The Authority may, for good cause shown, suspend the wastewater treatment service to an industrial user when it appears to the Authority that an actual or threatened discharge presents or threatens an imminent or substantial danger to the health or welfare of persons, a substantial danger to the environment, an interference with the operation of the sewage treatment plants, or a violation of any pretreatment limits imposed by this chapter. Any industrial user notified of the suspension of the Authority’s wastewater treatment service shall, within a reasonable period of time, as determined by the Authority, cease all discharges. In the event of failure of the industrial user to comply voluntarily with the suspension order within the specified time, the city shall have the right to remove or close sewer connections and enter upon the property for accomplishing such purposes. The Authority shall reinstate the wastewater treatment service pending proof by the industrial user of the elimination of the noncomplying discharge or conditions creating the threat of imminent or substantial danger as set forth above.
