(a) Whenever the City finds that any person has violated or is violating any prohibition, limitation or provision of this chapter, it may serve upon such person a written notice stating the nature of the violation and providing a reasonable time, not to exceed thirty days, for a satisfactory correction thereof. Such notice shall also state that any person in violation of this chapter shall be liable for any resulting damages or applicable fines.
(b) If a violation is not corrected by timely compliance, the City may order any person who causes or allows an authorized discharge to show cause before the City Manager why service should not be terminated. A notice shall be served on the offending party, specifying the time and place of the hearing to be held by the City Manager regarding the violation, and directing the offending party to show cause before the City Manager why an order should not be made directing the termination of service. The notice of the hearing shall be served personally or by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) at least seven days before the hearing. The City Manager may conduct the hearing and take evidence under oath.
(c) After the City Manager has reviewed the evidence, he or she may issue an order to the responsible party directing that, following a specified time period, the sewer service shall be disconnected unless adequate facilities, devices or other related appurtenances have been installed or existing treatment facilities, devices or other related appurtenances are properly operated, and such further orders and directives as are necessary and appropriate.
