FRANKLIN LAKES The Borough Council this week unanimously adopted an ordinance authorizing construction of a sanitary sewer line by developer Franklin Lakes Realty on Colonial Road.

Franklin Lakes Realty is required to install the line as part of an agreement between it and borough Planning Board for an 87-unit residential development it is building along Colonial Road.

The 27 other residential properties along Colonial Road, now with septic systems, may connect to the sewer line by paying an $8,000 connection fee, but One important point is that property owners are not required to connect, Borough Administrator Gregory Hart said.

The developer will bear the full cost of installing the sewer line, which will go from the developers property at 556 Colonial Road to a trunk line owned by Northwest Bergen Utilities Authority at the intersection of Colonial Road and Franklin Avenue.

Under the ordinance, Franklin Lakes Realty must install the sewer line within 90 days from the starting date on the project, which will be determined by the borough.
