NOTE: The Borough established its own water works in 1886, and after that time enacted a number of ordinances relating to water connections, use of water and water rates. In 1967, however, by Ord. 509, the Borough conveyed the water system to Beaver Borough Municipal Authority, which operates the water system under its own regulations and rate schedules. All ordinances enacted by the Borough while it owned and operated the water system, and pertaining to the water system, were repealed at the time of adoption of this Code of Ordinances.
