When the Workforce Manager finds that a user has violated or continues to violate this chapter, discharge permits or orders issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, he or she may issue an order to the user responsible for the discharge, directing that the user come into compliance within a specified time period. If the user does not come into compliance within the specified time period, sewer service shall be discontinued to the user unless and until adequate treatment facilities, devices or other related appurtenances are installed and properly operated. Such service shall not recommence until such time as the user is able to demonstrate that it can and will maintain compliance. Failure to comply with this compliance order may subject the user to having its connection to the sanitary sewer sealed by the city and assessed the costs therefor. Compliance orders may also contain such other requirements as might be reasonably necessary and appropriate to address the noncompliance, including, but not limited to, the installation of pretreatment technology, additional self-monitoring and improved management practices designed to minimize the amount of pollutants discharged to the POTW. A compliance order may not extend the deadline for compliance established for a federal pretreatment standard or requirement, nor does a compliance order release the user of liability for any violation, including any continuing violation. Issuance of a compliance order shall not be a prerequisite to taking any other action against the user.
