Chapter 171 Water Conservation
[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Supervisors of the Township of Kidder 11-18-1993 by Ord. No. 88. Amendments noted where applicable.]
No water shall be provided for internal or external use to any residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, recreational, governmental, or public building or structure of any kind which is constructed or remodeled and in which plumbing, water piping or water fixtures are to be installed, extended or altered in any way, and for which construction a permit is required in any way, and for which construction a permit is required to be obtained from the Township of Kidder or would be required but for an exemption from a permit requirement for public or governmental agencies, unless the new, extended or altered plumbing, water piping and other water using fixtures therein conform to the requirements and standards of § 171-2 of this chapter. The provisions of this chapter shall apply to any such building or structure for which such a building permit is issued, or would otherwise be required to be issued but for such an exemption, on or after November 18, 1993.
The performance standards of § 171-2 shall not apply to fixtures and fittings such as emergency showers, aspirator faucets, and blowout fixtures that, in order to perform a specialized function, cannot meet the specified standards.
Any person(s) may apply to the Township of Kidder for an exemption to the terms of this chapter, which may be granted by the Board of Supervisors, upon proof that some other device, system or procedure will save as much or more water as those set forth herein, or that those set forth herein cannot be complied with, without due hardship.
It shall be a misdemeanor for any person to use or apply water within Township of Kidder contrary to or in violation of the restrictions herein. Any person who violates or permits a violation of this chapter shall, upon being found liable therefor in a civil enforcement proceeding commenced by the township before a District Justice, pay a fine of not more than $600, plus all court costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by the township in the enforcement of this chapter. No judgment shall be imposed until the date of the determination of the violation by the District Justice. If the defendant neither pays nor timely appeals the judgment, the township may enforce the judgment pursuant to the applicable Rules of Civil Procedure. Each day a violation exists shall constitute a separate offense. Further, the appropriate officers or agents of the township are hereby authorized to seek equitable relief, including injunction, to enforce compliance herewith.
