(A) The city may suspend the wastewater treatment service and a wastewater discharge permit when the suspension is necessary, in the opinion of the city, in order to stop an actual or threatened discharge which presents or may present an imminent or substantial endangerment to the health or welfare of persons or to the environment, which causes interference to the POTW, or which causes the city to violate any conditions of its NPDES permit.
(B) Any person notified of a suspension of the wastewater treatment service or the wastewater discharge permit shall immediately stop or eliminate the contribution. If the person fails to comply voluntarily with the suspension order, the city shall take any steps as deemed necessary, including immediate severance of the sewer connection, to prevent or minimize damage to the POTW system or endangerment to any individuals. The city shall reinstate the wastewater discharge permit or the wastewater treatment service upon proof of the elimination of the noncomplying discharge. A detailed written statement submitted by the user describing the causes of the harmful contribution and the measures taken to prevent any future occurrence shall be submitted to the city within 15 days of the date of occurrence.
