The owner of every new building or structure
in the Borough of Silverdale used as a dwelling or dwelling unit or
in which one or more persons are employed shall be required to install
in such building or structure at least one indoor flush toilet and
shall maintain the same in good working order and in sanitary condition.
[Amended 8-15-1977 by Ord. No. 125]
No new privies shall hereafter be constructed
or installed in the Borough of Silverdale; provided that existing
privies may remain or may be rebuilt or repaired; and provided, further,
that privies may, however, continue to be constructed and maintained
for the temporary use of builders and construction crews if the location
thereof meets with the rules and regulations of the Pennsylvania Department
of Environmental Protection, if such privies are maintained so as
not to be a menace to health or a nuisance, and if every such privy
is removed and the vault thereof cleaned out and filled with earth
or other suitable material by the builder or contractor at the conclusion
of such building or construction operation.
Any privy, privy vault or indoor or outdoor
toilet facility maintained in violation of any of the provisions of
this article is hereby declared to be a nuisance. The owner of the
property upon or in which the same is located or installed, or the
builder or contractor in the case of a temporary installation for
the use of builders and construction crews, shall, upon 48 hours'
notice from the Borough Secretary, abate such nuisance, in default
of which the Borough may cause the same to be done and collect the
cost of such abatement, with an additional amount of 10%, from such
owner, builder or contractor, as the case may be.

permitted to continue shall constitute a separate offense.
