The use of water obtained through the Mahoning Township Authority water

proceeding commenced by the Township before a District Justice, pay a fine
of not less than $50 nor 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
