above. A utility or authority may, at its own option, elect to provide

personally or by certified mail, return receipt requested.

chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not

or both. Each day that a violation is permitted to exist after notice
in writing shall have been served by the Clerk shall constitute a
separate offense.
The terms of this chapter shall not apply to
a street in any subdivision or industrial park approved by the Township
Planning Board Prior to the Township of Logan's accepting the said
street for maintenance.
