[HISTORY: Adopted by the Township Committee of the Township of Delanco
10-12-1971 by Ord. No. 19-1971 as Ch. 99 of the 1971 Code. Amendments noted
where applicable.]
Any open or unguarded well, cistern, cesspool, excavation in which there
has accumulated any surface or drainage water, or abandoned excavation situated
within the Township of Delanco is hereby declared to be a public nuisance.
Any such public nuisance shall be abated without further notice by the
owner of the land on which such public nuisance exists.
For the purpose of this chapter, the terms used herein are defined as
follows:
One on which further construction has been permanently discontinued.
One which is not securely covered by a cover sufficient to withstand
500 pounds of pressure per each 10 square feet of the cover area, or completely
enclosed by a permanent fence at least four feet in height.
One which is not completely enclosed by a fence at least four feet
in height.
Any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof by the Municipal Judge, be punishable as provided in Chapter 1, General Provisions, Article II, General Penalty. Each day during which any of the aforesaid public nuisances shall exist shall constitute a single and separate violation of this chapter.
When any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter fails
or refuses to abate any of the aforesaid nuisances, the Township Committee
may cause such nuisance or nuisances to be abated, and the reasonable cost
of such abatement shall be chargeable against the owner of the land on which
such nuisance or nuisances shall have existed. Such costs shall be a lien
on such lands and shall be assessed against such lands and collected in the
same manner as local municipal improvement assessments.
