(A) The city may, for good cause shown, suspend the wastewater treatment service to an industrial discharger when it appears to the city 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, interferes with the operation of the treatment works or violates any pretreatment limits imposed by this chapter.
(B) Any industrial discharger notified of the suspension of the city’s wastewater treatment service shall, within a reasonable period of time, as determined by the city, cease all discharges.
(C) In the event of failure of the industrial discharger to comply voluntarily with the suspension order within the specified time, the city shall commence judicial proceedings immediately thereafter to compel the industrial discharger’s compliance with such order.
(D) The city shall reinstate the wastewater treatment service and terminate judicial proceedings pending proof by the industrial discharger of the elimination of the non-complying discharge or conditions creating the threat of imminent or substantial danger as set forth above.
