Whenever the General Manager determines that any well within the City is, by nature of its construction, installation, or operation, causing wasteful use of thermal ground water or geothermal fluids, or is adversely interfering with other wells, or is polluting ground water or surface water, the General Manager shall promptly notify the affected owner, by certified mail, of the wasteful or defective well, and require said owner to repair or adjust the well within sixty days. It is unlawful to fail to repair a well or to continue a wasteful or defective operation after expiration of the sixty days following notification. And violation of this section is an infraction, which upon conviction thereof is punishable in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.12.010 of this Code.
