Editor’s Note: See 53 P.S. § 66802.
B. 
The Board of Supervisors hereby imposes for the cost of fire protection an equal assessment upon all property located within 780 feet of any fire hydrant.
The Board of Supervisors hereby directs that the annual assessment for fire protection hereunder shall be billed on the annual real estate tax bill for general Township purposes. The Board of Supervisors hereby further directs that all annual assessments for fire protection shall be filed with the Township Tax Collector.
If any assessment remains unpaid it shall be turned over to the Township Solicitor for collection by means of an action in assumpsit for recovery or a municipal lien filed against the property of the delinquent owner for the amount of the unpaid assessment, plus interest established by the Board of Supervisors from time to time, calculated from the date the assessment was due. The Township shall be entitled to recover all costs incurred in the collection of the unpaid assessment, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, expenses and court costs. When an owner has two or more lots against which there is an assessment for the same year, all such lots shall be included in one claim.
