8-2-10: VIOLATIONS; PENALTIES:
   A.   Penalties: The following penalties shall apply for violations of water warning use restrictions imposed under this chapter:
      1.   First Violation: For a first violation, the utility shall issue a written notice of violation to the water user violating the water use restrictions imposed during a water warning or water emergency.
      2.   Second Violation: For a second violation within a twelve (12) month period, a one month surcharge shall be imposed in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the previous month's water bill.
      3.   Subsequent Violations: For any subsequent violation within a twelve (12) month period, a one month surcharge shall be imposed in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the previous month's water bill and, in addition, the utility shall interrupt water service to that customer at the premises at which the violation occurred. Service shall not be restored until the customer has paid the reconnection fee and has provided reasonable assurance that future violations of water warning or water emergency use restrictions will not occur.
   B.   Aggrieved Customer; Hearing: Any customer charged with a violation of the water warning or water emergency use restrictions may request a hearing before the water appeal board. The water appeal board may conclude that a violation did not occur or that the circumstances under which the violation occurred warrant a complete or partial mitigation of the penalty.
