A.
The Department may, in addition to all other remedies
included in this chapter,
make or cause to be made repairs to or renewal of water service pipes
if the property owner fails, neglects or refuses to repair or renew
such services within three days after receiving notice from the Superintendent.
However, notice need not be given to the property owner if the Superintendent
of the Water and Sewer Department or the Superintendent's representative
determines that an emergency condition exists, in which case the Superintendent
or the Superintendent's representative may perform the necessary repairs
or retain the appropriate persons or entities to perform the necessary
repairs, without providing notice to the property owner. The cost
of such repairs or renewals plus 20% for overhead and administration
shall be borne by the property owner and shall become a lien on the
property.

In the event any user fails to comply with such notice from the Borough, the Borough may proceed to take or cause to be taken corrective action. The cost of such corrective action plus 20% for overhead and administration shall be borne by the property owner and shall become a lien on the property.
