Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 40a:26a-11, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 40a:26a-11.
a. For a property connected to the sewerage system for less than 20 years, a local
unit operating a county or municipal sewerage facility may charge an additional connection
or tapping fee for an addition, alteration, or change in use that materially increases
the level of use and imposes a greater demand on the sewerage system, but does not
involve a new physical connection of the property to the sewerage system. b. The connection or tapping fee authorized by subsection a. of this section shall
be equal to the amount by which the increased use and demand on the sewerage system
exceeds the use and demand that existed prior to such addition, alteration, or change
in use. c. Nothing in this section shall be construed to preclude a local unit operating a
county or municipal sewerage facility from charging a new or additional connection
or tapping fee for any new or additional connection of a property to the sewerage
system, or for any increase in the size of an existing connection or for any new construction
of additional service units connected to the sewerage system that materially increases
the level of use or demand on the sewerage system. d. As used in this section, “ materially increases ” means any increase in the number of service units; or any other change which increases
the level of use or demand on the sewerage system by 15 percent or more over the highest
actual annual use and demand that existed during the prior 10-year period immediately
preceding the addition, alteration, or change in use; provided, however, that, if
the property has been connected to the sewerage system for less than 10 years, the
average level of use and demand shall be calculated based on the actual period of
connection.
