When any vessel or watercraft or obstruction has been sunk or grounded, or has been delayed in such manner as to stop or seriously interfere with or endanger navigation, moored vessels or any harbor vessels, the harbormaster may order the same immediately removed, and if the owner or other person in charge thereof, after being so ordered, does not proceed immediately with such removal, the harbormaster may take immediate possession thereof and remove the same, using such methods as in the harbormaster’s judgment will prevent unnecessary damage to such vessel or watercraft or obstruction. The expense and/or damages incurred by the harbormaster in such removal shall be paid by the owner or other person in charge of such vessel or watercraft or obstruction; and in case of failure to pay the same, the borough shall impose an action for the recovery thereof. (Ord. 12-01-281 § 4)
