(A) Performance bonds. The Superintendent may decline to issue or reissue a wastewater discharge permit to any user which has in the past failed to comply with the provisions of this subchapter, any orders, or a previous wastewater discharge permit issued hereunder, unless such user first files a satisfactory bond, payable to the city, in a sum not to exceed a value determined by the Superintendent to be necessary to achieve consistent compliance.
(B) Liability insurance. The Superintendent may decline to issue or reissue a wastewater discharge permit to any user which has in the past failed to comply with the provisions of this subchapter, any order, or a previous wastewater discharge permit issued hereunder, unless the user first submits proof that it has obtained financial assurances sufficient to restore or repair damage to the POTW caused by its discharge or future discharges.
(C) Water supply severance. Whenever a user has violated or continues to violate the provisions of this subchapter, any orders, or wastewater discharge permits issued hereunder, water service to the user may be severed. Service will only recommence, at the user's expense, after it has satisfactorily demonstrated its ability to comply with this subchapter.
