    Chapter 14: Boundaries of Passaic Valley Sewerage District

      Section: 58:14-34.29: Contents of agreement

           The said agreement shall provide as follows: A. The contracting agency entering into said agreement shall pay to the commissioners for this sewage at a rate which shall be a specified percentage, but in no event less than 75\%, of the rate which all contracting agencies pay for the use of the commissioners' facilities including the intercepting sewer. B. The agreement shall commence upon signing and shall terminate on December 31, of an agreed upon year, but not later than 25 years after the date of entry, after which time the said agreement shall renew itself annually for calendar year periods, unless either party shall give 6 months notice prior to the renewal date of its intention not to renew. C. The involved contracting agency shall at all times be subject to the rules and regulations of the commissioners governing the use of said intercepting sewer, and the involved contracting agency shall not discharge or permit to be discharged into the commissioners' facilities any substances or liquids containing oils, gasoline or any explosive or inflammable materials, or acids or other substances or liquids which alone or in combination with other substances or liquids in the sewer, may or might, directly or indirectly, cause or threaten or tend to cause, injury to the sewer structures or to the life and health of persons. Such prohibited substances or liquids shall also include live steam and excessively hot liquids, as well as any other substances or liquids which directly or indirectly, alone or in combination with other liquids or substances, may or might generate or tend to generate explosive or dangerous gases; D. The flow or discharge to be received under an agreement shall be metered by an approved measuring device or meter, to be approved by the commissioners, but to be erected by and at the sole expense of the involved contracting agency. Said measuring device or meter, however, shall be under the conclusive control of the commissioners; all expenditures for installations and connections made necessary by the agreement, including the construction of a shut-off or closing valve under the control of the commissioners shall be borne by the involved contracting agency and said involved contracting agency shall be required to maintain in a good state of repair and operation, such measuring device, meter, installations and connections at its own costs and expenses; provided, that the involved contracting agency shall not be required to bear the expense of reading the meter or the general expense of maintaining, repairing and operating the commissioners' facilities except as above provided; E. The commissioners and the contracting agencies shall not be responsible in damages for any stoppage in the flow or discharge received under the terms of the agreement; F. Where the involved contracting agency shall find it necessary in order to connect up with the commissioners' facilities to construct lines over the property or through the streets or make use of the sewer lines, of any municipality, or of any individual, firm or private corporation, then said involved contracting agency shall be obligated to make such arrangements or contracts with said parties as may be necessary, as a condition to the making of the agreement with the commissioners; G. The involved contracting agency shall conform to such other conditions, terms, requirements and safeguards as the commissioners may deem necessary and provide for in said agreement; H. For breach in any of the provisions of the agreement, the commissioners may give notice to the involved contracting agency and, unless such breach is corrected, the commissioners may forthwith terminate the agreement.
