When the City finds that a user has violated or continues to violate any provision of this chapter, an indirect discharge permit or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, the City may fine such user in an amount not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000.00). Such fines shall be assessed on a per violation, per day basis. In the case of monthly or other long term average discharge limits, fines may be assessed for each day during the period of violation. Issuance of an administrative fine shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against the user. (1952 Code § 8-14-24.05)
