(a) Suspension Due to Illicit Discharges in Emergency Situations. The Code Enforcement Officer at the direction of the Village Administrator or other authorized enforcement agency may seek immediate injunctive relief to suspend storm sewer system discharge access to a person when such suspension is necessary to stop an actual or threatened discharge which presents or may present imminent and substantial danger to the environment, or to the health or welfare of persons, or to the storm sewer system or the waters of the United States or this State. If the violator fails to comply with a suspension order issued in an emergency, the authorized enforcement agency may take such steps as deemed necessary to prevent or minimize damage to the storm sewer system or waters of the United States or this State, or to minimize danger to persons.
(b) Suspension Due to the Detection of Illicit Discharge. Any person discharging to the storm sewer system in violation of this chapter may have their storm sewer system access terminated by order of the District Court, or other court of competent jurisdiction, if such termination would abate or reduce an illicit discharge. The Code Enforcement Officer or the Village Administrator will notify a violator of the proposed termination of its storm sewer system access. The violator may petition the Village Council for reconsideration and hearing.
