The proper officers of Cecil Township of Washington County are
hereby authorized and directed to do all acts necessary and proper
to establish, implement and enforce a standardized system of property
address numbering to be in compliance with the requirements of the
ALI (Automatic Location Information) needs of the Washington County
Enhanced 9-1-1 System.
Each building to which a street number has been assigned shall
have such number on a background of contrasting color and displayed
in a position easily observed and readable from the public right-of-way
(which shall include the marking of driveways or freestanding mailboxes
where conditions necessitate). All numbers shall be in Arabic numerals
at least four inches high and a width of 1/2 inch. Numbers should
be preferably reflective and displayed on or near the front entrance
of the building.
It shall be the obligation of the owners of the property to
which numbers are being assigned to comply with the standards set
by this chapter as directed by the proper officers of Cecil Township.
Upon completion, a properly verified copy of the address numbering
system shall be reported and delivered by the Township to the proper
officers of Washington County Enhanced 9-1-1.
Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any provision
of this chapter, 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,
shall 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 chapter continues
or each section of this chapter which shall be found to have been
violated shall constitute a separate offense.
