Latest version.
  • The Borough Secretary, or his/her designee, shall be the official having the authority to enforce this chapter. After the effective date of this chapter, the enforcement official shall contact all owners of parcels which, from the information available to the Borough, appear to have wells prohibited under this chapter and give written notice of the need to cease using such wells for domestic use and/or agricultural use and the need to connect to a public water system, as required under § 123-5 hereof. The owner shall take steps to comply with the provisions of this chapter within 30 days from the date of such notice. Where, upon information available to the enforcement official, it is suspected that a well is being used on a parcel in violation of this chapter, the enforcement official may inspect such parcel and serve an appropriate notice and order of such violation, requiring that action be taken promptly by the owner to bring the parcel into compliance with this chapter. If the owner fails to act in accordance with such order, the enforcement official may seek remedies and penalties as provided in § 123-8.
