§ 58:14-34.

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.
