(A) Except as provided herein, for a period of one year following adoption of this chapter, although installation of grease interceptors will be required to be installed, no enforcement actions will be taken under this chapter for failure to achieve limits on FOG and sand discharges from interceptors. If, during this one year period an obstruction of a city sewer main(s) occurs that causes a sewer overflow to the extent that an impact on the environment is realized and that said overflow or failure of the sanitary sewer collection system to convey sewage can be attributed in part or in whole to an accumulation of grease in the city's sewer main(s), the city will take appropriate enforcement actions, as stipulated in the city's Industrial Pretreatment Plan, against the generator or contributor of such grease or debris.
(B) If the city is required to clean out the public sewer lines as a result of a stoppage resulting from poorly maintained control equipment, or lack thereof, the user shall be required to refund the labor, equipment, materials, testing fees and overhead costs to the city. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit or restrict any other remedy the city has under this chapter, or state or federal law.
(C) Failure to maintain the control system in an appropriate manner (two sewer blockages of the city sanitary sewer system attributed to the user) will result in discontinuation of sanitary sewer service until corrections are made and the control system is in full compliance with this chapter. The user will need to pay a new tap fee in order to reconnect to the city sanitary sewer system.
