Code; amended in its entirety 9-15-1998 by Ord.
No. 16-98. Subsequent amendments noted where applicable.]
No person owning or occupying premises in front of which a fire hydrant
is located shall permit hedges, shrubbery and the like to grow against such
hydrant or so near to it, nor shall any person throw or deposit snow or ice
against any fire hydrant or so near to it, as to interfere with ready access
to it for water supply or ready recognition of it.
This chapter shall be enforceable by any member of the Borough Police
Department, Fire Chief or the Fire Official of the Borough. Summons for violation
of this chapter may be served upon a defendant by affixing it to the vehicle
involved in the violation. In the event that such violation represents an
immediate hazard to the safeguard of the public safety and welfare, the enforcing
officer may, after notifying owner, if possible, at his discretion, have such
vehicle or obstruction removed. The person, persons or corporation responsible
for such violation thereof would pay the reasonable cost.
Any person violating any of the regulations to be promulgated pursuant to this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be punishable as provided in Chapter 1, § 1-16, of this Code. The Judge may also consider whether or not such person is responsible for or has paid the reasonable fees for the removal of any such object or vehicle in violation of this chapter.
