(A) Upon determination of the source of entrance of refuse in quantities that interfere with the normal use of the sewer, the Inspector shall forthwith notify in writing the owner or tenant of such premises to discontinue the use of such sewer connection. It shall be unlawful for the owner or tenant to continue the use of any sewer connection after being notified in writing by the Inspector that such sewer connection is permitting refuse to enter the sewers in quantities that interfere with the normal use of the sewers. Each and every day's failure or refusal to discontinue the use of such sewer connections shall constitute a separate offense.
(B) Whenever any owner or tenant shall fail, neglect or refuse to discontinue the use of any connection to the sewers within 48 hours after written notice to do so by the Inspector, as above provided, the Inspector is hereby authorized and empowered to enter upon the premises and permanently seal and render inoperative, in whatever manner may in his opinion be most expedient and effective, such sewer connection. Such sealing and rendering inoperative of the connection shall be accomplished so that it will not interfere with the normal use of other portions of the drainage system on the premises for conveying sewage.
