[Adopted 1-9-2017 by Ord.
No. 450]
Where any Borough road, including the paved area, gutters, utilities
and right-of-way, is damaged in any manner whatsoever, the person
or persons directly responsible for the damage, the subcontractor
and/or general contractor for whom the person or his superiors work,
or with whom they have contracted, shall be jointly liable for such
damage and be held responsible to repair the damage within 90 days
of any written demand by the Borough. All repairs shall meet Borough
standards and shall be subject to Borough inspection. The liability
of the developer, if any, shall be determined by the Road Committee
of the Borough Council with consultation of the Borough Engineer and/or
Superintendent of Public Works, Borough Manager, and the Solicitor.
A.
All residents
are responsible for any gravel or aggregate/debris/silt/dirt that
migrates onto a public roadway from their private property by runoff,
plowing, maintenance, construction, or any other direct or indirect
means. The aggregate must be properly removed from the public roadway
within 10 days of a written notice from the Borough. If not removed
from public roadway after 10 days, a second notice will be issued
notifying the resident that the Borough will clean the aggregate at
the homeowner's cost. The Borough is not responsible for any damage
to the driveway during clean up, nor is the Borough responsible for
replacing any aggregate on the private property.
B.
If the
Borough cleans the aggregate, a bill for the work will be sent to
the property owner and, if not paid in 30 days, a municipal lien will
be filed on the property.
