1028.06 UNSAFE SUPPLY.
   In the event that the results of the monthly monitoring test indicate that there is an unsafe level of contaminants in the source of supply of water for any central water system within the Village, as based on United States Environmental Protection Agency standards for unsafe contaminant levels, or in the event that the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency adopts such standards, then the owner and/or operator of such system shall immediately take steps to eliminate the contaminants from the source of supply and further take steps if possible, to eliminate contaminants from entering into the source of supply for the central water system. Upon learning of any test results indicating a contaminant level in excess of standards established by the Village hydrologist and approved by Council or adopted by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency or the standards of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the owner or operator of such central water systems shall immediately notify the Building Inspector for the Village of the test results. In the event that the test results indicate an unsafe level of contaminants in the source of supply for such central water system, the Building Inspector shall have the right and the duty to order the system shut down to stop the supply of water and to order all consumers of the water to immediately stop drinking such water and to avoid bodily contact with the water if contact with such water will cause any harm to consumers of the water. In the event that the owner/operator of such system fails to notify the Building Inspector of any unsafe level of contaminants in the source of water supply, or fails to take the necessary steps to eliminate the source of contamination, if possible, or fails to take any other steps to avoid any harm to consumers of the central water system, the owner and/or operator of the system shall be in violation of this chapter and the Municipality may seek any penalty imposed by this chapter or may seek any other legal or equitable relief that it deems appropriate.
