Prior to termination, the city shall provide the user with written notice of termination of water service. The notice of termination shall state the reason for the termination, the steps which the user can take to avoid the termination, the steps necessary to have service restored after the termination, and the date, time and place for hearing on the matter, and the means to appeal the notice of termination.
(B) Following a hearing on the notice of termination, if it appears that there is no bona fide or just dispute concerning the reason for termination, a notice of shut-off will be provided to the user. The notice of shut-off shall state the time and date the shut-off will be made. Once the shut-off is made, the city will charge the applicable disconnect and reconnect fees.
(C) In addition to, or in the alternative to, the provisions above, any person, firm or corporation violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall also be subject to any remedy or injunction as allowed by law. Each day such violation is committed or permitted to continue shall constitute a separate offense and shall be punishable with a fine not to exceed the amount established by SDCL §§ 22-6-2(2) and 9-19-3.
