for any excess discharge shall be the greater of $0.03 per gallon,

Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of this Part
hereby adopted or fail to comply therewith, or who shall violate or
fail to comply with any order made thereunder, or who shall fail to
comply with such an order as affirmed or modified by the Wesleyville
Borough Council or by a court of competent jurisdiction within the

and noncompliance, respectively, be guilty of a summary offense, punishable
by a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $1,000, and costs, or,
in default of payment thereof, shall be subject to imprisonment for
a term not to exceed 30 days. The imposition of one penalty for any
violation shall not excuse the violation or permit it to continue;
and all such persons shall be required to correct or remedy such violations
or defects within a reasonable time and, when not otherwise specified,
each 10 days that prohibited conditions are maintained shall constitute
a separate offense. The application of the above penalty shall not
be held to prevent the enforced removal of prohibited conditions.
If any such violation continues in excess of six months, water service
to the property may be terminated at the owner's expense.
