Each premises connecting directly to any lateral sewer system of the Township shall pay a readiness-to-serve charge of $600.

On the next successive December 1 and annually thereafter, the Treasurer shall bill the owner 1/10 of the said charge plus interest at 8% on the unpaid balance. If such annual billings are unpaid by the following January 20 of any year, the yearly charge shall be subject to a penalty as provided by law for unpaid taxes, and if said charges remain unpaid as of the following February 28, they shall be returned delinquent, with interest and penalty added to the County Treasurer for collection in the same manner in which the Township, county and school taxes are returned delinquent. Any owner of premises may elect to prepay said amount with interest at 8% per annum on the unpaid balance at any time so long as he is not delinquent hereunder.
