[Amended 12-1-1993 by Ord. No. 1993-32]
The Mayor shall determine that a water shortage,
constituting an emergency, exists, and notice of such determination
shall be duly advertised in a manner and form to constitute legal
notice to the residents of the Township. Such advertisement shall
constitute a directive to the public to conserve the use of municipal
water. Public advertisement may be waived if the emergency situation
warrants the same. Under general police powers, the Police Chief shall
have the authority to investigate any reputed unnecessary use of such
water, and should he determine such use to be unnecessary, the offender
shall be summoned before the Municipal Judge and be given a hearing
thereupon on charges preferred by the Police Chief. Should such offender
be adjudged guilty, he shall be subject to fine not exceeding $1,000
or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 90 days or to a period
of community service not exceeding 90 days, or any combination thereof.
