[Ord. 1765, 2/25/1985, § 1]
The proper Township officials are directed and authorized to
enter into an agreement for acquisition of sewage system substantially
in the form set forth in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and to enter
into an agreement with the Township of Fawn substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit "B."[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: Ord. 1770 amended Exhibit B of Ord. 1765
in its entirety, and is now referred to as Exhibit A of Ord. 1770.
Copies of the Exhibits are on file in the office of the Township Secretary.
[Ord. 1765, 2/25/1985, § 2]
The Township, pursuant to the agreements contained in Exhibit
"A" and Exhibit "B" hereto will acquire, operate and maintain the
sewage system presently owned and operated by Collins.
[Ord. 1765, 2/25/1985, § 3; as amended by Ord.
1930, 12/28/2006]
Tap-in fees for units connected to said sewage system shall
be the same fee as is calculated pursuant to § 101.2 hereof.
[Ord. 1765, 2/25/1985, § 4; as amended by Ord.
1770, 4/29/1985, § 2]
Any properties, whether in Harrison Township or Fawn Township,
served by the sewage system shall be subject to such existing or future
sewer assessments, maintenance fees, sewer rentals, charges or rates
on the same basis as are those properties located in the Fourth Ward
Sanitary Sewer District of the Township of Harrison and served by
the trunk line into which the Collins sewage system will be connected,
except that all properties situate in Fawn Township and served by
the sewage system shall also be subject to a quarterly maintenance
fee, payable to Harrison Township at the rate of $25 per single family
dwelling unit or equivalent dwelling unit. Equivalent dwelling unit
shall be calculated on the basis of one unit per every 12,000 gallons
of water flow per quarter attributed to any structure which is not
a single family dwelling. The Harrison Township Engineer may make
this calculation periodically at the request of the Harrison Township
Board of Commissioners. This fee will apply to both those properties
presently served and those properties which may be served in the future
by the sewage system. The aforesaid maintenance fee shall be subject
to change at the sole discretion of the Board of Commissioners of
Harrison Township, any such change to be accomplished by way of resolution.
The aforesaid maintenance fee is intended to compensate Harrison Township
for the Township's inspection and routine maintenance of the
sewage system and because the properties subject to such maintenance
fees are not taxed by the Township of Harrison.
[Ord. 1765, 2/25/1985, § 5; as amended by Ord.
1770, 4/29/1985, § 3; and by Ord. 1782, 2/16/1987]
If any owner of property situate in Fawn Township fails to pay
to Harrison Township any required maintenance fee, sewage charge,
rates or rentals within 60 days after being billed therefore, municipal
liens may be filed and collected as follows:
1.
The Township of Harrison may, pursuant to powers delegated to it
by the Township of Fawn and pursuant to the Township of Harrison's
powers under the provisions of 53 P.S. § 7101 et seq., file
a municipal claim against such property for the amount due plus interest
at an annual rate of 6% and penalty in the amount of 5% of the amount
due.
2.
If the Township of Harrison can not legally file or enforce such claim, Township may by writing request to Township of Fawn to file a municipal claim, for the use and benefit of Harrison, for the amount, as described in subsection 1 above, against such property. The Township of Fawn will, within 60 days of receipt of such request by Harrison, file such claim and assign and transfer such claim to Harrison Township. Harrison Township will advance the necessary filing fees to the Township of Fawn.

of this Part 2 shall, upon conviction thereof, be sentenced to pay
a fine of not more than $300; and/or to imprisonment for a term not
to exceed 90 days.
