[Adopted 4-30-1964 by Ord. No. 64-5]
There is hereby established within and for the
Township of Upper Gwynedd a fire and water district, the boundary
of which shall consist of the boundaries of the Township.
[Amended 12-28-1964 by Ord. No. 64-15]
The Commissioners of Upper Gwynedd Township
shall annually levy and assess a special fire and water tax in the
manner provided for and based upon the assessment for county purposes
for general taxation on all surface properties or real estate located
in the district hereinabove created which are located within 600 feet
of a fire hydrant installed on a water supply line in service on January
1 of the year when such tax is levied and assessed; provided, however,
that where an arc of a radius of 600 feet from a fire hydrant does
not encompass the entirety of a property held in separate ownership,
the tax herein provided for shall be based upon that portion of the
total assessment for county purposes which may be fairly allocated
to the portion of the property situate within said arc.
The amount of the assessment and levy herein
provided for shall be sufficient to reimburse the Township for the
cost of all fire hydrant rental, maintenance and other fees and costs
paid out by it to the private or municipal suppliers of water to the
district and all administrative costs in connection with the collection
of the tax herein provided for; provided, however, that in accordance
with the provisions of the First Class Township Code such tax shall
not exceed two mills per annum.
