58:14-34.3. Determination of capacity before making lease; hearing; notice
Before entering into any such lease, the commissioners shall determine that the intercepting sewer has sufficient capacity at the proposed point of intake of such additional sewage and at all other points of the intercepting sewer, after taking into consideration the estimated rate of flow and hours of discharge of such additional sewage, without preventing or interfering with the actual use being made of said intercepting sewer by any contracting agency therein or lessee. The commissioners shall hold a public hearing at which time opportunity shall be afforded the contracting agencies and all interested parties to present objections and suggestions with reference to the proposed lease, and if it shall appear that contracting agencies representing more than seventy-five per centum (75%) of allotted capacity in said intercepting sewer, object to said lease, the commissioners shall not enter into it. Notice of said public hearing, with all relative information and data, shall be mailed to each contracting agency, at least twenty days before the date set for the hearing.
