business of em ptying or cleaning septic tanks, cesspools, privies or other places used for the reception and storage of hum an excrem ent without having first obtained a license from the Division of Health. The fee for such a license shall be twenty dollars ($20.) for each vehicle used in the conduct of the business. The term of the license shall be from July 1 of each year to June 30 of the following year. Licenses issued after January 1 of the licensing year m ay be obtained for half the usual fee.
In the event that any application for a license, perm it or certificate required by this chapter is denied, suspended or revoked by the Division of Health, the applicant m ay request a hearing before the Director of Health and W elfare. The hearing shall be conducted in accordance with the procedure outlined in Chapter 3, Adm inistration of Governm ent, Article XV, and the Director of Health and W elfare m ay alter, affirm or reverse the denial, suspension or revocation.

9-91 & 174-10 EAST BRUNSWICK CODE & 174-11 & 174-10. Creation of septic system management area. [Added 8-27-79 by Ord. No. 79-157] Septic tanks and other subsurface waste disposal system s are used extensively throughout portions of the Township of East Brunswick. They are an adequate and beneficial system of dom estic waste disposal if properly installed, operated and m aintained and are an econom ically feasible alternative to costly sanitary sewer system s. However, they presently constitute a problem in the township because a large percentage of the system s are not properly installed, operated and m aintained or have failed, causing potential pollution of ground and surface waters, potential contam ination of potable water supplies, foul odors, nuisance problem s and hazards to public health. Therefore, an East Brunswick septic system m anagem ent area is created, including those areas of the township where septic system s are used extensively as specifically delineated on a Septic System Managem ent Area Map dated July 9, 1979, prepared by Carl E. Hintz, P.P., and which is on file in the office of the East Brunswick Township Clerk. & 174-11. Septic System Management Area Planning Commission. [Added 8-27-79 by Ord.

As used in this chapter, the following term s shall have the m eanings indicated: SEW AGE - Any and all liquid waste containing anim al or vegetable m atter in suspension or solution, and the water carrying waste from the discharge of toilets, laundry tubs, washing m achines, sinks and dishwashers, or any other source of water carrying bodily waste of hum an beings or waste containing putrescible m aterial. & 177-2. Required connections. The owner of any house, building or structure located on a street along the line of any sewer which is now in operation or is constructed in the future in the Township of East Brunswick shall connect the drainage of all sources of sewage in his house, building or structure to the sewer. Each house shall have a separate connection to the sewer system .
Any single-fam ily dwelling which, because of its location cannot drain into a sewer line by gravity, m ay be granted an exception to use a pre-existing individual sewerage disposal system which com plies with all applicable provisions of this Code as follows: Application shall be m ade to the East Brunswick liaison to the Middlesex County Health Departm ent, who shall transm it the application to the Middlesex County Health Departm ent and the East Brunswick Sewer Utility. If both the Middlesex County Health Departm ent and the East Brunswick Sewer Utility approve the exem ption, the East Brunswick liaison shall issue a written exem ption. A single-fam ily dwelling m ay be exem pt from the requirem ent to connect with a public sewer if requiring the connection would im pose an unnecessary hardship on the owner of the prem ises. No exem ption will be granted if it would result in the continuation of, or creation of, an unhealthy or unsanitary condition. A single-fam ily dwelling containing a washing m achine or laundry tub located in the basem ent prior to construction of the public sewer line does not qualify for this exception, and the washing m achine and tub m ust be connected to the sewer line, even if pum ping is required for the tub and/or washing m achine. If there is a change in the sanitary sewer system that would elim inate the need for a pum p or otherwise rem ove the basis for the claim ed hardship, the East Brunswick liaison, after receiving written approval from the Middlesex County Health Departm ent and the East Brunswick Sewer Utility, shall send written notice to the hom eowner advising that the exem ption has been rescinded. The hom eowner will thereupon be required to connect to the sewer system in accordance with Section 177-2 of the Code.
