In addition to any other remedy available under this Part 9, any person who shall violate any provision of this Part 9 shall, upon conviction thereof, be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $1,000 for each offense, together with the cost of prosecution, which fine may be collected by suit or summary proceeding brought in the name of the Township before any District Justice. All fines and penalties collected for the violation of this Part 9 shall be paid over to the Township treasury. Each day on which a violation shall occur or continue shall be deemed a separate and distinct offense. Upon judgment against any person by summary conviction or by proceedings by summons on default of the payment of the fine or penalty imposed and the costs, the defendant may be sentenced and committed to the Township lockup for a period not exceeding five days or to the county jail for a period not exceed 30 days.
The Township shall on its own or at the direction of DARA take any action permitted by law to enforce any provisions of this Part 9.
In the event any person discharges its waste
into the sewerage system which causes or threatens to cause damage
to the Township and/or DRWPCC or to any employee thereof or discharges
any substance that damages or threatens to damage the receiving stream,
that person shall be liable for the damage thereof, said damage shall
include all costs incurred by the Township and/or DARA including,
but not limited to, costs of restoration or replacement, fines, legal
and engineering fees and natural resources damages. The limit of the
damage shall be determined by DARA and the Township and the person
shall be billed therefor. Legal action may be taken to enforce collection
and/or Township may terminate the persons connection to the sewerage
system.
