[Adopted 4-18-2000 by Ord. No. 224 (Ch. 21, Part 3, of the 2002 Code of Ordinances)]
Within 24 hours after the end of a snow or ice event, the person or persons in possession of private property shall do the following:
A. 
Remove all snow and ice to the greatest extent reasonably possible, but at least to a path 30 inches in width, from all paved sidewalks located on or abutting such private property which are used for pedestrian travel by the general public.
B. 
Remove all snow and ice from the area within a five-foot radius of all fire hydrants.
C. 
If the snow and ice is so hard that it cannot be removed without damage to the sidewalk, or if ice remains after reasonable efforts at snow and ice removal, the person in possession shall cause enough sand or other abrasive to be placed on the sidewalk to make travel reasonably safe, and shall place salt thereon and as soon as possible thereafter remove the remaining ice.
No person shall dispose of any snow or ice within the cartway of any public roadway.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
The Director of Public Works, or his/her designee, may relax and adjust the foregoing requirements whenever, in his judgment, a snow emergency prevents people from meeting the strict requirements of this article.
[Amended 6-3-2002 by Ord. No. 232]
Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any provision of this article shall, upon conviction thereof in an action brought before a Magisterial District Judge in the manner provided for the enforcement of summary offenses under the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure, be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $1,000 plus costs and, in default of payment of said fine and costs, to a term of imprisonment not to exceed 90 days. Each day that a violation of this article continues or each section of this article which shall be found to have been violated shall constitute a separate offense. In addition, violations of this article may be enforced through an action in equity and in any other lawful manner. The Board of Supervisors may delegate enforcement activities to one or more officers or agents as the Township deems qualified for that purpose, either by resolution or by proper Board action on a case by case basis.
