A borough may, by ordinance, require any owner of property benefited, improved or accommodated by a sanitary sewer to make connections with the sanitary sewer, in the manner as the borough may order, for the purpose of discharge of drainage or waste matter as the borough may specify. All connections required shall be uniform. The owner shall be given at least 45 days' notice of any ordinance requiring a sanitary sewer connection. Upon failure of the owner to make the connection, the borough may make the connection and collect the cost from the owner by a municipal claim or by an action of assumpsit. The borough may, by penalties, enforce any ordinance it enacts with reference to any sanitary sewer connections.
