A. When it is determined by the Department that it is in the public interest, the Department shall notify a person who has not met the standards of the Department for water quality of such noncompliance, and shall require such person to notify each of his or her customers in writing of the Department's determination that the quality of the water fails to comply with the standards, requirements, or conditions established by the Department and to include any comments of the Department regarding the possible dangers because of such noncompliance. The content of such statement shall be approved by the Department prior to distribution. Notification by such person shall be repeated at intervals as required by the Department or until the Department determines that the quality of the water complies with the standards or requirements of the Department.
B. Any person who fails to comply with the provisions of this section is guilty of an infraction, which upon conviction thereof is punishable in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.12.010 of this Code.
C. After ninety days from the date of notification that the quality of domestic water fails to comply with the standards or requirements established by the Department, the Department may bring an action in the superior court where such person shall be required to establish that he is not in violation of these requirements or that he has a reasonable plan for bringing the source facilities, distribution system, and the domestic water into compliance. If this is not established, a cease-and-desist order shall be issued to prevent any new service connection by such person until such time that the standards or requirements are met.
D. If a reasonable plan is established, but is not being complied with, the Department shall request that the court review the person's actions. If the court determines that the plan is not being complied with, a cease-and-desist order shall be issued as described in Subsection C of this section.
