Pursuant to authority granted in the General Municipal Law, 53 P.S.
§§ 2261 and 2264, the Borough of Dallastown, by its
Borough Manager, Borough Secretary, Mayor, sewer billing or collection
agent or officer, or other person authorized by motion of Borough
Council passed at a duly convened public meeting, may and is hereby
authorized to request the Dallastown-Yoe Water Authority to shut off
the supply of water to any property in Dallastown Borough for which
sewer rental, rate or charges are delinquent for a period of at least
30 days, whereupon the supply of water to such premises is to be shut
off until all such overdue rentals, rates and charges, together with
any and all penalties, interest, solicitor's fees and other charges
and expenses, including charges hereinafter imposed, are paid in full.
B.
Prior to requesting and directing the Dallastown-Yoe Water Authority
to shut off water to any premises as aforesaid, the authorized agents
of Dallastown Borough shall provide written notice of the intent to
shut off the water supply to the premises if the delinquent sewer
rentals or charges, together with all other additional items as aforesaid,
are not paid within 10 days from the mailing and posting of such notice.
Such notice shall be mailed to the person liable for payment of the
sewer rentals or charges and shall also be posted at a main entrance
to the premises.
In addition to any other penalty, interest, solicitor's
fees and other charges, fees and expenses to be paid in connection
with the overdue sewer bill, before the water supply may be restored
to the subject premises, the owner of the property for which the sewer
bill is in arrears shall pay in full any and all charges and fees
imposed by Dallastown-Yoe Water Authority to shut off the water, to
restore the water service and for any lost revenues occasioned by
the Dallastown-Yoe Water Authority as a result of the water being
shut off as herein provided. All such charges and fees shall also
be a municipal claim against the said premises along with the overdue
sewer rentals, rate or charges and all other expenses and charges
thereon.
