The City may for good cause shown suspend wastewater treatment service and/or a wastewater discharger permit to a discharger when it appears to the City that an actual or threatened discharge presents an imminent or substantial danger to the health or welfare of persons, substantial danger to the environment, interference with the operation of the POTW or violation of any pretreatment limits imposed by this chapter. Any discharger notified of the suspension of the City's wastewater treatment service shall, within a reasonable period of time as determined by the City, cease all discharges. In the event of failure of the discharger to comply voluntarily with the suspension order within the specified time, the City shall commence judicial proceedings immediately thereafter to compel the discharger's compliance with such order. The City shall reinstate wastewater treatment service and/or a wastewater discharge permit and terminate any judicial proceedings upon proof by the discharger of the elimination of the noncomplying discharge or conditions creating the threat of imminent or substantial danger as set forth above.
