§ 5-6.1016. Harmful discharge.

(a)

The City may suspend or terminate the wastewater service when such suspension or termination is necessary, in the opinion of the Director, in order to stop an actual or threatened discharge which presents or may present an imminent or substantial endangerment to the health or welfare of persons, to the environment, or which causes obstruction to the collection system or the POTW, or causes the City to violate any condition of its permits.

(b)

Any responsible person notified of a suspension or termination of wastewater service shall immediately stop or eliminate all discharges to the collection system. In the event of a failure of the responsible person to comply voluntarily with the suspension or termination order, the Director shall take such steps as he or she deems necessary, including immediate severance of the sewer connection, to prevent or minimize damage to the collection system or the POTW. The Director shall reinstate the wastewater service only upon proof of the elimination of the nonconforming discharge. A detailed written statement submitted by the responsible person describing the causes of the harmful discharge and the measures taken to prevent any future occurrence shall be submitted to the Director within fifteen (15) days of the date of occurrence.

(Added by Ord. 3630-C.S., § 3, effective 8-14-15)
