(B) If a user of the sewer system is identified as being in significant non-compliance, the city may decide, at the discretion of the Director of Public Works, to implement compliance remedies commensurate to the violation.
(C) Measures may include, but are not limited to:
(1) Notice of violation;
(2) Right of the city to suspend a business license;
(3) Suspension or revocation of discharge permit;
(4) Consent order;
(5) Cease and desist order;
(6) Emergency suspension;

damages;
(8) A fine up to $500.
