(A) Any user found to be violating any provision of this chapter, wastewater permit, or any order issued hereunder, shall be served by the city with written notice stating the nature of the violation(s). Within ten days of the receipt date of this notice, an explanation of the violation and a plan for the satisfactory correction and prevention thereof, to include specific required actions, shall be submitted to the City Administrator. Submission of this plan in no way relieves the user of potential liability for any violation occurring before or after receipt of the notice of violation.
(B) If the violations persist or the explanation and/or plan are not adequate, the city's response shall be more formal and commitments (or schedules as appropriate) for compliance will be established in an enforceable document. The enforcement response selected will be escalated if compliance is not achieved expeditiously after the initial action. A significant noncompliance as defined in § 51.094, will require a formal enforcement action. The full scale of enforcement actions will be as detailed in the enforcement response plan.
(C) Any user found to be violating any provision of this chapter or a wastewater permit or order issued hereunder, shall be served by the City Administrator or their designee with written notice stating the nature of the violation. The offender shall permanently remedy all violations upon receipt of this notice. As contained above in this section, the notice may be of several forms. Also as contained in this subchapter, penalties of various forms may be levied against users for violations of this chapter. The penalties, if levied, shall range from publication of violators in the local newspaper to administrative fines of at least $1,000 per day per violation.
