(b) All snow and ice shall be removed within twenty-four (24) hours of accumulation. (c) Abatement. (1) Whenever snow or ice is permitted or maintained on a sidewalk adjacent to the street, the Town shall cause a written notice to be served upon the owner or occupant of the premises. Said notice shall state that if said snow or ice is not removed within twenty-four (24) hours from the time when the notice is served, which time and date shall be written on the notice and a record thereof maintained by the Town, the Town shall cause said snow or ice to be removed and the cost thereof shall be an amount established by resolution by the Board of Trustees to offset the Town's costs.
