The Plant Manager may for good cause shown suspend the wastewater treatment service and the Wastewater Discharge Permit of a discharger when it appears to the Plant Manager that an actual or threatened discharge presents or threatens an imminent or substantial danger to the health or welfare of persons, substantial danger to the environment, interfere with the operation of the City's wastewater treatment plant, violate any pretreatment limits imposed by this chapter or any Wastewater Discharge Permit issued pursuant to this chapter. Any discharger notified of the suspension of the City's wastewater treatment service and/or the Discharger's Wastewater Discharge Permit, shall within a reasonable period of time, as determined by the Plant Manager, cease all discharges. In the event of failure of the discharger to comply voluntarily with the suspension order within the specified time, the Plant Manager shall commence judicial proceedings immediately thereafter to compel the discharger's compliance with such order. The Plant Manager shall reinstate the Wastewater Discharge Permit and/or the wastewater treatment service and terminate judicial proceedings pending proof by the discharger of the elimination of the noncomplying discharge or conditions creating the threat of imminent or substantial danger as set forth above.
