(A) Goal: The goal of the provisions of this chapter is to achieve voluntary compliance from the customer, and the city will take reasonable measures to assure the customer has information available to promptly and efficiently address cross connection issues. Where voluntary compliance cannot be achieved through initial contacts and warnings, then appropriate administrative penalties and further action are required.
(B) Penalties:
1. A violation of this chapter shall also be an administrative violation as defined in title 1, chapter 4A of this code.
2. Based on the criteria for imposition of administrative sanctions set forth in title 1, chapter 4A of this code, each day a violation of this chapter continues shall be deemed a level A violation as that term is described in section 1-4A-3 of this code with an initial penalty of up to one hundred dollars ($100.00).
3. Violations of this chapter that are deemed to be wilful noncompliance may be subject to level B violation as determined by the director.
(C) Appeal: There shall be no appeal of the level of protection required in sections 7-14-6 and 7-14-7 of this chapter and any appeal of administrative penalties shall follow the request for hearing procedures provided for in title 1, chapter 4A of this code. Any order to discontinue water service or any other orders or decisions of the director shall be appealable to the city manager, provided, however, that the city manager's decision shall be final and there shall be no appeal to the city council.
