[Adopted 7-23-1996 by Ord. No. 265]
In addition to any costs assigned by the Williamsport Municipal Water Authority, the Township levies a connection fee, as set from time to time by resolution of the Board of Supervisors, which the Township has determined will be the benefit accruing to each property. All fees are to be paid prior to making a connection. For existing dwellings, the fee is to be paid at the time the permit is issued. For new dwellings, the fee will be paid and permit issued at the time the building permit is issued.
All new homes being built in the aforementioned area that are adjacent and/or abutting the waterline are required to connect to the waterline.
The connection fee for connection to a previously constructed waterline shall be as set from time to time by resolution of the Board of Supervisors.
All rules and regulations that apply to Loyalsock residents that are connected to the Williamsport Municipal Water Authority system would also apply to anyone connecting to this system.
[Added 8-25-1998 by Ord. No. 274]
Any person who violates or permits a violation of this article, upon being found liable therefor in a civil enforcement proceeding, shall pay a fine of not more than $600, plus all court costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by the Township in the enforcement of this article. No judgment shall be imposed until the date of the determination of the violation by the District Justice and/or Court. If the defendant neither pays nor timely appeals the judgment, the Township may enforce the judgment pursuant to the applicable rules of civil procedure. Each day a violation exists shall constitute a separate offense. Further, the appropriate officers or agents of the Township are hereby authorized to seek equitable relief, including injunction, to enforce compliance herewith.[1]
