2. In the event that said owner of real estate fails to pay the administrative fee set forth in subsection .1 herein, or the owner exceeds three false alarms in a 12-month period, said owner shall be prosecuted before a magisterial district judge in the same manner provided for the enforcement of summary offenses under the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure. Upon conviction thereof, a violator shall be subject to a criminal fine not to exceed $1,000 per violation plus costs, to a term of imprisonment to the extent allowed by law for the punishment of summary offenses, or to a term of imprisonment for the failure to pay a fine pursuant to the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure.

[Ord. 2005-08]
3. In addition to the foregoing provisions, the Township in which an alarm system has been declared a public nuisance as herein provided may bring appropriate legal proceedings in equity or otherwise to prohibit the continued use of such system and to collect any and all damages on behalf of the Township resulting from the use of such system.
